Floyd Schofield Sr. He started to social media to explain why his son did not accept the agreement with Abdullah Mason. Papa Schofield claims that they received a 5-year contract worth $ 5 million from Golden Boy. He states that the choice consisted of agreeing $ 1 million for Mason’s fight, or take a 5-year contract from Golden Boy. They went with the latter.

$ 5 million Golden Boy Deal

“I thought I would ask about the fight for children-maason. Number 1, we want to fight [Abdullah] Mason anyway, we will fight Mason, according to Golden Boy and them “, Floyd Schofield Senior Warrior. “But Golden Boy has other plans. Mason offered us a million dollars. Their team offered us a million dollars to fight, but Golden Boy offered us a five -year offer for $ 5 million.”

I wonder if the manager Schofield recommended not to take this contract? He could probably get a much larger offer if he fought Mason and defeated him.

“Guaranteed five years of employment. We guarantee that we will soon fight for the title. What would you choose? Greg Hackett said:” You lifted $ 2.5 [million]. ‘No, because I had $ 5 million on the table, and the team that offers it says: “No.” So I had a choice. Are we going on this side for $ 1 million or are we going on this side for $ 5 million? “

This suggests that Schofield Sr. He did not trust his son’s ability to defeat Abdullah Mason. Signing a long -term contract with a golden boy for this amount is a red flag that was not faith. If you think he can win, you let him take this fight, because defeating Mason would send Schofield’s supplies through the roof.

“ThE $ 5 million is just a minimum. That’s not even all. So you can believe what you want, “said Schofield Sr. with a 5-year Golden Boy agreement on Floyd SR.” I don’t like to put business there, but I thought I cleaned the rumors. Nobody is afraid of Mason. We are eagerly waiting for the fight against the Mason. We shared the rings with him. “

Breaking the contract

Let’s break this offer. If you think Schofield will fight three times a year, he only earns 333 thousand. USD for fighting. This is not a good opportunity. Floyd Sr. It would be better to take part in a transaction worth $ 1 million for the fight of Abdullah Mason, because his value would augment if he won. Of course, if Papa Schofield did not believe that his son could overcome Mason, he made sense why he rejected the offer.

“Our next opponent is good in June. This is a test. I can’t say who it is, but this is a good fight here. Freshly from the bench. This is our first fight since November. If this is not a step forward, I don’t know what to say.

Fans don’t expect much from Golden Boy to Schofield. After Floyd Jr. He performed in his last fight with Rene Tellez Giron in November last year, Golden Boy does not intend to put Schofield with anyone with a pulse. The icing on the cake was his withdrawal in the last second with a mysterious disease of fighting with the lightweight champion WBC Shakur Stevenson in February last year.

“Haters are still hate. I love it. And we have Schofield. Oh, it’s amazing. It’s so humorous,” said Floyd Ser.

Whether to the Ring of Manny Pacquiao this summer is a good or bad thing, see you. However, it cannot be denied that some deal with the legendary eight letters and for a reason. The man is finally forty -six years aged, in full sixteen years older than the world Titwia Mario Barrios, with whom he will have to meet in the return of the ring on July 19. What’s more, Pacquiao has not fought since he was defeated by Yordenis Ugas in 2021.

“I can’t say anything negative, because Manny meant so much to us and our company,” said former Pacquiao promoter, Bob Arum (Via). “But it seems really doubtful that in his age he would be at risk, entering the ring with the master. That is, George Foreman was not even at this age – he was younger when he defeated Michael Moorer. And George was lively for years before the fight with Moorer. Manny was not lively at all.”

The renowned Teddy Atlas coach is not concerned about the fact that Pacquiao is able to go back in the ring to get the title of World Champion after years except for professional ranks. However, he is concerned about the well -being of a man. I have no problem with the fact that he jumps out of respect for what he did, “said Atlas.” The problem is where he is physically in his life and what it really means, and what it means, and the damage that a sport can cause about, which of course he loves, if God prohibits something that can happen Manny Pacquiao at the moment, because of things I think about it. “

Still, no matter how others can feel, Pacquiao is clearly confident, if not compulsively in search of earlier glory. And for those interested? “Don’t worry about it,” he said that this is real, the last Pacquiao training clips present an extremely energetic and athletic middle -aged man, training – as said online – is not the same as being in the ring. With this in mind, Freddie Roach, who once again works as a Pacquiao coach, seems to have a fairly objective view on this matter. “” This is a challenging way for everyone at this age to do what Manny is trying to do, “says that quotes.” But if someone can do it, manny can. “

The Italian boxer Giovanni “Nino” Benvenuti, who won the Olympic gold in Rome in 1960, died on Tuesday at the age of 87, said the Italian Olympic Committee (IOC).

Changing a professional after the Olympic Games, Benvenuti was also a world champion in two different weight divisions in the 1960s.

Born in the Istria region in the contemporary part of Slovenia, Benvenuti won the Olympic half -handed gold for Italy with victory over Yuri Radoniak from the Soviet Union in the final.

The Val Barker trophy was awarded as an outstanding boxer at the 1960 Games – an event in which the American Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, won delicate gold in massive weight.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni paid tribute to Benvenuti as an athlete and for speaking for thousands of Italians killed by Yugoslav partisans or exiled at the end of World War II.

“Thanks to Nino for fighting in the ring and for people in defense of the truth. Italy will not forget you,” she wrote in social media.

Benvenuti won the world welterweight title in 1965, when he knocked out Sandro Mazzinghi’s compatriot.

After losing this crown, he moved to the medium scale and defeated the American Emile Griffith at Madison Square Garden in 1967 to win the next world championship title.

Griffith won the rematch later in the same year, but Benvenuti regained the title in 1968 at the third meeting.

The Italian lost his title in 1970, when the Argentinean Carlos Monzon defeated him in Rome.

After retiring, he appeared in several films and remained a familiar face with regular television performances.
