    Anybody knows why Tua took 2 years off after drawing the IBF eliminator with Rahman? Since it was a draw and Hasim went the WBA route, didn't Tua have another eliminator basically in the bank?

    So, the manager, trainer, as well as the wives and the girlfriends of Tua's managers and trainer, had cards to access Tua's bank accounts, but Tua didn't? And they didn't bother to keep receipts or a paper trail that an accountant could make sense of?

    :rolleyes:

    Yeah, it shouldn't have taken a half a decade to sort out that people were skimming money.
