Description
This case involves the interpretation of section 542.335(1)(j), Florida Statutes (1997), and whether the statutory presumption of irreparable injury where a valid contract restricting competition is breached is a conclusive one or a rebuttable one. We hold that it is a rebuttable presumption and affirm the trial court's denial of a temporary injunction. Although boxer Julio Cesar Chavez signed an exclusive promotional contract with Don King Productions, Inc. (""DKP"") in 1997, Chavez subsequently signed in 1998 a two-bout agreement with Top Rank, Inc., another promoter, for a fight on June 22, 1998 and, if successful, the upcoming World Boxing Commission Welterweight Championship scheduled for September 18, 1998. Chavez filed suit to determine the enforceability of his contract with DKP, who then filed a counterclaim based on breach of the exclusive contract and moved the court for a temporary injunction based on said contract. DKP cancelled a hearing to prevent the June fight, which took place. However, in August it rescheduled a hearing on the motion. After the hearing, the trial court denied the temporary injunction, finding that DKP had suffered no irreparable harm, and, in the alternative, that DKP had ""waived"" any irreparable harm by withdrawing its motion to stop the June fight.
