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

    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]

    Winky is a fool. People hate on Floyd so much that they just side with Winky but there is no way in hell that he should get 50/50 with Floyd when Floyd has the bigger name and Winky has all the advantages in the fight. Now he loses to Taylor and Taylor is the bigger name but Winky still thinks he deserves 50/50. Both Floyd & Taylor dont care. They have plenty of other big money fights then can make.

    Winky is just going to look like a fool just like he did by turning down Shane and then fighting him a year or so later for much less money. He better just wait around and hope that Oscar beats Floyd and then fights him because other then that, he will be a fool.

    On top of that Margarito offered him big money and he turned it down because it wasnt Floyd money and again Winky had all the advantages. He thinks too highly of himself and he's losing 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.

        Taylor is the reigning champ.
        Is Winky crazy?

          I don't understand why Taylor wouldn't sign this, or why people think Taylor should get the majority of the purse. I understand Taylor is the champ and has victories over Hopkins, but let's not forget Winky fought a damn good fight, earned the draw, some people thought he won, and outclassed Mosley Trinidad and Vargas(****ing bull**** decision).

          50/50 seems fair to me

              True, my bad but he still doesnt deserve the 50/50 and there is no way Taylor will do it or beat waste time thinking about it. Winky is in no position to do this. Its not like Taylor has to fight him or he will make some monster bucks with him like he's Oscar or someone

                None of that other stuff matters because he didnt turn into a big star because of those fights and he's not a big money man. Robbed or not, its the business and unless you have the bigger name then you have to win the fight. He didnt do that so he has to take less. Would you give him 50/50 if you were Taylor? If you would then why? You dont have to. Your the Champ and your the one with the bigger name. You can just fight someone else. Taylor has the upper hand so he deserves more money

                  Taylor is the champ, he gets the bigger purse.
                  Its simple.
                  Winky isnt a big enough draw to deserve 50/50.

                    For those of you who say that the champ should get the majority, why did Mayorga get less money than DLH when Mayorga was the champ and DLH was the challenger? Because the one who puts more asses in chairs and eyes on televisions is the person who deserves the most money.

                    In this case, it's Jermain. He just happens to be the champ, but that shouldn't play a role in it. Winky is just trying to price himself out of the fight. Remember what he said after the fight? He said he was not interested in a rematch. I think it's still the case and he's just trying to keep up appearances.

                    Taylor will probably move up and face the winner of Calzaghe/Manfredo Jr. if Winky doesn't agree to Taylor's terms. That means that Winky will be left fighting whomever is left at Middleweight and he won't even make HALF of what he would taking a 60-40 split against Taylor.

                    Winky is an idiot.
