he asked for 10 mill to fight spence
Yep...priced himself wayyyyyyyyyyyyy out to avoid that fight. And amazingly, he tricked enough people to actually believe Spence didn't deserve the fight, but yet all the other opponents Thurman faced did

spence needs to work his way up... on porter, im sure its a money problem... im sure it gets resolved.If only Thurman had the same confidence as his stans...we would've seen him in the ring with both Spence & Porter in the same year

Heavyweight Andy Ruiz improved to 26-0 (17 KO's) by pounding out an eight round decision over veteran journeyman Raphael Zumbrano on Saturday night the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. He looked much sharper than he did on September 26th when he out-pointed Joell Godfrey, in what was his first fight in over nine months.
"I thought he fought a real tough guy in a sense that the guy was like a rock, he took everything," said promoter Bob Arum of Ruiz's performance.
"And the thing that I loved about Andy was his punch rate and the fact it kept up for all eight rounds."
And Top Rank plans on keeping the 26-year old active. He is already scheduled for the December 5th card in Fresno, California, which is headlined by 2012 U.S. Olympian, Jose Ramirez on UniMas. Ruiz, who fought as high as 272 pound last year, has lost a significant amount of weight recently. This past weekend he weighed in at 248.75 pounds.
"What we had to do, as you saw, we did a hurry-up job on him in the latter part of the year once he took the weight off and was back on track and you see we have him fighting every month," said Arum.
looks like ill be going to my first boxing event
, its literally going to be walking distance from my house.

I mean where do the lies end for cinabum
SOG wants GGG at the full 168 limit...GGG says 164 or no fight
GGG wants Cotto/Canelo winner at full 160 limit...Cotto/Canelo winner says 155 or fight
Sounds fair to me

Now when me and @patscorpio used to complain about Haymon over paying nikkas (especially against bums), cats said I was a cac or hated seeing brothers get paid and blah blah blah etc...
*Fast forwards into the future several months later*
That same practice is holding up significant fights from being made.
Anyways.....
On behalf of the #Thurminators, we reserve the right to hold out for more money when we gotta fight against rough and tumble Hatton school of boxing ass nikkas that can headbutt/foul you and potentially make you take off extra time away from the ring.
Yeah because before Haymon fights weren't held up because fighters wanted more money or a bigger split
What grounds to these flabby media nikkas have to say a fighter is getting overpaid?
Because Arum(who takes damn near double of what Haymon does from his fighters) says so?
Money issues preventing fights happened before Haymon and it will happen after. Dudes seem to conveniently forget that every time a nikka steps into the ring it could be his last. They deserve every "overpaid" penny they get word to Prichard Colon.
