Someone from bulgaria commented.

He was already being paid by his federation like most eastern blocc (no lynch) countries. The thing is, he would have gotten a potential work visa/housing etc, the thing is, the reason why he said no also is on top of being paid, he didint know them. I can sort of relate to that. When I was 7, I didint speak a word of english other than a few phrases, I was largely insultated, if i didint know you, I didint fukk with you.

Also, eastern blocc (no siccness) countries olympic federations are extremely corrupt, there might be other details hes leaving out. Look at what happened when turkey offered 1milli to fight for them, the leader of his olympic committee wanted 300k last second for him and fukked up his money.

Its sort of like a record deal, if birdman is currently paying you in jewlry, bands and all that other shyt and youre young thug, the last thing on your mind is royalties, publishing and a career NOT being on top. While he was being paid well in Bulgaria, he wasnt thinking "im 27 i need to think about the pros" he was thinking about how he had more olympic runs left in him and how he was already gettin money otherwise. Imagine if Pras approached young thug to invest in his private equity firm hes running he might not see the return immediately but hell eventually be rich, young thug would ....probably be upset he wasnt being paid in lean and bounce.

Similar to Hasim Rachman after he knocked out lennox, he was gonna be paid outregaously but these other promoters i forgot who, but don king showed up with like 200k in a duffel bag and he said fukk iit (it may not have been 200k but something to that nature)

Edit: I found it, damn i feel old, i remember watching this shortly after my 18th birthday

Notes on a Mole Card. Item: Death of a deal - As A&E's two-hour documentary "Boxing: In and Out of the Ring," which debuts tonight (9 p.

m.), unfolds, a boxing fan may yawn and say, "I've seen this all before.

" When it comes to boxing, storylines of corruption, fighters being used and abused, are nothing new. So, viewers initially get a set-up leaning heavily on a historical perspective of the sport. The wake-up call comes when producers Ric Esther Bienstock, Lynn Glazier and David Wright drop the dramatic hammer, taking viewers into the world of Cedric Kushner, the promoter who represented heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. After 16 years in the business, Kushner thought he hit the motherload when Rahman upset Lennox Lewis to win the title. The documentary follows Kushner from his seat at the Lewis-Rahman fight to his office, where he begins negotiating a multi-million dollar deal for Rahman. The promoter works the phones, going back and forth between HBO and Showtime, who are bidding for Rahman's first title defense and a multi-fight contract. The A&E crew had total access to Kushner. He explains his negotiating strategy. Kushner's emotions build as he gets closer to completing a deal with HBO to present to Rahman, managed by Kushner's then-friend Stan Hoffman. The A&E cameras follow Kushner and Hoffman taking their daily walk in Central Park. Hoffman is shown going over Rahman's contract in Kushner's office. All that is needed is Rahman's signature. Hoffman leaves with the contract to present to the fighter. The cameras roll as Kushner is left waiting for a telephone call from Hoffman to see if Rahman approved the deal. The call never comes. Kushner finds out Don King has convinced Rahman to sign with him. Sitting in a coffee shop, Kushner is told King delivered a bag to Rahman containing $500,000 in $100 bills. "You give a half-million in cash to someone who has never earned a half-million," Kushner says. "Let's simply say you might make an impression on him.

he was gonna be one of the highest paid boxers in history

Floyd Mayweather - Serafim Todorov 1996 Olympic Games Semifinal




That's the best display of pure boxing skills I have ever seen from a 19 year old. Floyd whooped dude really really bad. He was outta breath and was losing balance. Floyd was effectively landing every pull counter. :wow:

You can hate the man but to say he's not at least top 5 "purest" boxers ever is purer hate. :wow:

Todorov was also 28 and fighting pros and he received a boxing lesson. :wow:
