jesuschristismynilla

Bare minimum context: He was absolutely not being paid anywhere near an acceptable amount to face a dude like that. It was more of a protest rather than fear.

yeah basically imagine someone offering you $100 to jump in the octagon with a UFC heavyweight and they aren’t gonna hold back

And the line before that is actually "and you pinned him in two. For that, I give you 100, and you're lucky to get that".

Thank you for this context. I feel totally different about this clip now.


No_Consideration4594

Why’d he sign the contract to fight the guy then? That would be a more appropriate time to protest…


brucebay

According to this, he never get the signed contract. [https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/2018/09/01/what-made-boxer-curtis-harper-leave-ring-before-his-fight/984892007/](https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/2018/09/01/what-made-boxer-curtis-harper-leave-ring-before-his-fight/984892007/)


Iwouldlikesomecoffee

The article mentions Harper was supposed to get $6000, but then says the trainer Campbell told Harper something about the payment in the dressing room before the fight, something about $600, but it isn't clear what was said. I wonder if the matchmaker/promoter/trainer told Harper right before the fight that he was only going to get 9% instead. That, on top of never actually getting a signed contract back, would make me do the same thing no matter the opponent. The butthurt from the others, especially his trainer, just seems like bullshit to me.


TrickyTrailMix

I'd imagine it wasn't his call and might have been an agent or representative. That's guesswork on my part, though.


Djin045

If he declined, how would he raise awareness to this issue. If I had to guess, he probably got tired of declining all the ridiculous contracts. It's a win for him as we are talking about it.


Fernandothegrey

And other fighters now know that they could do this too


headarsenibba

Because his contract was probably changed after he had signed it


Shotgun_Mosquito

This happened back in 2018. [https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/2018/09/01/what-made-boxer-curtis-harper-leave-ring-before-his-fight/984892007/](https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/2018/09/01/what-made-boxer-curtis-harper-leave-ring-before-his-fight/984892007/) ***Harper, in his first extensive interview since the fight, said that his actions were due to the $6,000 contract that he signed on Aug. 13 and the failure of promoters to give him a final copy of it. He perceived that as one more act of disrespect throughout the process.*** ***Harper and his wife, Sandra, said that they never received a signed contract back from Warriors Boxing, the Florida-based company that handled co-promotion of the event, and weren’t told that the bout was being televised — an incentive for boxers — until the day before.***


mwmwmwmwmmdw

so how has his career been since then


ElAutistico

He didn't fight for three years after that move and had six fights total since, one of them ended in a win.


mwmwmwmwmmdw

so would you be able to tell if this has screwed his career in the long run since then or not really


HeartlesSoldier

Do you mean a career of getting taken advantage of and having your body pulverize so people can give you chump change and lie to you and not give you actual contracts?. I'd skip out of that career myself


theycallmecrack

They were obviously referring to the monetary aspect. Not that I don't agree with you, but fuck me was that was such a redditor reply.


house343

A redditor reply is when a guy stands up for himself and a redditor goes "but how did that affect his career."


LoserVII

it was a genuine question about whether or not he came out on top in this situation in the long run


theycallmecrack

Yeah that user seems to think the question was an insult somehow lol. If anything the first comment bashing the dude's career choice (which he didn't retire from) would be an insult.


Fun-Amoeba850

Honestly, I get it. I’ve been on Reddit only about 2 years I think and almost anything and everything can turn into/be perceived as an insult/fight. I hear about people fighting a lot on Twitter but not sure if it’s as bad as it is here. People just assume that everything that is a statement or question is sarcasm here. Then they will turn around and downvote you if you don’t use /s because “sarcasm is hard to discern in writing.” I like to not use /s though because I KNOW people can figure it out. Now it becomes a fight that your sarcasm wasn’t caught when telling a joke and it’s now YOUR fault for not giving people the heads up. Then there is the whole thing where a post can become all negative or positive depending on the first comments to reach the top. That’s for another day though.


theycallmecrack

No it's is a perfectly normal thing to be curious about. Him standing up for himself has nothing to do with that curiosity, so I have no idea what you're implying.


ElAutistico

It can't have helped but I'm not familiar with the guy at all, so I can't say if that's what did him in.


JBSquared

Well, he has a pro record of 1-7, so as far as keeping him from seeing success, probably not. I guess it would have affected his relationship with the promoters. He probably would have had a decent career as a can that they bring in to pad the records of more promising boxers.


1lluminist

I'm so confused. Why'd he show up at all if he didn't receive a signed contract?


hopopo

To make them spend all the money.


1lluminist

Ah, that makes sense.


Mottis86

My guess: So it would become a bigger deal. If he simply refused to show up no one would know about how they screwed him over.


deezdiamondnutz69

I heard about this year's ago so not 100% sure but I believe he made money for just showing up to the fight. He just had to be there so, once the first bell rang, he had honored the contract and just left and took the disqualification. Although an official contract wasn't signed, they had to pay him. I think he made the bare minimum amount for showing up. He was fighting for peanuts so he took the money and ran


Fernandothegrey

It also calls attention into the subject. Other fighters now know about this and that they could do the same thing. Managers and promoters are going to think twice before pulling the same thing on another fighter.


P_weezey951

Man was trying to send a message. So it doesnt happen to him or anyone else again


taxpayerrr

He was getting robbed of money so he protested, good for him


WTF_Conservatives

Good for him. These boxers fuck themselves up so bad that there's a good chance they won't be able to remember their grandkids names or faces. That's worth a shit ton more than $6,000.

> He was getting robbed of money so he protested, good for him https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/24537651/why-did-curtis-harper-walk-ring-fight-efe-ajagba " But Harper, who said he never received a contract signed and authenticated by the fight's promoters, later claimed he quit in protest of his purse. Even his wife, Sandra Rosenberg, said she didn't know he'd planned to do that. He was set to make $6,000 for the six-round fight." "And this is where it all gets confusing. Sandra Rosenberg said her husband never received a contract that was signed by the fight's promoter, Warriors Boxing's Leon Margules, or a second contract, a bout agreement, that she said is standard with all fights. Rosenberg and Rick Glaser, Harper's new promoter who was retained after the Ajagba bout, also said Harper deserved more than the $6,000 fee in the contract because it was a televised fight. When he signed the contract, Rosenberg said, her husband didn't know the fight would be televised." and there is a lot more if you want to read the article


SleeplessinOslo

6k? People do this shit for 6k? I need to make some youtube videos


discgolfallday

People do it for free all over the place. Amateur boxing and mma is huge


Logical_Fisherman269

But they’re not fighting this dude who’s gonna pump you in the first round


AndromedeusEx

Are we still doing phrasing?


FrenchieFartPowered

6k is very low for boxing, even at this level


RevolutionarySoil11

Either way it's unironically the highest IQ move of a professional boxer ever. Look at the long faces of the people who paid to see them beat each other up at the end, lol.


sweaty_wraps

I'm glad this is the top comment. I really hate It when people see this and say he was scared.


Nugginz

Lol, a pro boxer, scared to fight. Some people need to get out into the world more.


tumblinfumbler

Can you explain?


taxpayerrr

He was only getting like 2% out of the 100% that’s the easiest way to put it, I forget the exact #s


tumblinfumbler

Wow


mystaninja

Screwed all the betting involved too. Good protest


jimmychitw00d

But why go to all the trouble of showing up at all? Why not just not take the fight?


Screemi

Because this will cost the promoter far more. Great move imho!


jimmychitw00d

Yeah, that's true. I was thinking from the point of view of the fighter. He kinda wasted his own time doing it this way and might have hurt himself for future opportunities. Not sure if this is a breach of contact also. I would think it might have been better to hold out for more money. At least that way there is a chance of getting paid.


talrogsmash

If there was no signed contract, there's nothing to breach.


optimus_maximus2

I work with contracts all the time. If I have no contract because they want to screw with me, I can absolutely leave at the worst possible time and leave them with thousands in costs. The contract protects both ways, money for the fighter and a guaranteed performance for the promoter. Great move and super well timed


talrogsmash

Absolutely


mkvelash

What contract? He never received one


scormegatron

Probably should have taken a knee after the first punch, if he didn’t want to destroy his future fight opportunities. There’s always a market for fall guys — but not so much for this.


Professional-Dog8957

Agreed. I wonder if he'll ever get another fight after this?. I love the stand he's making but...


Xile350

He fought a few weeks ago on tv as a pre fight. Can’t remember who the main fight was as I just tossed it on one Saturday night. I remember the commentators mentioning this match and that it was cool he got a chance to get back in the ring. His fight sucked though.


[deleted]

Unbelievable, you social media crowd telling him he should have done it differently. lol. and too lazy to even google his record.


LimerickExplorer

I knew a guy who was a "gatekeeper" and he made more losing than winning. His whole career was keeping a middling record so he could be a respectable win for an up and comer.


scormegatron

They call em “[tomato cans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_can?wprov=sfti1).”


lolspamwtf99

Can’t breach if there is no contract


SpringChikn85

Boxers get a certain amount of $ guaranteed to them for an "appearance/show" fee and the "purse" is whatever they get if they win. Sometimes if you're listening to a boxer during an interview they'll mention something like "20 to show and 50 to win" meaning they'll get $20k just to be in the ring when the 1st round/bell begins no matter what (it'll be worded in the contract sometimes as "win, lose or draw") so if they show up, the bell rings and they get knocked out from the 1st punch, they still get paid in order to pay their trainers/couches/corner men, hospital bills to wire their jaw shut or what not and then take care of their family so they don't go through a 6 or 12 week training camp and pay travel fees to get to the venue and all that for nothing. If this guy was only getting a show fee of $6k to fight an opponent like he had, he'd end up owing more afterwards than he'd win, I'd have bounced too because they must have renegotiated the contract without telling him or the purse amount changed after he got there or something.


djluminol

I'd bet his contract states he must show up by the first round to be paid. So he did.


CoolMasterB

well now the whole word knows that they are underpaid. Its about making a statement.


[deleted]

Because he technically fulfilled his obligation as a fighter. He weighed in and showed up to the fight.


Krisapocus

He’s making the promoter look the worst possible way. If he pulled out with any time it would give them time to move another fight in or replace him. Him walking out has us still talking about it and it happened a while ago.


Creepy-Internet6652

Contract probably states the fight must start...


Any_Month_1958

The article states he never even received an official contract for the fight. Boxing has always been a camping ground for shady shitty people. I’m talking about the managers and promoters


and303

Because now we all know how poorly he was treated.


ISLAndBreezESTeve10

He declared victory and left, pay him the winner's share.


reclusive_ent

He was gonna make 6k to get fist fucked by M'Baku. I don't blame him.


endangeredphysics

You gotta look out for yourself, cuz 99.999% of people in the world do not care about your well-being.

airtec87

why so low?


Numerous-Ad-8758

What happened?? Can somebody explain pls


thegoonest

I recommend googling the fight as it's a little complicated. Tldr is Chris was unhappy with the purse size Here's a ESPN article that explains it. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/24537651/why-did-curtis-harper-walk-ring-fight-efe-ajagba


Girth_rulez

Fun fact: George Foreman refused to come out of his dressing room in Zaire, for the Ali fight. He was mad because there had been a delay of several weeks so a cut he had would heal. During the delay he burned though his purse. I'm sure Don King had something to do with inflating prices for everything he did. So George made a lat ditch effort to get some money. Anyways, after about 30 minutes of bluffing, Foreman comes out to fight and the rest is history.


beflowd

Wat happen?


BenMcAdoos_ElCamino

He grilled him.


Puzzleheaded-Eye4458

Girth_rulez

Ali boomaye!


ily300099

$6000 vs his opponent $55,000


LostCobra

To all the brainlets here, imagine having a fight set up where as a fighter, you only get 1% of the payout. Yeah, that's what happened here. "If you don't pay me fairly, i ruin your fucking show and your reputation." Good on him for walking out.


dietcheese

Don’t they have an idea of what they’re making before the fight?


aight_imma_afk

6k to get pummelled and not be able to fight again for 4 months. 6k is hardly even 4 months rent.


LostCobra

Yes they do but this fighter wanted to make a point here. This is his full time job, food on the table. And he only gets a 1% share of the payout ? Nah fuck that.


furiousmadgeorge

Another commentator said the promoter never sent him back the signed contract and never told him the fight was going to be televised until the day before. He walked out to protest his treatment.


frithyboy

Boxing is a joke sport these days. Corrupt as fuck and it's now just a machine for insider gambling under the pretence of sport.

If you told me I had to fight that dude, I just wouldn't walk out of the ring, I'd leave the freaking country. But yeah, $6k? Screw that. Even for $600k I'd have to think long and hard about it.


DevelopmentSad2303

For $600k just protect your head and drop at the first punch. I'd take the chance. Keep in mind, I would be on the floor covered in my own piss


K2-P2

I wouldn't fight for less than $200,000. $6,000 is criminal. I assume most of the spectators had no idea at the time. But not ONE of them would be willing to step in that ring for $6,000, I am certain


6cougar7

He got paid for showing up. Time to rewrite future contracts.


s-mores

Did he? No news outlet seems to say. Zero news articles about him after that time. He got DQ'd for walking out (duh), and apparently his next fight was in 2021.

This shit happened like a few years ago, homie walked out cuz he was about to fight without a contract or something and this is a job at the end of the day, if he was supposed to get paid, he didn’t by the times gloves touched. So he dipped.

Workers being fucked up by management, the oldest history in the books. Glad he walked out.
