Is Ricky burns terrified of Adrian broner?

What were they proposing that Broner got?

Did this actually happen or are you making it up? What was the offer GBP made, that would be quite telling under the circumstances

 

Macho,you keep saying Ricky is knocking back 3 or 4 times his biggest purse.Does that mean you think he only earned around £100k for Mitchell?
Notsaying it's a stone cold fact but I've heard he got at least double that.

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't been on for a few days,but going on what I have seen,it seems you're taking Billy's post out of context.It wasn't stated in the way you're inferring here,as you're paraphrasing and giving it a completely different angle.
Again though,happy to put my hands up if I've missed anything.:good

The reason Ricky probably doesn't have a great mindset is because he had a full camp which was subsequently wasted and missed out on a big wage he was probably relying on.Ricky's no millionaire yet and I also suspect from my very limited dealings with Ricky that he's the type to feel it when people are questioning him.People think athletes of a reasonable profile are all immune to the effects of public criticism but Ricky is just a normal humble guy who will feel it when people question his integrity,regarless of the fact it shouldn't be in question.
I'd say he's got good reason not to be in the best place right now.
February was always a laughably unrealistic option.Broner would be the biggest and toughest fight of his career plus his first time stateside.It's a unification bout and Ricky is perfectly entitled to a full preparation and promotional period as this could break him as well as make him.
Broner was desperate for an opponent.Ricky's a legitimate belt holder so why should he just jump after a wasted camp and his head not being right?
Even without that he's perfectly entitled to four months notice for the biggest fight of his life.

 

Depends whether we are talking gross or net I guess. And I imagine their are 2 types of "net" here. (I know that sounds stupid)

Obviously we are speculating on the £400k to begin with.

Is Ricky asking for £400k net of tax? Or £400k net of tax, management, trainer, cutman fees etc? (pure take home money)

I'd be surprised if Ricky banked £200k after all deductions for Mitchell....

Regarding the Billy Nelson stuff, i don't think you can interpret it any other way. They didn't want the fight plain and simple. A quick Google search brings up lots of articles where they are saying Ricky wants a tune up fight first. Why does a world champion need a tune up?

I think his team could have handled this a lot better.

 

:huh
