    Jennings is promoted by Peltz and his manager is James Prince. It fell apart because his delusional manager Prince wanted a 50/50 split including the Polish TV money. Duva also offered him a fight against Glazkov which they turned down.

    You might also remember that Jennings was offered the final eliminator fight against Pulev and was offered $100,000 which he turned down while his manager was publicly claiming he was only offered 25K until Kalle Sauerland exposed him on twitter for lying. This guys career is going nowhere fast with idiots like this surrounding him.

    P.S. Is James Prince the ex-manager who beat up and robbed Floyd and his team?

    If this is true, which its hard to believe it would be, Jennings needs to get a new manager asap, or start manning up on his career decisions by taking a bit more personal control. Its almost unfathomable that a prospect like Jennings, with his potential and yet 0 fan base, would turn down a shot at someone like Adamek. These are the type of fights an upcoming prospect is fighting for.

    Makes zero sense.

    So two guys duck Pulev, then decide to fight each other, then their own fight falls apart. Shocker!

    You can read the claims from both sides over at the scene.

    Prince still comes out like an idiot. How the hell do you expect 50/50 split from Adamek, including Polish TV revenue, when 90% of the people who buy the tix are there for Adamek. This is a career opportunity for Jennings a fight that can transform him from a prospect into a contender all on HBO and I'd be happy with a 70/30 split, while for Adamek this is just another day at the office.

    This Jennings chap seems to value his efforts too high. He could have been fighting KlitschKO and make millions. Yet, he didn't want to fight Khan Kubrat. Now another fight fells because of his claims. I guess he is saving himself for Wilder.

    I still think this fight will come through once Jennings realizes what his options are and how big of an opportunity this was and maybe if Duva gives him a little more than 25%. It will probably be put on at later date however. But Jennings needs to fire that idiotic manager of his or else he'll never get a big fight coming his way. His career was doing awesome under Main Events. This guy is sabotaging Jennings' career by giving him terrible advice.

    Jennings is the rising star and Adamek is the fading contender. Jennings has earned a 50/50 split on the gate and the American TV money. But he should really focus on his fanbase money n drop the Polack ppv $$$$

    exactly, they both are becoming fishy by turning down good offers and avoiding all risks.
    For Adamek I can understand - he is not that young and is making sure to cash out a big fight before he retires and that is why he is not taking risks. However, Jennings has been turning down good offers one after another, it seems he is going down the Wilder's route.

    man stfu. pulev hasn't proven **** so far.His hype should have come off quite a bit after grandpa thompson shaved off the first 4 rounds easily, making pulev look clueless in the ring. Pulev was lucky Thompson has zero stamina and gassed out.
