Ali Funeka's Punishment Being Pushed By Local Media

[rod_serrs]

This is ridiculous that after such a perfromance against Campbell, Funeka's only public exposure is negative, and over something so ****** and trivial. This really does sound BSA is trying to seem more important than it actually is and that their possible cut was not given accordingly. This doesn't sound like an infraction that should have been pursued so seriously nor one that should take precedent over his performance and possible future shots.

The Apartheid still lives strong in South Africa.

Does BSA get a cut of his purse or something?? I dont see what the problem is.

Yes they do, Thats why they wanted a copy of his contract so they would know how much he was earning for the fight.

I think they were supposely entitled to 3% of his earning.

Actually it's 1.5%, but it doesnt really matter. He should move somewhere else and tell them to pound sand.

Thanks, I would take your word for it since you guys are more closer to the scene, I read it somewhere else that they wanted a cut of his earning which its ridiculous after him paying his trainers, Managers,promoters and the US taxman whats left for a guy that was actually in the ring taking punches to the head???

what an outrage!

Ali Funeka did South Africa proud by showing a warriors heart in his fight with NAte ! The rule is a ****** one and does not make a lot of sense. is he owned by the committee? If not let the man be and if need be send a copy of the contract and be done with it. South Africa has a boxer who could one day be a champ! Enough said!

ali should tell the bsa to kick rocks

[Great Afrikan]

Ali Funeka will not move anywhere, he will remain in South Afrca and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand the nature of life there...

Having said that, BSA must lighten up and stop with these threats.

[HOMETOWNCHAMP]

the BSA need to shut up. This guy goes and tries to win 3 lightweight titles to bring to South Africa and they want to punish him. Are these guys for real. This guy has to pay enough money as it is without these guys getting a cut.

[Piper the Great]

this is probably why we dont see to many african fghters. dude probably said **** your premission im going fight.

i knw they knew the fight was made already they waited to see the outcome. they probably was like "if he win we gon sweep this under the rug but if he lose we gon ruin him"
