Greg Leon advised Allan Green to turn down 450.000$ for a Pavlik fight?

Theres no shame in losing to Kelly Pavlik, especially when you could be getting paid half a mil for it.

 

leon is has an over inflated ego he seems to think he know more about bocxing then any one. he's a dumb ass

 

I could not have said it better myself that site sucks!!

 

THis article is hysterical:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3493100&name=rafael_dan

Greg Leon (of Boxing Talk) "advised" Green to not take the offer and were initially asking for 1 mill!! Some advisor he is. Anybody who knows ANYTHING would have jumped at the offer of $450K to fight for the MW Championship. Green hasn't done ****.

 

G Leon is a complete dick. He is sooooo biased and an absolute Cotto hater. He cares more about fighters making money than actually seeiing good fights.

 

He's probably waiting to fight a weak title holder at 168. In all fairness to Green, he's too big at this point in his career to make 160. He is a 168/175 pounder. I don't blame him for not wanted to starve himself down to 160 to fight a killer like KP. I think if the fight was offered at super middle, Green would've taken it IMO. Sometimes you have to look at the big picture.

 

a fighter like green needs to look at some one like antwon echols career..,fight all the tops guys and champs you can..thats the only way a fighter of that level is gonna get paid and actually win a title..,

this guy thinks hes the man and a name..,boohoo..,i shouldnt be fightin on ESPN..,**** your face al green your not a name and havent won a big fight

take the 450k..,what an *******!!!

DAN LAW

 

Seems weird...fighters live to fight, and where else is he going to make 450g's?
Most guys not in line for a shot would jump at the chance for even less money. The exposure and oppertunity may never again present themselves.
Seems like Alan may be a little underconfident....or scared?

 

You didn't read the article. They tried to call back and beg for the fight.

 

He also turned down a title shot against Bute.

This guy is going nowhere. atsch

 

He should start by beating someone rated in the top10. :rofl

 

Greg Leon knows Pavlik will ruin Allan Green. He is trying to milk him for more over a longer period of time - rather than cash him out right now. Pavlik will end Green's career - so he is taking a chance. If it was twice that amount they would take it.

 

I dont' think so. He tried to call Arum back. I think he was just being a punk like the axeholes that buy into that rapcrap violence ****. Talk big and important and arrogant like your idols of rapcrap music. Gangsta **** or whatever. Found out he was playing with the big boys and cried about it later. Well tried too. Arum wouldn't take his calls.

 

I don't think he turned it down, I just don't think he heard, he was too busy looking at his feet at the time
