The new contract that Buakaw did not agree to sign:

New contract that Buakaw did not agree to sign

[Notes/comments are added in square brackets.]

1. The head of Por Pramuk camp accepts Buakaw as the camp's fighter, but allows Buakaw to train on his own elsewhere.

2. Buakaw will represent Por Pramuk camp & no other camp.

3. Buakaw will use the fight name 'Buakaw Por Pramuk'.

4. This new contract will last from 22 May 2012 to 5 November 2018.

[It is to cover the remaining duration of the existing 8-year contract that Buakaw had signed with the camp back in 2010. This new contract is meant to supercede Buakaw's existing contract.]


5. Buakaw's earnings from fights will be split 60:40 (60% to Buakaw, 40% to the camp).

6. Buakaw's income from advertising, public appearances, & all forms of sponsorship will be split 75:25 (75% to Buakaw, 25% to the camp).

7. Any contracts for activities mentioned in clauses 5 & 6 must be agreed upon & signed by both Buakaw & the camp in order for them to be considered valid, & a contract that offers higher benefits must be accepted over one that offers lower benefits. In addition, for advertising for (the sponsor) Boon Rawd Brewery & its group (of companies), Buakaw must be paid no less than what they had paid him in the past.

8. All of the income will be shared according to this contract starting from the date on which it is signed, until 5 November 2018.

9. Both parties must travel & attend all events together, be it within Thailand or overseas. Travel expenses for both parties will be covered by the party that arranged to participate in the event.


[E.g. If Buakaw accepts - with the permission of Por Pramuk camp - an invitation extended to him to fight, he must pay for Por Pramuk camp to travel together with him to the event.]

10. Por Pramuk camp will drop their lawsuit against Buakaw* in return for Buakaw cancelling his request to the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) to terminate his existing contract with the camp**, & the camp will withdraw their objection against his participation in the 17 April 2012 Thai Fight event that they filed with the SAT.***

[* Does not mention dropping the lawsuit against Buakaw's sports science trainer Mr. Teerawat Yioyim, or Sport Art. Co.]

[** In Buakaw's letter to the SAT on 26 March 2012 requesting to terminate his contract with Por Pramuk camp, he said that the camp owes him 3 million baht. This clause implies that the entire debt that the camp owes him will be waived.]

[*** Withdrawing the objection could allow SAT's Board of Boxing Sport to cancel the 6-month suspension.]

11. Buakaw must contact Por Pramuk's lawyer regarding any contract/agreement (for activities mentioned in clauses 5 & 6) that he wants to accept.


12. Any party who makes an agreement without the other party's permission will be fined 2 million baht. This applies to activities mentioned in clauses 5 & 6. Buakaw must agree for this clause [clause 12] to apply retroactively to cover the period from 1 March 2012 to 22 May 2012.

[It effectively means that Por Pramuk camp wants to fine Buakaw 2 million baht for fighting in Thai Fight on 17 April 2012.]
_________________

Buakaw wants Por Pramuk camp to drop their lawsuit against his sports science trainer, Mr. Teerawat Yioyim, before he will sign this new contract with the camp.

There are also many details of this contract that need to be clarified & even changed before it can be signed.

Maj. Gen. Intharat decided to give both parties more time to examine the details of the new contract before they sign it, & so they will all meet again on 31 May 2012.

The educational history of Mr. Sombat Banchamek (Buakaw Por Pramuk)

I saw the educational history of Buakaw from Buakaw fan page.I hope you guy like it

The educational history of Mr. Sombat Banchamek

Mr. Sombat Banchamek was born on 8 May 1982. He started the first semester of his first year of secondary education (Matthayom 1, or first year of junior high school) in 1995, at Ban Non Sawan School in Kor Kaew subdistrict, Samrongthab district of Surin province. His registration as a student for secondary education was taken care of by his parents Mr. Seng Banchamek & Mrs. Pan Banchamek.

Regarding the controversy over when exactly Mr. Sombat Banchamek first started living at Por Pramuk camp, it is clear from his educational history that he completed his secondary education (Matthayom 3, or third year of junior high school) in his home district of Surin province in March 1998, in the year which he turned 16 years of age. This agrees with what his elder sister said in an interview with the 'Khon Khon Khon' TV programme, that Mr. Sombat Banchamek left home to live at the camp when he was about 14 or 15 years old. The majority of students in the graduating class at this secondary school would be about this age too. This is a copy of the record of his registration as a student according to the Ministry of Education.

Buakaw Update 2 July 2012

15 June 2012. Buakaw issued a statement through his lawyer regarding Por Pramuk camp's lawsuit. The camp had filed this lawsuit against Buakaw claiming 100 million baht in damages after he fought in Thai Fight at Pattaya on 17 April 2012.

Buakaw believes that he was right to fight on 17 April 2012. This is because on 31 October 2010, the head of Por Pramuk camp, Mr. Teeraphat Rojanathan (Au), had brought him to sign a contract with Sport Art Co., the organiser of Thai Fight. This contract specifies that Buakaw has to fight in Thai Fight events for 2 years until December 2012. Mr. Teeraphat had signed as a witness on this contract, & so Por Pramuk camp understood that they had signed over all rights to grant Buakaw the permission to fight - including in Thai Fight events - to Sport Art Co. for 2 years in this contract. If Buakaw did not fight in Thai Fight as required by the contract, he would be fined 1.5 million baht for breach of contract.

In addition to the lawsuit, Por Pramuk camp had also filed a request for a court injunction to block Buakaw from boxing & appearing in any form of advertising until the lawsuit is settled. This request is scheduled to be heard by the court on 2 July 2012. Buakaw has already registered his objection to this request. He had already announced his retirement from boxing in front of the Registrar of the Board of Boxing Sport & the media on 31 May 2012. Furthermore, he has also submitted a letter [to the Board of Boxing Sport] requesting that his status as a boxer be revoked. Under the law, he would not be able to box again without this official status as a boxer.*

[* Hence there is no longer a need for a court injunction to block him from boxing.] 

As for appearing in advertisements or shows, this is unrelated to boxing. Buakaw should have the freedom to pursue these activities, & he has to work in order to earn a living & support his father & other relatives. [Referring to the terms of his existing contract with the camp] Buakaw said, 'Even if I want to set up a stall & sell larb or somtam*, I will have to ask the camp for permission first, right? & I must share this income with the camp too?'

[* larb - spicy salad of minced meat & herbs, somtam - Thai spicy papaya salad.]



The new contract with Por Pramuk camp that Buakaw refused to sign [on 31 May 2012] has been publicised online. The majority of the people who have seen it say that if this contract is indeed real, there are several clauses that are totally unfair to Buakaw & this is probably what caused him to announce that he would quit boxing.
