"Dont believe the hype!" - Tony Thompson
We have seen in recent hours a rumour circulating that the Tony Thompson vs. David Price rematch could be very close to being made and that a date even has been set of 6th July. SylvanaBoxing.com spoke to Tony Thompson tonight to find out how much truth was behind this.
“I really don’t know where this rumour has started! I haven’t even seen a contract yet." Apparently, "there is NO truth in this rumour at all!"
So when we asked if he was aware, no rematch will be made between Tony Thompson and David Price as of right now.
“Where is everyone hearing this at? Nope not at all, like I say, I haven’t seen a contract" so as far as he is aware, no fight is on. "Tell them you heard it from me, I haven't signed a thing, yes nothing has been signed by me" says Thompson
So it seems that this highly anticipated fight is, at the moment, nothing more than rumour and speculation! We will have to wait to see if it can be made in the future, but for now, it looks like it could be a while! "I’m not saying until I get some real offers on the table”. We heard it from Tony Thompson.
Which has to be at least 5x as much as he was paid for the first fight.
Which means Price settling for 1/5 of what he made the first time around.
Should be an easy deal to make right?
This is just a desperate ploy by Maloney to pressure Thompson in the court of public opinion. He knows the muppet Brit boxing fans will sh*t on Thompson and call him a ducker for turning down even a pathetic and insulting offer.
Exactly! That's why they need to pay him what he asked for if they want the rematch especially with the level of disrespect Thompson claimed he was shown prior to their fight...
Am sure the fight would happen, Thompson just needs to get paid what he wants.
