Yesterday @GaryShawBoxing won purse bid ($12,500) for @Tureano1984-O***39;Kane IBF 160 elim. Was only bidder. Split is 60-40 in O***39;Kane***39;s favor.
— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) July 29, 2015Essentially nobody bid on this fight. It's kind of odd because in Belfast O'Kane is a bit of an attraction, certainly more than the $12,500 Shaw bid on this fight. It's also odd that TJ has gone quiet on twitter, very unlike him.
Now I'm hearing rumors that Johnson is a free-agent and no longer with Shaw. That could explain why nobody really bid on this fight and that it's not going to happen. Shaw's probably using his winning bid to force TJ to resign with him and no way would TJ be willing to do that after Shaw's failed him so many times. Either way, I can't see O'Kane agreeing to fight for $7k.
