What typically happens is outfits like Dade would do what is called a "provision of services" agreement between them and the event promoter, where they agree to provide the services of their fighter for a set fee, and then they offer their fighter a lower amount for the purse.
Boxing is so effed up with the excessive power promoters have over their contracted boxer(s).

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostSo the manager apparently mentioned Dade Promotions in the interview. Why would Ortiz have them negotiating on his behalf anyways? Let them collect their percentage fee and have others deal with this.
The man has a manager, advisor AND a promoter? For what?
Promoter has to sign off/okay it. And like OnePunch is saying thats why Ortiz & his manager didn't even know the REAL offer that was more than $5M & like Eddie was claiming.
Promoter takes his cut off the top & tells the fighter how much is left basically lol.
This is why Algeri was gone for awhile cuz his promoter was f#cking him & taking like 50% (iirc) off the top.
Apparently the promoter has to disclose the full offer within 24hrs(?) of the fight or something like that due to the MAA.

Listening to Ortiz's manager being interviewed . It sounds as if the promoter was trying to hold out for more cash or he just didn't intend to make the fight for one reason or another .
Sounded like Ortiz's and his manager were pretty pissed off at him and they genuinely wanted the fight .
