Fuck's sake. This is getting remarkably frequent.

 

[Bryn]

Even @NoMas doesn't need a hint for this one.

Any promoter that doesnt pay there fighter within a week of the fight should be fineed 50% of that purse and banned from purse bids for 3 months.

Half goes to the unpaid fighter, Half to the board. If it happens again, it should be 100% and banned from purse bids for 6 months.

3rd time and your license should be revoked.

2 weeks isn't a great deal of time. I'm sure most on here a paid on a monthly basis anyway. I don't know the ins and outs of contracts, but I can't imagine a promoter would have to pay a fighter just two weeks after.

When my company buys products there's a 30 day window of payment.

Depends on your contract with the vendor usually, with my company its 90 days from when the invoice is generated, generally.

I thought most fighters get paid on Fight Night or right afterwards.

as @Bryn said most fighters get paid on fight night, so if you werent paid two weeks after your payday, you might be a bit pissed

Your company waits 90 days? If I had to wait that long I'd probably steal your Bentley. Hypothetically of course.
@JamieC if I was told I'd be paid on fight night then had to wait more than 2 weeks, then yeah I'd be pissed. For the work I do, I expect to be paid on time, every time, unless there are underlining circumstances.

BBBofC rules state you must be paid within 7 days of the fight.

The time requirements for paying a Boxer are laid down by the British Boxing Board of Control in the Rules and Regulations. These Rules and Regulations must be observed by all licence holders and a failure to do so could result in the Board bringing disciplinary proceedings against the party in breach.

Regulation 9.37 of the Board's Rules and Regulations require that:

9.37 Promoters shall pay the purse to the Boxer himself or to the Boxer's duly authorised representative if the Boxer so desires. Every Boxer being paid up to £3,000 shall be paid on the evening of the Contest and shall sign for his purse money in a book kept by the Promoter. Such book shall be open to inspection by the Board or Area Council if required. All purse moneys shall be paid within 7 days of the Contest taking place.

I trust that this answers all and any questions regarding payment of purse money to a Boxer.

I see other thread on other cesspit forum got removed, hopefully this forum has bigger balls.

TBH the idea of Witter not getting paid is sadly amusing to me given his effort in some fights it would be seen as karma, BUT seems he may not be only one.

Didn't know that. Thanks :good

Will be interesting to see if Eddie Hearn replies to Witter.

* He has retweeted Witter's tweet.

I can vouch for this forum's balls, I've seen them, and they're huge.

Problem is the board are powerless after the last struggle. Make any bans and a promoter can just buggar off to Luxembourg and it makes no difference to them whatsoever. The board literally have no power anymore.

This is what I think. Best thing to do is ban the promoter and say outright that no fighters will be ranked in this country unless fighting under the BBBoC rules and regs.

I'd also petition to the government saying that no other boxing should take place unless under British rega which forces the hand of a said promoter as I'm lead to believe BBBoC is nominated body by government. Just get the grey areas cleaned up and that's all she wrote.

The BBBoC are corrupt and incompetent. The fact they have a monopoly while fucking up on such a regular basis makes me fear for them being able to restrict anyone's trade. As for Witter's claims, if true, it's further worrying evidence of this particular promoter's financial standing and reliability.

Pathetic to delete the thread elsewhere really when it was only quoting someone else. Wonder if a certain promoter will try to sue Witter?
