    Are you people Thurman's personal accountants?

    Thurman is making good money with Haymon/GBP. And he has said before money is not that important to him, he's a fighter, not a businessmen.

    What have RocNation done in boxing? How does Thurman know they won't do to him what 50cent does to his fighters?

    Most of the big names at 147 are with Haymon/GBP, if he signs with RocNation who the hell would he fight?

      Who's he fighting right now? Even Thurman is pissed off about his current situation.

      And before you say Bundu is a name and call me a ****** casual, how does he stack up to every other named WW Haymon has that isn't fighting Thurman?

        He's said he expects 2015 to be a big year for him. He's thinking long-term, sooner or later fighters in the top 10 will have to step up and fight him.

          He turned it down which means he knows or feels something we dont. I deal with contracts everyday and not all that are lucrative are good.

          I for one wont assume i know the details of all contracts offered or everything that goes on in boxing. Im just gonna sit back and wait.

          Im out again.

            Who said he's pissed off? He already made it clear that he's happy with the way Haymon is steering his career. Meaning, he's just like any Haymon fighter who gave up control over the direction of their careers. He's fighting Bundu next, he's not complaining and he's happy. Alexander would have been a step up fight for him. He didn't do anything to push it.

            And before you say Bundu is a name and call me a ****** casual, how does he stack up to every other named WW Haymon has that isn't fighting Thurman?
            Bundu is tailor made for Thurman.

                  He turned down a promotional deal, that's the one time(no pun intended) he should be making business decisions. Let's not act like he's pulling a Quillin, yet.

                      Sensible post. It's easy for everyone on the outside to critise or judge when they don't know what the actual facts are.
