    Was Curtis Harper's purse cut 80% hours before fight?

    I just watched that clip where Harper left the ring before he was supposed to fight Ajagba.

    Some of the comments were saying his purse was cut 80% just hours before the fight??

    How can the promotion or whoever be allowed to do that?

    If that's the case then that's awesome Harper gave them such a huge middle finger like he did, but a shame they are able to bully a fighter like that too.

      Do you know if that 80% is right, though?
      If that's the case, there should be more rage at his promoter or whoever for screwing over their fighter.

        If this is true then walking out of the ring is kind of awesome.

          Nate Campbell (Harper's trainer) on facebook, said that's bs and not true

              I though PBC did not screw their fighters. That Schaffer the promoter for this fight. Was going to take over boxing with Mayweather.

                Sounds like BS. I don't know of any kind of financial agreement that can be changed, after the fact, without consent from both parties.

                  If they really cut his purse by 80% they might as well call some reliable bum who will fight for peanuts, I was told Joey Abell will fight for a keg of beer

                    Yeah there would have had to be some sketchy language in the contract about how his purse is based on some percentage to be determined on the day of the fight or something ridiculous.
