    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 .
