According To BTalk, Hanshaw now says he is fighting RJJ with or without Gary Shaw's support...apparently they offered 30,000 less than the contract agreement of $150,000...but the fight appears back on....who knows whether it will happen or not
Sounds fishy to me, maybe they paid him to pull out of the fight since RJJ has a done deal to fight Trinidad and Don King wants no risks taken.
I think you might be right. It just doesn't make sense for Hanshaw to say 150 K isn't enough when that is more than he has ever made and he is getting a huge career opportunity to fight a big name who is faded and could be very ripe for an upset.
Plus this happens directly after the Jones-Trinidad fight is worked out. Gotta wonder about that timing since the Hanshaw-Jones contract was signed a while ago and he didn't have a problem with the money until now.
