Williams wants 50/50 to fight Winky

[Contenders]

I don't know if this a repost, but I just read on another site that the negotiations for a possible Paul Williams-Winky Wright fight next year have hit a major snag...money! Apparently, Williams is demanding a 50/50 split with Winky.

What do you all think? Is that a fair demand?

[THE REED]

hell yeah it is.... the last time winky fought was LAST summer and it was a LOSS

[djsygo]

sure is...what has winky done lately? I like him but cant see why a 50 50 on this could be wrong. Great publicity for both

[MELLY-MEL...]

yeah it is. winky aint done ****, and has no leverage essentially. 50 50 is more than fair imo.

Winky should just be happy that HBO is giving his boring ass the opportunity. 50/50 is more than fair.

I'm with you guys. 50/50 seems fair just based on Winky's name. He hasn't fought in forever, his last fight was a loss, and he's not exactly the most fan-friendly fighter (style-wise) who packs them into arenas.

I wonder what kind of crazy demand Winky is making???

I hope 50/50 is agreed upon 'cause this would be a nice fight for '09.

You would think he would stop playing hardball after certain amount of time.

there comes a time where u have to step up and start winning big fights to demand money... ur name, and not a GREAT name at that, can only take you so far in the financial affairs of boxing

Winky is about as boring to watch as Chris Byrd. I hope Williams-Wright happens because Paul Williams would literally punish him.

even split is more than fair for winky
