Doesn't seem a lot of cash for a fight against Ward? £141k? By the time his team have taken a cut, his manager, promoter. The taxman. Paid gym bills, food, masseuse. Not a lot of money at all to risk your life for. How much does the average fighter make?
He wasn't about to land a bigger fight and Ward is hardly a death risk especially at a comeback stage of his carreer.
Hasnt he lost 65k for being a fat c*** too? That means he has effectively made nothing from the fight and put an L on his record and embarrassed himself. Serious self ownage by Smith, he cannot be all that bright or very well advised!
