Goddammit these promoter wars are ridiculous, seems like he took the fight for exposure, knew what he was getting into, and of course he should be payed more now that he is a decent name at 175.

If they didn't want him to be on and it was their card, then she didn't have to pay him 1 dollar.
He essentially got to advertise himself on her show because he wanted it.

It's like big name movie stars taking pay cuts or even the famous $1 payment for movies, especially indies and then taking a cut of the box office.

So not a pro with 18 fights a bunch of ko's and a growing fan base.
All Fonfara is saying was they were wrong about him and times have changed and if the now want him pay him.
I am not sure how much gas money from Chicago to NYC would be. But the flight would be a couple of hundred bucks for sure.

Duva didn't want him then, but if she does now, he should be compensated, that's really all he is saying and I think it's great.
It's like a fvkk u u were wrong about me type of note.
Fonfara is a good dude and he never acts like a diva or makes silly demands.
He just goes to work and does the best he can.
WAR FONFARA!!!Last edited by Weebler I; 08-17-2015, 03:15 PM.

So what you do is a $1 contract (in FL the commission wanted $10 as the lowest). That way you cant get screwed out of the money. And since the commission requires the promoter to pay according to the contract, Main Events had to cut $1 check, as silly as that is.....Last edited by OnePunch; 08-17-2015, 03:22 PM.

What happens is that a manager or promoter wants to get a guy on your card, and offers to pay the purses involved. You still are required to have a signed contract to submit to the commission, but you cant take the risk that you execute a full purse contract, which you are now liable for, and then the other manager/promoter stiffs you.
