Well said rigthhook. Too much trash talking going on now without any action. Smigga took the fight against Degale even though he had many other options. Its a fight the fans would want to see and would make for an amazing atmosphere in Liverpool as well.
Come on Mac sign up will ya.
First off we have no clue what the offer is. It may not be that high and it may have options.
Secondly the fight will go to purse bids soon enough. So McIntosh will get 40% of the purse guaranteed, and he may not have to fight in Bellews back yard.
Crediting Smith for taking a fight against someone with 8 fights.....in his home town....and its his highest payday. I give him credit for taking it, but you would need to give McIntosh far more for fighting Bellew in Liverpool.
first off mate you mightnt know what was offered. doesnt mean others dont. i assure you that danny got offered a very good pay day. danny has actually said and i quote "why should i take less than bellew" hahahahaha
what bellew gets paid by his own promoter has nothing to do with mcintosh. if he wants to be paid big money then maybe he should get a better promoter or maybe win a fight with bellew then he will be in a better position to bargain.
second, if it does go to purse bids then fair enough but my point is why say you want to fight bellew then when you get offered the fight you turn it down. dont call some1 out and make out like you want to fight him bad then hold out for a purse bid. there is no gaurantee it will go to a purse bid and bellew might fight another person.
i have no problem with fighters wanting to be well paid, but lets be real here danny mcintosh would have gotten a good payday, tv exposure, a sell out crowed, and more important than that the chance to win a belt or two. my guess is his next fight he will get less then half of what he has been offered against bellew plus no belt on the line and infront of a few houndred people and no live t.v but thats just my oppinion.
