Thurman Turns Down $6 Million Dollars Deals With Roc Nation

[bojangles1987]

and what if it ends up being the greatest thing ever? if it fails then at least thurman got paid good money while it lasted.

in life you need to take risks to be the best of the best and not like the rest.

This deal has nothing to do with taking risks to be the best. It would risking your future over three paydays.

I don't like Haymon at all, but Thurman would have to be ****** to take this deal right now. He's in the best place he can be as a welterweight. If this was Top Rank calling, that'd be different.

Thurman couldn't take this deal if he wanted too.

$6 million for 3 fights (against guys like manny, bradley, brook, marquez, etc. all open for him). roc nation is mroe than willing to work with top rank and any other promoters to make the fight happen. plus 6 million!! where else could he make that kind of money for just 3 fights?

how does this hurt his future?

it hurts his future fighting nobodies with al haymon. that's whats hurting his future and the future of boxing.

please people WAKE UP! haymon has you all in a trance. did we forget the kind of "competitive" match ups haymon has been giving his fighters?

roc nation is coming in to help the sport!!!! jay-z is a good person!

When is this guy going to fight someone with a name? His next fight is a cross between Chaves and Karass. Fans' frustration is understandable considering the two big stars in the sport who are out of their primes are always bashed with their choice of fights. These guys get a pass for fighting nobodies.

This ^^^

He just dont want to say that Al Haymon owns his soul and told him that he better not take that deal. Its no different than Wilder turning down the $2mil or Kid Chocolate turning down $1.5mil. Haymon told them they had to.

What in the world makes you think Top Rank would work with Roc Nation?

[-Kev-]

It would be idiotic to take the deal. Ask Andre Dirrell, who is back with Haymon after leaving him, where did his career go when he left Haymon and signed with 50 cent. Yeah, 6 million looks really good on paper but those tv dates and backing of gbp can't be replaced by some rookie company who hasn't put on a successful show yet and has no fighters to offer Thurman, while gbp/Haymon have the 140-154 divisions on lock.

this right here. People complaining but you have to really think about it. If thurman signed on to rocnation sports, who would he fight? Cuz al haymon wont let his fighters fight with rocnation sports because of his dislike for jayz, the satanist.
