    Why Kirkland pulled out of Rosado fight (article)

    The mercurial super welterweight was supposed to fight Gabe Rosado in an interesting fight on Nov. 8 on HBO in Atlantic City, but he was upset by the amount his promoter is taking from his purse.

    Not even surprising to be honest. Kirkland has single-handedly destroyed his career at every step of the way. He turned down a Canelo fight not once but twice, as well as a career high payday against Rosado.

      Thx for the info. Kirkland has serious issues trusting people and it's hurting his career once again. With this and the other tweet you posted about him not even being in the running for Canelo, he is basically back where he started?

        What a disappointment; truly.

        Can't believe Kirkland backed out.

        Hope the Canelo fight happens.

          He already turned down that fight.

              Good article...

              Coming from kirkland's own lawyer I assume it to be true..

              Had Kirkland not gone to jail and just stayed with golden boy, he would have made so much cash by fighting angulo 2, canelo, maybe Paul Williams, rosado, quillen, ggg, etc...

              Kirkland is one of the rare guys that you can match with anyone and it will be an exciting fight. He is must see tv, and could have made millions being this generations action fighter..
