Casimero: 'Lalaban kahit walang suporta'
JOHNRIEL Casimero is getting a downgrade in his fight purse after reportedly receiving six-figure amount in his last couple of fights.
The WBO bantamweight champion is frustrated over what he described as lack of support with TGB Promotions, which represents him, nor MTK Global which handles Paul Butler, didn’t join the bidding.
Probellum, headed by former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, won the rights to the Casimero-Butler mandatory fight with a bid of $105,000.
Casimero is reportedly set to receive 75 percent of the $105,000 purse, about $78,750 (around P3.9 million) before deductions.
