Comments Thread For: N'Dam-Lemieux: Golden Boy Must Deliver Fight By 7/7

[JakeNDaBox]

In its best efforts to tidy up what has already been a messy situation, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) has issued a hard deadline for which its middleweight title must be filled.

Golden Boy Promotions was the only bidder present during Tuesday's purse bid hearing for the ordered vacant title fight between Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam and David Lemieux. The minimum acceptable bid of $102,000 was enough for Golden Boy to secure the rights to the fight.

“The purse bid split will be 50% to N'Dam and 50% to Lemieux. Golden Boy has 90 days or until July 7, 2015,” confirmed IBF spokesperson Jeanette Salazar, who also noted that a location has yet been secured for the forthcoming bout. [Click Here To Read More]

Damn, no1 wants anything to do with that fight. Crazy how far GBP has sunk.

This has nothing to do with Golden Boy. This is about N'Dam beefing with his promoter about money. He doesn't want the fight. That's why his promoter didn't bid on the fight because the fight wont happen their fighter already turned it down.

I don't see why not its a nice fight that could draw a crowd in Montreal and do decent numbers on hbo. That purse is so low they'd clean up.

Exactly. If anything, credit to Golden Boy for stepping in while everyone else before them has walked sideways from the opportunity. Golden Boy only got involved once the IBF made its way down to Lemieux.

Saunders, N'Dam, Sturm, Taylor - they're the ones to "thank" for all of this mess.

I don't know who N'dam thought he was for rejecting $300k. Now he has to fight for $40K or pass on a title shot, without any guarantee of getting another one anytime soon. Genius.

Just start a purse bid for Soliman/Lemieux already.
