Comments Thread For: Tarver Wanted Big Money, Co-Feature Billing For Usyk Sparring

[goldenbear]

Nothing sadder than a broke former champion....:-(

I hope Tarver gets it together he's really fallen off. He's been suspended from boxing as well as kicked off Showtime for peds. Now he's asking for fight type money for sparring. He must really be in a bad place and obviously he's desperate. Hopefully he can turn it around.

Not sure why a young fighter would want to spar with an old, fat fart like Tarver anyway. He's waaayyyy past prime.

This is just one of the many consequences of his own actions. Its not unfortunate or bad luck. Its all on him.

Sad how these old champs fall by the waist side like this

With Tarver's situation he needs $50 to answer his front door I bet. Guy got his 2007 GEO Tracker taken over child support last I heard. This mfer gotta get a ride or walk to sparring now.

A proven & crafty vet with bills to pay is the perfect sparring partner whatcha talking bout Willis? Hell just the stuff you can probably gain in knowledge from bsing with a guy with Tarver's experience would be good for Usyk to hear & worth his employment.

Usyk needs to spar Mosley, p4p #1 sparring partner, stop running Usyk.

I was going to say that he's only making cash grabs because he's running out of heartbeat.

Then I realized, he's effectively been a corpse for the last 7 or 8 years anyway.

I feel like a strong wind might actually knock him out.

Wow Usyk has guys wanting PPV type paydays just for a couple sparring sessions. Wtf. He really is the cruiserweight "Boogeyman"

What is too much money?
What would be considered reasonable ?
What is Tarver's side of the story?

Or should we just accept this story as gospel?
