Anyone else reckon the Haye fight is off 'cause Setanta aint paid him?

[Violent Demise]

The money wasn't an issue but Norris still got paid, right? It must have been an issue. So what were their purses?

Why isn't a fighter allowed to fight for free?

You work for free at your job? Only an idiot would fight for free. But lets say there is a fighter who's stupid enough to fight for free. You really think his trainer, promoter and manager would do the same? No. Even if he didn't want it he would almost be forced to take it

Right.. you said "No fighter is allowed to fight for free" So it's not illegal, right? Just plain fucking stupid.

Just like it's plain fucking stupid to suggest money is irrelevant, right?

What were Norris and Vaden's purses?

I'm thinking your saying Haye shouldn't fight for free. I agree. What exactly is your point?

I know you agree. Only a complete IDIOT would suggest a pro boxer would fight for free. Money dictates the game. Boxing is all about the money. If you ain't getting paid you aint fighting. Fact.

If memory serves me right it was 1.5 mill for Vaden. 1.3 for Norris. Which is a joke of a purse for Norris

Not quite, VD.

Vaden's $250,000 purse was withheld for "conduct unbecoming a champion,"
