Elvis and Colonel Parker part 2?
Dennis Orcollo contract
- Thread starter elitecustomcues
- Start date
I heard the first two meetings with ESPN went very well - the last two meetings didn't go as good. But maybe that deal isn't dead yet. :grin:
lets not forget the guy put roof under his head ,paid all his flights,entries,feed him give him spending money, send money to his family... prob give him bonuses.. setting him exhibitions up coaching,money matches..heard got him a green card .. so its not a terrible deal
but 10 year contract doesn't make any sense i don't know any sport in the world that gives 10 year contracts
Good! This is such a bad deal for the player. I would have bet you wouldn't put yourself in this position.
cost a lot of money to get pool on espn lol.
Exactly. ..
I would hope that the brother is just an idiot and didn't have French's permission to post the contract. What possible benefit could posting that bs contract have for French?

Daz,
None of that is in the contract. Nothing in the contract requires French to do any those things.

Fair point Darren, but it would seem the fair thing to do would be to put that part in writing as well so Dennis wouldn't be carrying all the risk - otherwise why put it in writing at all. At the very least it's an unfair contract, but looks closer to exploitation of a tough situation.

Contracts 101
Well, I do not specialize in contract law and my contracts class in law school took place in 1977, but I think there has to be consideration for a contract to be valid, in other words, if you agree to do something, you have to get something from it.
There does not seem to be any consideration going to Dennis.

If he paid for his green card and that is true, Dennis would owe for the fees involved - according to this contract. Hell, French could say he had to hire a chef and charge Dennis for half of that - if he did provide him food. He also hired a roofer to put the roof over his head, so Dennis owes for half of that as well. The contract gives Dennis no protection on anything.
I am going to draft up a bunch of these contracts and edit them for all different professions. I will change my contracts to be for life though. I can pass out a few thousand of them and hopefully I can get a few dozen people to sign them and I can just sit at home and collect 50% of their earnings forever. Solid business model Mr French, thank you.
If you think ESPN ever contacted him, I'll sell you that bridge the US took from your country and put in Arizona.....real cheap.
According to how this contract is worded, if the match with Shane had taken place with Dennis putting up $25k of his own money, and Dennis had won, would Mr. French be entitled to 50% of $100k, 50% of $50k, or 50% of $25k?

Guess if I were Mr. Orcollo, I would classify myself and my earnings as "amateur" pool and billiards player.
DO does not need him for a green card .
Dennis has been coming here for years and has been paying income tax .
All Dennis had to do was hire a renowned immigration lawyer in LA.
