Floyd Schofield Sr. Went on social media to explain why his son did not accept an agreement to fight Abdullah Mason. Papa Schofield says they received a $ 5 million contract from $ 5 million from Golden Boy. He mentions that the choice either had to agree to the $ 1 million for the Mason Fight or the 5-year agreement of Golden Boy. They went with the latter.
$ 5 million Golden Boy Deal
“I thought I would discuss the news out there about the children’s mask fight. Number 1, we want to fight (Abdullah) Mason, and yes, according to Mason, we will fight, according to Golden Boy and them, ‘Floyd Schofield Sr. Fighting type. ‘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 agreement for $ 5 million. “
I wonder if Schofield’s manager recommends that they do not enter into the agreement? He probably could have gotten a much greater agreement if he fought Mason and beat him.
‘Guaranteed five years of employment. Guaranteed that we will fight for a title soon. What would you choose? Greg Hackett says: ‘You have suffered $ 2.5 (million). “No, because I had $ 5 million on the table, and the team that offers it says, ‘Nah.’ So, I had a choice.
This indicates that Schofield Sr. did not have confidence in his son’s ability to defeat Abdullah Mason. Signing a long -term agreement with Golden Boy for that amount is a red flag that the faith was not there. If you think he can win, let you fight him, because Mason’s beat will send Schofield’s stock through the roof.
‘DE $ 5 million, it’s just the minimum. That’s not even everything. So, you can believe what you want, ‘says Schofield Sr. About Golden Boy’s 5-year agreement for Floyd Sr. ‘ I don’t like putting money companies out there, but I thought, I would clean the rumors. No one is afraid of no mason. We look forward to fighting Mason. We shared the ring with him. “
Breaking down the agreement
Let’s break down the agreement. If you think Schofield will fight three times a year, he only earns $ 333,000 per fight. This is not a good deal. Floyd Sr. Would have been better to take the $ 1 million agreement offered for the Abdullah Mason match, because his value would have increased if he won. Of course, if Papa Schofield does not believe that his son can beat Mason, it makes sense why he rejected the offer.
“Our next opponent in June is good. This is a test. I can’t say who it is, but it’s a good fight here. We fresh off the bench. This has been our first fought back since November. If it’s not a step, I don’t know what to say to you. I have to wait for them to announce it, but it’s going to be a good fight. “
Fans don’t expect Golden Boy much for Schofield. After Floyd jr. Performed in his last battle against Rene Tellez Giron, and dropped Golden Boy, Golden Boy is not about to put Schofield with someone with a pulse. The icing on the cake was pulled out at the last second with a mysterious illness for his fight against WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson in February.
‘Haters still hate. I like it. And the Mama Schofield thing. Oh, it’s incredible. It’s so funny, ‘says Floyd Sr.
