Oh good. That gives time for Montiel to rematch Hasegawa in December.

80/20 split is a bit unfair IMO.

as long as hasegawa wants to go to mexico,because after fight montiel said he would give hasewaga rematch,but now it would be where montiel wanted it,in mexico...so it's up to hasegawa if he wants it

Hasegawa would be down for that I think. He was in talks with Arce to fight there.

lets see if morel wants the 20%...have a feeling he won't,considering montiel is the better fighter,unified champ,he should accept,he got 60k for an old penalosa

then he should have no problem going over there

Yeah hopefully it happens. Hasegawa fought a decent fight against Montiel, but just got caught every now and then.

What Bantamweight really needs is a super six:

-Moreno (If he beats Cermeno again)
-Hasegawa
-Montiel
-Donaire
-Mares
-Perez (if he beats Agabeko again)

They all don't make ****, so it should be easy to do since the paydays would be their best

i use 2 be a fan of morel until he got locked up 4 ****ing that drunk 15 yr old girl. after that i never really cared much 2 follow his fights. putting that aside, montiel-morel should be a pretty good fight.

How about another 15% taken away from Morel and given to Montiel because Morel is a pedophile.
