A Miami boxing promoter is picking a legal fight with Top Rank Inc., claiming a much larger, Las Vegas-based rival ignored its “exclusive” rights to arrange champion Guillermo Rigondeaux’s bouts and signed him to a Sept. 15 pay-per-view match on HBO.

Caribe seeks an injunction to stop the fight, said its attorney, Jared Lopez of Black, Srebnick, Kornspan & Stumpf in Miami.
