Damn! That’s a lot of money for only one bid. Good for them. I don’t think Foster has a promoter after Probellum shutt, maybe if he wins this one Matchroom will sign him up.
Very generous purse from Matchroom Boxing for fighters at this level. Rocky was signed by Golden Boy back in March 2019 in a co-agreement with Promociones del Pueblo, and they had the great idea to put him against Roger Gutierrez, who flattened him in just one round. Since then, he has won six fights by KO being carefully matched, but that good run will end with O’Shaquie Foster, who is a real bad matchup for him. Matchroom boxing has been involved in his last two fights.
