Schofield Camp Drives $10M–$50M Price for Elite Fights

Even $10 million is a staggering figure, but for Floyd Sr. to float $50 million, wow! His feet are not firmly planted on the ground. He is in the clouds, dreaming things up and coming up with wild figures.

The CV reality check

The fundamental problem is that the 23-year-old Schofield Jr. has an empty CV, barren of notable names. His best career win is 35-year-old Tevin Farmer, who came into their June 28 fight on a three-fight losing streak. He was 0-3, a textbook example of a down-and-out fighter.

“We call out Tank. If Mason wants to call us out, we’ll take the fight. If Shakur wants to fight, we’ll go up to 140 and Shakur fight. Those guys don’t want to fight us,” Floyd Schofield Sr. said. MillCity Boxing.

Who Schofield calls

“How can you say you’re not worth $10 million? I say that to the people who say he (‘Kid Austin’) is not worth $10 million,” said Schofield Sr., who defended his $10 million asking price for his son to fight the big names Shakur, Tank, Haney and Mason. “What price will they put on their children if they die in that ring? If they can’t say they’re worth that price, that’s on them.”

What the camp really says

With Floyd Sr’s asking price, he’s not going to get any of the four names he wants his son, ‘Kid Austin’ to fight. What he needs to do is start from the bottom and fight some of the contenders who are young, hungry and on the rise. Jadier Herrera would be a good one. William Zepeda would also be excellent. He’s the guy who softened Farmer up to fighting Schofield by beating him in back-to-back fights.

“I know he’s worth more than that. He’s worth more than $10 million, because if we’re going to do fair business, we have to walk away with $50 million. We have to eat off the ads. We have to eat from the concession stand and the ticket sales. If they come in with $10 million, we fight now. It’s about the money. You can’t take these boxed things with you,” Schofield Sr. said.
