Peter Quillin interview about his WBO belt

[Eastcoast]

Quillin doesn't deserve to be a champ. I hope Jacobs Ko's him.

Quillin gets to keep his '0'. Rewatch his fight with Konecny and imagine if Konecny had two good eyes, a punch, and was the same size as Pete. Korobov can fight and would've gave Quillin either an 'L' or a very tough fight like Rosado. Danny Jacobs is not a tougher fight for Quillin, much easier. Danny's shown he can be put down and kept down. He doesn't have the same tools and mental fortitude that Korobov has.

Otherwise WTF kind of businessman turns down a fight where they pass up more than 3x their career high payday, their title belt, and a chance to fight in front of a crowd that be rooting for them, on national tv, against a guy they strongly believed they would've beat...

Has anyone ever left Haymon? Can anyone leave Haymon?

We've seen some details of his contracts which effectively say he has total control over the signees career, but I've never seen any details over how long the contracts last.

Are we talking in perpetuity here? That would be a genuine devils contract - specially for a guy like Quillin who appears to have just been bent over.

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:

Not that you guys care, but we***39;re currently in the works on an event that***39;d dwarf @RocNation***39;s offer***10;@DanielJacobsTKO @KIDCHOCOLATE ***10;#boxing

Had a good laugh when I seen this. Danny retweeted the fake Stephen Espin0za account. Some guy made a Espinoza paradody account to mock Espinoza's garbage. Danny just got made a fool (twice if you count him giving his interm belt to Quillin for equal money).

Only person I know was Andre Dirrell and that was when his value hit rock bottom.

With Quillin, this was his last fight under GB. If he would've beaten Korobov, Roc Nation would've likely signed him and pumped a ton of money into building his brand, where Haymon simply gets him Showtime fights against no-hopers. It'll be interesting to see if Quillin were to lose his next and never make the pay day he just turned down, if he seeks financial damages against Haymon for bad advice.

I think Thurman will leave... dude wants the big fights and not the money

Man, I have heard people say boxing is a business (BIAB) before, but does anyone say it as much as this guy? It's like hes an actor in a play or something, not a part of a sport. He is disingenuous with the fans here. My interpretation of the "boxing is a business crap" is unless he gets ridiculously and undeservedly overpaid, he should not take any risk whatsoever. Sick of his entitled mentality, what has he really achieved? He was set to get overpaid for Korborov and he still said no. As much as I want the G man to annihilate him, it would be even sweeter if one of his "business" opponents KO's him.

STOP PASSING OFF YOUR GED AS A PHD.

LOL. More and more farcical by the hour.

Can either of them explain why Quailing wouldn't fight Korobov first? They coulda had the NYC showdown anyway, except there was a decent chance of there being a real title on the line if Quailin' had fought Korobov.

We're still trying to figure out the business here

Quillin is a moron and would not know common sense if it slapped him across the face.

Is a biznas doe.
