Tito Ortiz: Juanito Ibarra Is A Thief

A few days ago Tito sat down with PunchDrunkGamer.com and had some choice words for Rampage Jackson's former trainer and mentor, Juanito Ibarra:"Let me explain this to you because it really pisses me off that Ibarra has done what he has done, he is a thief," said Ortiz. "I have been running training camps for seven years up in Big Bear California and the most that my camp has cost a fighter to attend is $35,000. Ibarra was charging Jackson $65,000 to go to Big Bear. I don’t understand that! He was being very disrespectful and taking advantage of Rampage. Including travel, training partners, food and lodging, the most ever was $35,000, maybe if you flew in more trainers… 40K. Where did that extra money go that Ibarra was charging? Rampage is really pissed and he feels betrayed that he was taken advantage of and I couldn’t agree more with him. I don’t care if Juanito reads this or hears about it anywhere, he already knows that he is blackballed. I don’t care who you are; fighters work very hard for the money they earn and I feel slighted for even knowing Juanito."It has been weeks since Ibarra and Jackson split, and we still do not know the full story of what went on between the two of them that caused things to go sour. So far this is the most detailed information on the subject we have gotten, and it vibes with the majority of the speculation around the situation: that Rampage was bilked out of money by Juanito, who took advantage of his control over Rampage's career, betraying the man he claimed was like his son.
