[Breaking News]GBP in DEEP ****..

[War Dinamita]

Better for the fighters to know up front that Arum is pulling 27% of their purse off the top than fighters NOT knowing that nearly 65% of the money they were both entitled too is "unaccounted" for...you decide

A fighter should never give a promoter 27% of his money especially when he's a star and doesn't need a promoter like Arum.

65% of my purse money would've never been "unaccounted" for because I would've handled my business before I even step in the ring and I would've made sure I got the money I deserve. Blame the fighters for not handling their **** and knowing the business. Do you see promoters take advantage of the vets boxers who have been in business for a long time? People take advantage of boxers who don't know **** about the business.

Why didn't they make a big deal about this a few weeks ago? You're telling me the boxers, the trainers, the managers, etc. didn't know about GBP's deal with HBO for the fight purse?

No, they weren't told that. They were told they were getting what they were paid but the accountants put down in the books that they paid the fighters 700,000 dollars and pocketed the other 500K. The fighters got paid what they were supposed to but for accounting purposes GBP said they paid the fighters a whole lot more when the did not do so

Because they were never told what HBO was paying them. That was kept from them. Then according to the NYSC, Golden Boy told them that their purses were 125,000 and 100,000, instead of splitting the 750,000 that was offered and given.

Unbelievable. Always hated the fact that JMM signed with those pricks. Now I wonder how much he got out of the Mayweather fight after all. Cuz' they sure as hell weren't looking out for him in that match.

It was Hauser. Rafael wouldn't dare take his bosses to task like that.

HA!!!!!

A: that doesn't make it right.

B: this story came out a few weeks ago, but it was in the speculative phase. Now it seems more facts are coming out.

Try searching the archives at secondsout.com, might still be there.

You're funny. GBP had like 3 robberies last year to in favor to their fighters and now this.

GBP paid the judges like Arum?

[Scott9945]

really? What and other promoters didnt? Its all the same bro just like any other sport

Then go make a case against another promoter (besides Don King). You can't excuse cheating fighters out of money by saying that everyone is doing it.

Fighters need to be more involved with the contracts.
