I WILL ADVISE THAT THE CONCERNS OF THE BOXERS IS CRITICALLY CONSIDERED. SINCE THEIR FIGHT IS A NON TITLE FIGHT I FEEL THEY BOTH MUST TAKE EQUAL PURSE AND NOT ONE TAKING A BIGGER ONE THAN THE SITUATION STANDS NOW.

NOT DISCIPLINED. DONT FOLLOW TIMELINES. FAMA NYAME TALK...U THINK THIS IS A HOBBY? NO, THIS IS PURELY BUSINESS AND IF THE PROMOTERS HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS. THEY SHOULD GO TO S AFRICA AND FIND PPL TO UNDERSTUDY. THIS WHOLE FIGHT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT SINCE JAN OF THIS YR...ITS MAY AND WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. LOOK AT PROF FIGHTERS LIKE MAYWEATHER. RIGHT AFTER HE FOUGHT CANELO, HE WAS WAITING. THEN RIGHT AFTER MAIDANA KO BRONER. WE HEARD A DATE FOR THEMAYWEATHER/MAIDANA FIGHT. IT WAS SIGNED AND SEALED, CASH WAS TALKED ABOUT, TV, PPV ETC WAS ALL DISCUSSED AND A DEAL WAS DONE. AFTER THAT, THE FIGHTERS GET TO TRAIN AND MARKETING FOR THE FIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON UNTIL THE FIGHT EVENTUALLY HAPPENED LAST SAT. NOW, COMPARE THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THAT FIGHT TO THE CIRCUS GOING ON WITH THIS FIGHT IN GH? A COMPLETE JOKE.

Mr Zwennes, I don't think so, pay good purse, corporate Ghana would still sponsor and gate proceeds should be good

I THINK THESE TWO FOOLS ARE SCARED OF LOOSING.

IT is better you use your sense and talk something sensible or better shut up.These are two humans put in a ring to maim each other and one can easily die.Do you know the profit the promoters are going to get from the fight ?

Corporate Ghana? Is that all this Zweenes guy think about or because his share will definitely go down? How can you give these boxers 20.000 each when the promoters are going to get millions of Ghana cedis? How can the promoters be that wicked. PAy them the 50,000 they are demanding or forget about the fight. Period.

When GBA sanctions a fight, do they get any benefits from it?

These corporations are paying several hundred thousands to some of these artists. If there is evidence that promoter is getting up there in funding/sponsorship, he should be willing to share.

I will admit that Banku and Powers, should have asked for a percentage, in addition to a fixed purse. That would have been fair
