I'm rooting for Hassan to box his ears off.

200k purse bid? So they're not getting paid jack is what you're saying lol

[aldo5408]

pretty sure thats the point hes getting at. hes not just questioning golden boy hes wondering how gbp got a billionaire not to bid and gbp knowing they could bid the absolute minimum. I think it absolutely seems scamish. GBP loves to talk about all the other promotions but honestly they are pretty dam shady

yea and it not like lemiux is getting the same amount, hes making over a million

He may very well suffer a last second injury if the money's not right. GB/Lemieux would then have a lot more to lose if N'Dam gets a stomach virus or sprained ankle.

Too late. Any injury at this date would result in extensive medical evidence being required to back it up. N'Dam better lose a finger in a car door or something if he wants to try that now. And if he was able to do so it would not cost GBP anything at all, they have insurance for such things. But if it ever came out that N'Dam was faking an injury, his career would be done and his bank account would be empty once the lawsuits were over with.

Getting food poisoning would be easy enough. Honestly I would think GB would want this fight delayed so they could move it on HBO for more money. As of right now, after N'Dam pays his team and taxes from his $51k, he'll have nothing left at all. Alot of guys spend more than that on a camp alone.

calm the fucc down if he wants to pull out he will.

He should have just taken the offer.

on a fight that they believed would clear, after all expenses are paid, $3m? lol.

Even if the proceeds are split 50/50 between promoters and fighters, N'Dam (the #1 challenger) would get $300k, Lemieux (the #7 challenger when the bid was coming together) would get $1.2m, and Golden Boy would take home $1.5m; if Golden Boy ended up sharing more of the upside with Lemieux, you could logically come to the conclusion that N'Dam would be making a sixth or seventh of the money in giving this lower-ranked guy the opportunity.

And then you factor in the 30% to his promoter, 30% to taxes, and other expenses, and N'Dam is basically taking the fight for free.

I hope ndam smacks Lemieux into submission

[ramplamp]

N'Dam was hard to watch against Curtis Stevens. I hope Lemieux wins because that foursome of him, Canelo, Cotto and GGG would be something really fun to watch play out. N'Dam is just boring.

[doninlouisiana]

I agree with Mustapha, this is shameful and a disgrace. They thought N'Dam would back out and just let Lemieux have the title, not so fast. I hope he shows how chinny Lemieux really is, and take's the belt home. He'll get paid right when he defends the next time out...
