On the other hand he could be trying genuinely to get back and get fans and has to go this route. I don't trust the guy. He's an event coordinator for himself. I think he's going to attempt to make a few million fighting stiffs and then retire again. I'll try to keep an optimistic outlook but with realistic expectations.
You miss the point, he's not making a 'moral stand' just an equality one. If he's fighting a stiff so what? As long as he gets paid appropriately. The classic example was Warren falling for Haye's cant make the weight any more story after he became Cruiser Champion. Within 2 weeks of that Warren offered Haye £1m to dot a clueless Enzo, money for jam. Haye is taking personal financial risks to get himself maximum return, good luck to him. A bit reminiscent of Billy Walker.

And conversely you missed mine. The mans a complete narcissist and a bluffer.I fell for it once leading up to Wlad. The rest is history. I'm not questioning his right to earn a living or put on his own show, I question his motives. You tried to infer that he's doing this so he does not have to be controlled by promoters. What I'm saying is that's more then likely a crock. Fool me once shame on you but fool me twice shame on me.
