Say Ken Pavia is his exclusive agent. Couldn't Baroni fire Pavia or relieve him of his booking duties (and kept him just for media representation and getting sponsors)? That way he wouldn't have gotten into trouble for getting AKA to book him a fight in Japan. I’m a bit confused by this. Say Ken Pavia is his exclusive agent.

You train your butt off and your manager books you on shows that not only don't happen, but you don't get paid. I think Baroni used Pavia to try and beat the steroid rap with the CSAC, but Phil knows Pavia cannot get him the fights he needs. I am sure Phil will let Pavia keep trying to get him sponsors, and that Phil does not mind that Pavia ball washes him on the MMA Forums, but that Phil want to make money and fight and it is obvious that Pavia cannot make that happen.

He seemed to be tightly aligned with the promoters, and steered quite a few of his clients to the card.
