Thurman Turns Down $6 Million Dollars Deals With Roc Nation

[BOXEO _]

Tought situations for both Wilder and Thurman but both guys should have known what they were getting into signing a deal with Haymon.

Exactly, they should have never made a deal with the devil.

[IMDAZED]

The Haymon reluctance seems to be related to signing long term agreements with HBO. Dan Rafael said "a" fight though. As in one fight, unless there's more to it and Rafael didn't get the full details. Otherwise, don't see why Haymon wouldn't want more dates on a high profile network.

Because he's saving them for something else.

Al Haymon ruining guys

Where can I find that shirt that Hopkins is wearing? I need that

Can anyone verify this? I remember reading somewhere that Jay-Z and Haymon have some long-standing beef over a business dispute Beyonce and Al had back when Al was still in the music industry.

If it's true, looks like Al's personal conflicts are costing his fighters serious money. Can't think of another reason why a guy like Thurman would turn down $6 million and a chance to be featured on HBO.

.....WTF.... this dude has been mouthing off about his displeasure with haymon for a while... then does this? Looks like the Roc nation/Haymon beef will intensify

[mathed]

How does he know Roc Nation will give him a successful career?

Thurman agrees with me.

He hasn't seen Roc nation make guys money but he just turned down like $10 million dollars from them....uh, yeah OK Thurman. Fight Bundu or whatever his name is and then go back to the shelf for another 2 years.

How does he know Roc Nation will give him a successful career?

Thurman agrees with me.

Jay-Z would be bound by contract to pay Thurman accordingly. 6-mil is like six dollars to Jay-Z, even if the company tanked, Jay could pay Thurman that. Easy money.

[DoktorSleepless]

Thurman says he's making a seven figure purse in this next fight though. And against a nobody. HBO would probably want him to fight someone legit for around the same money. I wonder if Showtime is paying the full purse, or if Haymon is subsiding purses again out of pocket.

Al Haymon ruining guys

But they get paid tho, how are they gonna feed their families with a mere 6 mil? Cmon get real

The ol' Haymon - Roc Nation beef. Haymon is a poison, but he isn't the only one in boxing. As far as RN, I'd like to see what they can do if given the chance with some big names.
