The Bagel Boss, Threatened With Legal Action, is Now Using the Nickname "Angry Bagel Guy"
Just a brief update here since I’ve beaten this story to death over the past week.
Chris Morgan, aka the “Bagel Boss,” is scheduled to box Lenny Dykstra next month in Atlantic City. However, he is no longer allowed to go by that moniker, due to legal action threatened by the Bagel Boss chain of stores.
Via TMZ:
The stores, in NYC and all over Long Island, fired off a cease and desist letter to Chris.
As you can see … he now goes by The Angry Bagel Guy. It’s not as catchy, but it still gets the job done.
According to the letter — obtained by TMZ — the lawyer for Bagel Boss demanded Morgan and fight promoter Damon Feldman stop using its name for ads and promos for the event or risk getting sued for trademark violation.
We’ve learned that within hours of the legal threat being sent Monday, the changes were made and the Bagel Boss nickname was axed and replaced with the new one.
Morgan will henceforce be known as “The Angry Bagel Guy.”
That’s it. The next update will be when the fight actually takes place, or when it’s cancelled, or when have another really slow news day.
