Not making weight is shameful. I am not surprised they didnt just do a purse cut and give it to the other guy.

The original purse for DE La Rosa was 40K, the promoter offer him 120K because of 2.6 Lbs over, they made a counter offer of 250 K + the original 40 K......so that fight didn't happen

LMAO

DLR's side is nuts if they think he was worth $290k. $120k is likely a career high purse by quite a bit and he was probably going to be knocked out anyway.

Wow, if that's accurate he should sue his handlers. Turning down that will make the rounds and he'll never get another opportunity.

Hope he moves up. At super-middle he'd be a big name in a poor division.
He'd have a chance of beating any of the champions.

What was Lemieux's purse ?

HBO owes David a fight, so he'll have a nice payday right around the corner.

Lemieux is now scheduled to face Tapia on Canelo undercard.
