Redkach would have been better eating a tainted cow and shooting banned substances in his arse cheek. This doesn't pass the smell test, confiscate an entire 300k purse and another 10k penalty and 1 yr ban? I'm not sure the ref even penalized him.

Jack Mosley has been training Redkach
I think the whole forfeit the whole purse stuff is just them trying to look tough, he's already got his money and I doubt he's going to give it back :S
Punishment is severe. Ivan Redkach fought and earned his wages, fines and suspensions were legitimate, not complete confiscation, and his team will also suffer
Ivan Redkach fined, suspended, loses $300,000 purse for biting Danny Garcia's neck
Boxer Ivan Redkach has been fined and suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission for biting his opponent Danny Garcia last Saturday during their title elimination fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Redkach’s boxing license will be suspended for a full year and he will have to pay the maximum fine of $10,000. He will also have to give up the $300,000 purse he earned from the fight, which seems like it might be a problem. According to a source who spoke to ESPN’s Dan Rafael, Redkach has already deposited his winnings check.
The bite occurred late in the eighth round. Garcia had been easily handling Redkach during the fight, and Redkach appeared to become so frustrated that he bit Garcia on the neck when the two were stuck in a clinch. The referee didn’t deduct any points from Redkatch for the bite, and Garcia still won the match by unanimous decision.
During his post-match interview with Showtime, Garcia was able to be pretty lighthearted about his opponent biting him.
"He bit me. He said 'Mike Tyson' when he bit me," Garcia said, via ESPN. "I said 'Ref, he bit me.' I thought I needed stitches or something. That's my first time ever getting bit in a fight. Things happen though. I've been in a street fight before, so I did it all."
The New York State Athletic Commission obviously wasn’t able to treat a biting incident with such humor and forgiveness. However, Redkach will be able to appeal the NYSAC’s decision, which could potentially reduce some of the penalties he was assessed.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I can’t imagine this stands. There will be a penalty and suspension, but he would for sure sue if they took his whole purse. But I do agree that it’s ridiculous that someone can take illegal substances and it not become near as big of a deal. Taking PEDs is much worse than just biting someone.
Agreed, and it's a singular offense as opposed to illegal substances being used for god knows how long. I'm not dismissing fouls especially a bite but honestly speaking this was not some raging shark bite ala Tyson or that one Francisco Lorenzo who did it in multiple fights. Redkach had his mouth opened in a clinch and put it on Danny neck, I don't even think he closed it. Maybe if they went after intentional billy goat headbutts and guys making an art of targeting sharp elbows on the follow through these fines and penalties would be taken more serious. I don't like the idea of a commission coming back behind the scene and making a decision involving life changing money to any fighter when there was zero acknowledgement in the actual fight.
ivan's suspension reduced to six months & only a ten thousand dollar fine, the commission came to their senses
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
