you suggest you know 'the inner workins' (sic) of boxing, yet you cant answer my questions as to how they can make a dive payable!!
How difficult is it to give someone some money, it gets done all the time mate, come out from under your rock, naturally they arent going to write it into the fight contract
ohhh. so they offer money. ****in amazing. id never have thought of that. what are the guarantees for both sides.....:huh i mean, all this treachery cant be based on trust...can it?
Well I don't know for sure but this guy is old,shot and just in it for a pay cheque these days. IMO the SBW/Khoder circus puts Barnum and Bailey to shame. Botha will be getting good coin to not hurt SBW and put on a show but lose IMO. http://www.zimbio.com/Francois+Botha/articles/z64zi8STK_Z/Pianeta+domainates+Botha+Time+say+goodbye
SBW is no Pianeta..... SBW wont box like Pianeta, he will stand in front of botha and exchange. either botha stands and trades bombs, or he covers up and gets outa there early by ko. if botha hasnt got his heart in it. it will be over quick. if SBW carries him it will be obvious.
I'd imagine Botha has a pretty decent amount of money. Assuming he doesn't have tons of illegitimate kids, he should be a millionaire or close to it. How much would he need to be paid to completely disgrace himself and take a **** on a great career? $250,00? As Swingin suggested, it's not easy for a South African who lives in the US to be paid $250,000 illegally in Australia and get it back in the country. Not even mentioning the risk of legal woes, including a possible prison stint. If he wins, he can get a couple more fights as an opponent for legit young guys like Pianeta, and he'll be well paid for those fights as well. Legally and without risk. If he loses, those opportunities probably fade. So factor that in. This isn't some guy who has a day job mowing lawns. Why would he show up in decent shape for the fight if he was just planning to take a dive? Is he planning to transition into a career as a swim suit model? Other than that though, I like the theory.
Sadly, I think Frans is here for the payday. He was probably close to retiring after his recent performances and then got the opportunity to fight $BW for good money. No way would Nasser risk his new cash cow against a legit opponent at this stage of his "career".
I hope for those that buy/go to the pub to see it it's legit. SBW went 6 rounds with Scott Lewis outboxing him. That's the only full fight I have seen of his. I think he will do the same with this guy. I dunno I just don't think Khoder will put him in with someone who will beat him jeapordise his Rugby season. JMO.
SBW is fighting Botha because Botha is done. Look at the photo above, thats why he's fighting him. Botha wont take a dive.
I agree mate. Khoder has paid Botha for a nice holiday. Botha is just looking for cash at this stage of his career. The fix is in:deal
