So, Walters was offered $500k to fight Loma (career high is about $350k).
Loma was vacating his WBO Featherweight Championship, and jumping up to the full Super Featherweight limit (130lbs) to face Walters there.
$500k to face Loma is fair being that Walters is not a Champion, is not facing Loma at 126 OR at a catchweight, and is a lesser draw. Loma got $631k to face Gary Russell Jr (who got $421k himself) and is a Champion + the A-side of the matchup.
Walters asking for more money is
What if that 500k ain't just 500k tho
What if told you that 500k includes a multiyear extension
Would you re-sign and give 20% to the same people who tried to rob you in your last fight
Eubanks had his fukked up experience with Watson
Sr. wasn't tryna save Blackwell, he just knew Blackwell wouldn't go down without working the body
Shame too cause at the last presser Eubank Sr told Blackwell
That the talent gap had him worried for his safety and he also pleaded
With the ref not to let him take too much punishment.
Played out exactly as he feared it would
