N2S...rough figures, what's the difference dollar-wise?
Mate i don't know if you noticed, there always seems to be something to do with money with these guys," this guy wants too much money" "we sent that guy a contract, but they scared",
Guys like Colin Wilson and Co would fight for a carton of piss and change, so why arent you calling him out.
I once suggested to Chauncey to fight some of the more expierenced guys, then he suggests that he would like to fight kim Heta, because Kim had a title?????
For the record Chauncey, Kim lost that title to Justine Whitehead who was 1-0 entering that fight.
Heaven forbid chauncey that when you finish your career that no one remembers you, because you chased these bullshit titles your entire career, that everyone in the industrie or know, knows mean nothing.
How on gods green earth could NZ provide more money to fight than in Australia, please explain.
Chauncey i admit in your 40 fight career you have fought 1 decent fighter, but to accomplish that in 40 fights easily suggests your only in it for the money.
I don't think IMO that these guys are asking for more than they worth, i think you might simply think your worth more than you are, it's a nice looking record chauncey but who have you beat of note? and why should the champion travel to your home to fight you?
IMO Kirby who is a good fighter shouldn't be the guy you are calling out, but hey he has a title right?
It's all about the money in this game, and in these hard time. Look at Meehan turning down a title fight.
An offer of $2500 Aussie dollars and I pay my own way isn't a tough offer to beat to get the fight in NZ. It's not that the money is great in NZ, it's just that the money we're gonna offer Kirby is bigger than what they offered us. There's your explaination for how there's more money in NZ.
As far as fighting a better opponent, you named Colin Wilson. Would love to fight him, and with him being a Born Kiwi, I could put on the NZ title, but with the beating he took against Shane Cameron it'll be a tough one to promote, but let's do it.
And Kirby does have a title, and title he KOed Nathan Briggs for, and thats the same Briggs who beat Wilson for the same title. I wanted the same title when Wilson had it, so it's not as if I'm here picking on Kirby.
Haumomo has turned down a couple fights with me. Hoppa as well.
Mirovic has flat out said no because my style "will make anybody look bad!"
DeMori fights in the States now.
Leapai and me was offered to fighton Shane Camerons card this past Sept but Leapai said no.
Hoppa wants a couple tune up type fights they have said.
Who's next?
As far as me calling out Heta, yep, I did call him out, but once again, it was for his belt, not that I figured he was a great fighter.
Why should a champion come to my home to fight me? Because his home doesn't think enough of him to put up some cash. If they put up decent cash and the belt, I'll be right over.
So here's the question, if not Kirby, who do you suggest I fight? Because IYO you think Kirby is good, but not the guy I should call out. If he's that good, he'd fight me. I have a blown up record. He's beaten guys with much more experience than him before.
Just noticed Chauncy is rated as a Kiwi on here
