I think it's more of a business move, being this is their first time getting into boxing.

I'm surprised others don't occasionally snag purse bids more often.

This is what I was thinking.

Do u really believe they will get that type $$$??? It won't happen regardless of the bid...

That's how purse bids work. Quillin is going to get a nice payday.

Roc nation is sponsored by the Illuminati and for those who don't know the Illuminati are worshippers of Satan the deciever. So let that all sink in while you're there pretending this is a good thing because guess what IT'S NOT.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Amen.

Haven't you said in the past that Al Haymon is Illuminati as well?

I agree and said same in other threads on this topic.

You guys are spot on. They were simply dead set on hosting a high level boxing event in 2014. My guess is they didn't want to let a world title fight slip through their fingers so they overpaid to ensure the win.

Don't forget that Jay-Z's wife Beyonce sued Al Haymon because he tried to steal money from her when he was in the entertainment and concert business so i don't think they're aligned.

Now Roc Nation has to look for a big fight to put this fight in the undercard.

[Eastcoast]

As promoters, Roc Nation will be looking to sign fighters, many of which are going to be signed with Al Haymon as their advisor. Will Jay Z be stepping on Haymon's feet or are they going to get along?

I believe the split is 75/25 in favor of the champion.

75% of 1,900,480 is a $1,425,360 purse for Quillin.

I know he's not said to get on with him but this bid just feels like it has Haymon's fingerprints all over it.

I don't think GBP and Top Rank were going to bid much for this fight. Quillin just secured a huge payday for a title fight he'll probably lose, it just screams Haymon.
