Don***8217;t think I***8217;m an idiot. That probably would have been the most that I***8217;ve gotten for a fight but no amount of money can make me sell myself and what***8217;s inside of me. I know that $1.4 million is a lot of money and it***8217;s not like I***8217;m just walking out with $1.4 million,***8221; said Quillin, during an interview with ******.com over the weekend.

The fuck does that even mean?

“Al Haymon is one of the smartest men in boxing. I know that when a person builds up a fan base like I have, you have a certain responsibility to get out a message to your fans. But I also have to be a businessman. I was really excited about the Korobov fight and in my opinion, I can beat that man. But the guy that’s behind the scenes is going to advise what’s best for me,” said Quillin.

“That scenario is based on a fight-by-fight basis. I’m trying to make sure that I stay focused, stick to the game plan and make sure that my eye is on the prize at all times. This is a business. I have to conduct myself that way. That championship belt might be everything to some people and I was blessed to have it. But there are more other champions out there and there is a bigger picture. A lot of people might never understand that.”

Dear god what a ****

[daggum]

build up a fan base like he has? he's only fought on undercards lol. dumbass talking about being a businessman. businessman turns down record payday! you and haymon were scared so you turned the fight down. you are making less and surviving to fight another day, that's your business.

“People with college degrees don’t make the money I make. I have a Corvette, a Range Rover, a Mustang that I’m trying to sell right now. I own those cars. But really, that’s just part of the story,” said Quillin, whose wife, Allison Beth Quillin gave birth to their son, Joaquin Enriquez Quillin last month.

“My family is taken care of. I have to put money away for my little kid, so I have to figure out what the best formula is for me to do that for him. I don’t want to end up like the majority of boxers and make a lot of money and then be broke after their careers are over.”

What's the percentage of athletes going bankrupt?

If you're saying you wouldn't have taken home much of the 1.4 anyway... I'd hate to see how much you've been taking home normally from your twice a year fights

Saw broke on ESPN 30/30

He doesn't seem to be spending as bad as them, but he's not making as much as them.

Still, he tries to act a little too flashy with what he's making

Was talking with Griesman... even though it seems like Jacobs/Quillin is next, it was Oscar who said that, and we all know Oscar doesn't have final say with these guys

Big things ahead!

Makes me think that, but he also retweeted this:

ok so this is all it is about


Quillin also defended his manager, Al Haymon, in the wake of a decision that prevents the boxer from fighting under the banner of Roc Nation, which is owned by Shawn Carter AKA Jay-Z.

Jay-Z is married to music diva Beyonce, who was once promoted by Haymon and has been in involved in legal battles with the man who may be the most powerful figure in boxing
