    WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux has returned fire, responding to a series of statements that were recently made by his current manager Gary Hyde. Rigondeaux was not the only party to respond, as his co-promoter, Caribe Promotions, also had something to say in response to Hyde's statements. A few days ago, Rigondeaux (15-0, 10KO) made it known that his contract with Hyde was set expire in September and he also rejected Hyde's plan to have the Cuban boxer travel over to the UK to publicly challenge Scott Quigg. The Olympic two-time gold medal winner is looking forward to what he believes to be a new dawn in his career, but is not revealing any information regarding what changes are going to take place. Hyde responded after reading his statements with a very long outline of their relationship from start to finish.

      Thanks.

      If i'm reading correctly, Warren offered $1.8million for every fight in a 3 fight deal plus $700k in each fight in second year of deal?

      Also how does the 3 x $700k in second year work, does he have to fight 3 times the second year, or does he just get an additional $700k for any fight in the second year?

      Top Rank offered $1.8 million for a total of 3 fights? Or each fight?

          His existing T/R deal was $1.8 over 3 fights. He got $750K for Donaire and the rest was split with Agbeko and Sod.

          Frank Warren offered $1.8M for first year of the contract so $600K x 3 fights.

          The second year he would get $700K per fight so it could reach $2.1M if he fought 3 times.

          Haymon had a deal in place too but he probably walked away because of Caribe's involvement.

            I been saying it was Rigo and his team that have screwed up his career. This guy walks around Miami acting like he is hot ****, he doesn't seem to take his career serious. At his age he should have had over 25 fights by now.

              That does seem more weird rather than anything else. That a guy would turn down $1.8 mill for each fight. Then again, maybe Rigondeaux was thinking about taxes, promoter percentage, manager percentage, trainer/corners cut and Caribe percentage and the total was not pleasant? I mean I think with everything he gives up, everyone's cut, I don't know what he pays everyone, but I imagine taxes and caribe alone is already 50%, then promoter, manager, corner, that has to be something like promoter 27%, manager 10-15%, corner IDK? That leaves Rigondeaux with.....Almost 10% of his net pay???

              Someone correct my math?

                Okay so not for each fight, just $1.8mill overall.

                That still leaves the question...Caribe takes 20% of $1.8million right away. So that's $360k. So that leaves 1.4mill divided by 3 fights, $480,000 per fight, minus taxes, promoter fees, manager fees, corner fees, snctioning fees. That leaves Rigondeaux with....just above $100k per fight?

                I am tired, my math could be off, I worked from 8AM to 9PM yesterday two shifts, then this morning took a math exam, so someone aide me in this math ****. I'm disoriented.

                  Thing about boxers today is that they are too greedy and almost don't want to share their earnings with their managers and promoters, when they hired them in the first place. Result is catastrophic inactivity which translates to zero earnings.

                  Look at that clown Mikey Garcia, as an example. There was also Gamboa...and many others.

                    Even worse. $1.8M for 3 fights. So $600K per. Then he would up it to $700K during the second year of the contract. Caribe takes 20% .

                    He's getting heavily screwed. $600K less 20% to Caribe leaves him with $480K. Then you figure the co-promoter will take 20% which is standard leaving him with $360K before taxes. Take that away and he has about $200K and change for him, his managers and his trainers.

                      Caribe ****s all his **** up. If they didn't have a claim on him things would be very different.
