Trinidad Offers 50/50 split at 160 to Oscar

[raymon123]

This has nothing to do with divorces or anything, but whatever. If the contract stated that the winner would get the bigger purse in a rematch, well that's how it should have been or something similar. Frankly, I don't give a **** who wins what and no one should unless you live with Trinidad or DLH and will earn money for it. If they really want to settle their business, find a way and fight so we don't have any bitching and moaning from them or fans.

And by the way the first fight was 7 damn years ago so that means the contract or whatever is already dead lol. You need to stop with that contract crap. Its old news.

Look bad? lol i'm sick of the liars keep saying they are a fan of a fighter and already they dissing their heros. Look nucklehead, oscar is a bigger star, bigger draw then tito. Oscar way before tito retired the first time has call out tito but tito being a greedy guy wanted 60/40 back in 1999 and 2000 in his favor now tell me that makes sense, tito should get 60/40 in his favor back in 1999/2000 even though oscar is a way bigger draw then tito? did you know that was tito first ever main event ppv vs delahoya? ohhhhhhhh and now back then tito should get 60/40 in his favor for the rematch? lol that's like saying buster dougles should get 60/40 in his favor vs tyson in the rematch. Thats like saying rahman should have got 60/40 in his favor vs lewis in the rematch. The bottomline is this, oscar is a freaking bigger draw then tito. Oscar gets the most money. Oscar is a damn bigger star. Look at the ppv number between each of tito fights and oscar fights and you will see i'm right.

Being a Fan and being ****** or ignorant are two different things. You don't have to agree with everything the fighter that you are a fan of, that would be a ****** fan, not me. BTW beign a fan does not make anyone my Hero, that is just a ****** statement.

The nuckelhead comment you can put it where the sun don't shine buddy, if you can't defend a point of view without smart remarcs then keep you mouth shut.

Now with that said, no one is saying that Tito is a bigger draw. Not now, not ever.

Now on the 60/40 split. If that was such a big deal for Oscar then, why did he sign the first contract that if I am not mistaken (and if I am then we can always chage it to Tito getting the official W for the fight)where this was written in black and white for the rematch? You see, here is your problem number 1. Now Tito is retired and Oscar starts calling him out, why? He knows what the re-match says, therefore if he is calling out a fighter that has a re-match paperwork with him that has been in place for 9 years or whatever, why would he think that it would be ok to change that to a 70/30? Because he is the bigger name? Then the small name should be calling him, not the other way around.

Now the problem is Oscar made a bluff (he never wanted this fight), and got called out on it. Can you understand this? When this happens, people need to save face, just like he is trying to do. He get's another problem when Tito changes his position of 60/40 that the re-match says and goes for a 50/50. This puts Oscar in a look bad situation because he was called on his bluff and then Tito changes his purse from a favorable purse for him in the original contract to an even one.

You might be right on this, but what makes you think that Tito would fight for less? This is something that Oscar knows, his reason for the fight to never happen in the past. Explain please.

I don't care about how old the contract is and I care less about the money issue. What sucks is the tug o war crap that gets nowhere. They argue as if they were poor, especially DLH. Just come to an agreement and make the fight or forget it.

[Abe Attell]

The "Tug of War" is the business side to boxing, that's the way it has always been...it goes on in all business, boxing is no different

[Del Coqui]

It said that in the contract?

I do remember hearing that the reason for the rematch not taking place right away was because Tito wanted the bigger share of the pot, but I thought it was an ego thing.

Even still, this is business, Oscar is the one that generates the most money.


Let me give you another example: Say your in the band "The Police"...your name is "Sting"...you are the creative one in the band, you are the reason why people come see "The Police"...are you happy that you have to split the pot equally amongst your band members knowing full well that everybody is coming to see you, not the rest?

Guys, big fan of both fighters here, but being the biggest draw doesn't mean you necessarily should get the bigger split! I mean, if people like to watch you fight, they'll watch you regardless of what percentage of the purse you're taking home,right? You think fans watch DLH because they give a **** how much he's making in the fight? Is Oscar helping fans with their bills? NO. Whether Tito won the first fight in '99 is getting old, judges thought so and that's all that matters. If Oscar wants Trinidad to come out of retirement, he's got to put up with Tito's demands. Does he really want to redeem himself or is he ****ing with PBF's head? Papa Trinidad agreed to go down to 50/50, still Oscar doesn't want to redeem himself, why keep calling Tito out then? PBF's no fool, he's seeing everything that's going on and probably laughing at Oscar for trying to **** with him. Let Tito enjoy his retirement and fight a blown up PBF, OR agree to Tito's terms and make the ****ing fight already.

I agree with you man. I have typed it several times. It's ridiculous how some fans start screaming because DLH should get the bigger purse. Sure, as if DLH or any other boxer will even give you $20 so you can have a couple of beers the night of the fight.

[elhijoprodigo]

Wouldn't it be fair to say that DLh initiated all this by calling out Tito? The guy is resting in PR and here comes big mouth DLH calling him out. 50/50 is as even as it should get. If tito called out DlH I would agree on Tito getting the smaller ourse, if anything Tito should get 60/40 as he hasn't been in the ring as of lately and has more to lose. DLH is just afraid, always been and always will be

You wouldn't be saying that if you were the guy drawing the most business.

I am in favor of Oscar because like it or not, he keeps boxing in the news...even though the true power is in the fan, the fan has chosen Oscar.

This is the Boxing BUSINESS...why not have all fighters fight 50/50

Imagine if Nike said to Reebok, "Who cares about who sells the most sneakers, lets share the profits 50/50"

I'm all for the 60/40
