Cheers for the heads up, I had no idea... There was no negotiation. His immediate asking price was astronomical and wouldn't budge from it. Unlike the guy currently in negotiations who is a better option I'd say, anyway.[/quote]
K9 is an American with a title and a reputation over there. What does Choc bring to table other than money?

Well you just told me boxing is business! K9 has a title and a reputation? Title obviously, but you are aware that his own promoter offered a purse bid of $51,000 for his last title fight? DKP put in a bid that was just 1k above the
minimum you're allowed to offer under IBF rules. Clearly they had no faith in K9's reputation, or Spinks' for that matter as they promote him as well. Luckily for K9, GBP won the bid at $211,000. Under IBF rules 75% goes to the champion, so he fought for $158,000 or so.
Put it this way, Emanuel Steward - his own trainer, thought his asking price was ridiculous... So anyway, he'll now face the winner of Gabriel Rosado and Charles Whittaker, which in all likelihood will get him less of a purse than he received for the Spinks bout.
You can expect an announcement on Mundine's next opponent next week. I think people will be pretty happy with it.[/quote]
Choc went on in some of his brainless rants about having to take pay cuts and fighting for nothing. But he still expects reigning champions to just drop their pants for him.
If he can't afford K9. How is he going to afford Mayweather and PacMan
