Wright: "50-50, or No Taylor Rematch"

[Mishra100]

Too bad this doesn't sound like it is going to happen. By the way 50/50 is NOT pricing yourself out. 60/40 like RJJ vs Hopkins IS pricing yourself out.

He didnt lose, it was a draw. If anyone was viewed as the loser, it was Taylor. He should agree to a 55-45 split, but he's stubborn.

Wow, little biased, eh? How can you say Taylor was viewed as the loser when he was the champion and it was a draw? Taylor is the champ. He gets 60%. That's how it's done. Wright is a crybaby *****.

Anytime you knowingly ask for more than the other party is willing to pay you are pricing yourself out.

For example, if I knew that DLH wouldn't fight me for anything less than 90-10, and I demanded 85-15 or no fight, I'd be pricing myself out. The percentages don't matter. Taylor has said 55-45 or no fight and Winky keeps insisting on 50-50 when he is not the one bringing the money to the fight. So, by asking for parity, Winky is pricing himself out of the fight.

Precisely.

Winky is asking for too much and le's not forget Ike. Winky has a tough fight ahead of him. Quartey might be a little past his prime but he still brings his A game. If Winky loses he's going to regret not taking the Taylor rematch.

Well before the Hopkins fight, Taylor was far from a household name, & Wright had paid his dues. I'd have to agree that Taylor did lose, he lost his undisputed championship, he might still be champ, but for someone to have gotten a draw it would mean that he has been disputed, technically speaking both Taylor & Wright are the best MW out there, they fought hard & couldn't break each other down, they've both earned a 50/50 split in the next fight, & I honestly don't see either of them in a more lucrative fight then that anyways, so someone is gonna have to swallow their pride on this one.

Thank you Pump I need not post now........clearly Winky won that fight.It sucks that is probably will never happen again though since Winky won't be slighted....some call it whining others call it demanding what he deserves.

It should be 50/50.

If Taylor moved up to fight Calzaghe at 168, what would you say if it was 60/40 in Calzaghe's favour, seeing as he's the reigning champ'n'all.

[ferocity]

Former junior middleweight champion Winky Wright has reaffirmed his position with respect to a rematch with current WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor. He wants a 50-50 split of the purse or the rematch will never happen. [details]

Forget Winky, does he foreget where he was years ago, no cause even his shadow didn't know who Winky was. Now he's like this spoiled kid that finally got things going his way and now, its his way or no way.

Taylor should just tell Winky to go **** himself. Winky sounds like a greedy fighter. Granted it took him a long while to get to the top, but now that he's here, he somhow, belives he deserves back taxes, Winky is full of himself and i hope Quartey gives him a reality check. **** Winky, boycott his fights. Whos he think he is Delahoya.

Taylor don't need Winky, he won the fight. Theres a lot of fighters he can fight at middleweight or he can move up and theirs some names their too.

[restless_438]

Wright basically won the first fight.. he deserves a good split.. people need to get off Taylor's nuts already..

and im glad Winky's stubborn and won't roll over for DiBella and his bull****..

Wright's the better fighter and if Team Taylor would get anymore than 100 miles away from home to have a fight, it would show

and holy **** Ferocity, nuthugger to the fullest.... ^^ anyone who thinks Taylor won that first fight is a perfect example
