Janibek vs sheeraz

They try to stick the drug cheat with Hamzah for $750k lol nasty work right there , no option but to drop belt ..

Hamzah is caught up in the battle with Queensbury and Turki , that's why QB only bid $1.1m for the fight and Hamzah confirmed no one made offers before the purse bids ..

Hamzah only had 1 fight left with QB and they know he not resigning so basically they left Hamzah cold in the for his toughest fight to date ..

 

Trust you to support this

No option but to drop the belt?

Well taking the fight and defending was an option so that's not true

Without Turki's money over paying him, tell me exactly what world do you think Hamza is drawing crowds to the point he is worth more than 750k?

 

Just because Sheeraz is a duck doesn't mean boxers are overpaid. The only time I would use the word “overpaid” to describe a boxer's pay is when it comes to Saudi cards that lose a huge chunk of money or any card that loses a substantial amount of money. But most big PPV cards make their money back, and it's the boxers we are paying to watch in the first place. We didn't pay to watch Al Haymon, Frank Warren, Bob Arum, or Eddie Hearn.

Boxers are also risking their lives and most of their careers, and most boxers fight for breadcrumbs and fishbones on the way up. If you're a fighter in a lighter weight class, you rarely get a "big" purse, even if you fight the top guys.

Also, ducking would still happen if every promoter somehow magically disappeared. For example, the UFC normally allows fighters to choose between multiple fight opponents, and there are plenty of UFC fighters who are built up by the company and given plenty of easy fights on the way up.

 

As for Sheeraz, he is clearly overpaid because the Saudis love him and pay him an absurd purse for the level of fighter, commercial appeal, and skills that Sheeraz has.

 

Point being his training camp alone costs a considerable amount due to the types of 7 figure paydays he is used with the ring shows.

And he still with gold star and Riyadh Season with Turki who Warren has a fractured relationship with.

Hamzah caught in the middle, when you get used them types of paydays then $750k for the toughest fight of his career doesn't seem enough.

They may cross paths when Hamzah with Zuffa or Matchroom and when he on a Turki show , unfortunately this is a result of Turki overpaying fighters they get used to that type of income and I don't blame Hamzah , who going to turn down that type of money .

 

Nobody is asking him to turn money down

In regards to his training camp costs, whilst I'm sure they mount up how did he manage it before captain casual rocked up with bags of money?

How do training camp costs rise because he earnt more previously?

Fighters need to at some point adjust expectations because the Saudi money is tightening up

I like Hamza but lost a fair bit of respect for him today

He has been a terrible world champion

 

Everyone knew that Sheeraz would not fight a live body. They are probably hoping that he can get a cash grab with Canelo. It will look better getting stopped by Canelo than it will against some no name guy in the top ten. And with a fighter as limited as Sheeraz, that is a distinct possibility.

 

He has about 5 people around him in camps lol he added a few to his team in recent camps

Tbh I'm disappointed too , the boxing fans in us wanted to see this fight and I understand your points.

I guess money does also matter , the only console for Hamzah fans is he has to fight someone decent next to raise his stock which definitely took a toll after all this.

The 168 division is full of good fighters , he needs a decent test next to redeem himself and prove himself to the boxing world..

 

Adding 5 people for what?

His recent displays have been terrible

Needs a refund

 

Lol S&C guy , Nutritionist, chef, Andy Lee trainer , Manager.

 

Money well spent...

 

I think he's planning to sign with ZUFFA, he has a good relationship with Turki.
