    Ive walked to the ring before and thought id rather not do this. Bit late though. No way i could ever turn back. Strange as it sounds that does take balls.

    I also remember at at face off before you start my guy was frothin at the mouth. All i could think was why is this guy so upset lol

    Yeah, this is old news, there's already been like 3 threads on this that popped up after we covered it in the RBR live.

    That's what Wilder would do in a fight with Body Snatcher Whyte if the WBC was taking Haymon brown envelopes to freeze him out.

    Or just bin his paper title. Either way Wilder don't want fisticuffs with Whyte

    A fully fit David Haye would have knocked him out before he had a chance to leave the ring.

    I think it had something to do with his pay, boxing is a tough business an he may have decided the beating he anticipated was not worth the agreed amount

    Yep it was about the purse for sure, he's an experienced journeymen so is used to taking a beating, been in with the ring some really big dudes like Zhang and Washington he wasn't scared he was pissed off at having his purse cut at the last minute. They knew they weren't paying him what they agreed pay before they told him, they told him at the last minute so he couldn't walk away, well that back fired lol.

    Anyone fighting for PBC now will want the money in advance if they keep pulling this **** on their cards.

    Is this confirmed to be a protest?
    I back this guy up if that is the case. Nice one.

    For real? The actually cut his pay by 3 quarters right before he entered the ring? Well **** I don't blame him then, what the **** PBC how the **** you gonna cut the peanuts you're already paying a journeyman before the fight (well at all really) What they can't afford to pay these guys?

    IF PBC did cut 75% of his pay then fair play. In any other sport/job, everyone would do this... especially when you're about to get smacked in the face for how ever many minutes.
