Saudi Arabia events bad for big-time boxing

[Smash]

Why is that so difficult to understand? Are you just flat out refusing to believe that Bud agreed to a lower guarantee but a high PPV upend deal after he left Arum?

sigh oh yeah lets see then

turki to bud, hey bud ill pay u 2.5 mil upfront and if the event does well i will pay u more than that, Bud thinks ok turki yeah your are changing the sport i like u i agree, turki say Great thanks bud

after the event figures come back in turki not happy he has to ring bud tell him the bad news no more cash for bud event did poor, ring ring hi bud im sorry to say but all u get is 2.5 mil and nothing else ppv numbers are poor, Bud eyes wider, eh ok turki thats a pity but im ok with it i guess

LOL

When did boxing become so reputable

Just askin’

Boxing is and has always been a shady business.

If you're suggesting that deals were made on the side that allowed Bud to make unreported money, I won't argue that, because I can't prove that Turki didn't pay Bud under the table. Maybe you can prove that Turki paid Bud more under the table, but I surely can't.

What I can prove, is that $2.5 million is the guaranteed amount that was reported to the State. For some reason a couple of guys get bent out of shape because the reported guaranteed amount that Turki Bud paid is only $2.5 million.

Should we guess or imagine that Turki paid Bud millions more under the table?? Why not? I'm a fan of Bud, I'm gonna guess or imagine that Turki paid Bud another $75 million to fight Madrimov. Why wouldn't Turki pay him that much? After all, he's got an endless amount of money at his disposal and Bud is his favorite fighter. I think it's reasonable to think that Turki would kick in an additional $75 million just because he can afford to and has a crush on Bud...

I just can’t see the greedy boxer , reported or not , making less money flying across the world to fight for the same amount they would get paid to do right here in their own backyard

And yes I know the Bud fight was in Cali

Yes , I do believe they get mucho dinero under the table and if it was legal I guess it would be reported
Just like lawyers know the verdict because most cases are solve in the hallway of courthouses

No bro, Turki just told Bud, "we'll only report $2.5 million to the State, but because you're my favorite fighter and I have endless amounts of money, I'm gonna pay you $100 million under the table, are you cool with that Bud?" to which Bud replied, "Awe Turki, that ain't necessary, I'll settle for $75 million under the table".

Are we in agreement that Turki actually paid Bud an extra $75 million under the table Smash? Is that number too low? Too high? Or just about right? What amount should we guess on? Keep in mind that Turki has a crush on Bud and no amount that Bud asks for will put a dent on Turki's Bank account. Let's get creative with the amount in the interest of generosity....

I can't argue that Bud didn't get paid under the table, because that's not reported income. I can only argue wha is available to both you and I via Public Record. No point in arguing over anyone else's opinion as everyone is entitled to their opinion.

It’s all good and being around boxing circles , I’ve seen much worse than under the table payments

too many post to keep track of, I'm just replying to post I quoted. Are we in agreement that because Turki has a crush on Bud and Turki has endless pockets, Bud was paid an additional $75 million under the table? If your answer is "yes", I'm glad we can agree....

so what exactly is public record? if there was an agreement to up buds pay v certain ppv numbers (which only he and turki would know details of) this info on ppv numbers and upside and all of that does not come in straight away in fact these figures can take weeks to months to finalise so any figure that is 'public record' will only be entered in to 'public record' well after the event and will not be known until well after the event
