Even $10 million is a staggering figure, but for Floyd Sr. to be floating $50 million, wow! His feet aren’t firmly planted on the ground. He’s up in the clouds, dreaming stuff up and coming up with wild figures.
The Resume Reality Check
The fundamental problem is that the 23-year-old Schofield Jr. has an empty resume, barren of notable names. His best career win is 35-year-old Tevin Farmer, who came into their fight on June 28th with a three-fight losing streak. He was 0-3, a textbook example of a down-and-out fighter.
“We’re calling Tank out. If Mason wants to call us out, we’ll accept the fight. If Shakur wants to fight, we’ll go up to 140 and fight Shakur. Those guys don’t want to fight us,” said Floyd Schofield Sr. to MillCity Boxing.
Who Schofield Is Calling Out
“How could you say you’re not worth $10 million? I’m saying it to the people who are saying he’s [‘Kid Austin’] isn’t worth $10 million,” said Schofield Sr., defending his asking price of $10M for his son to fight the big names, Shakur, Tank, Haney, and Mason. “What price would they put on their kids if they died in that ring? If they can’t say they’re worth that price, that’s on them.”
What the Camp Is Really Saying
With Floyd Sr’s asking price, he’s not going to get any of the four names that he wants for his son, ‘Kid Austin’ to fight. What he needs to do is start from the bottom, fighting some of the contenders that are young, hungry, and on the rise. Jadier Herrera would be a good one. William Zepeda would be excellent as well. He’s the guy who softened up Farmer for Schofield to fight 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 should walk away with $50 million. We should eat off some of the advertising. We should eat off the concession stand and the ticket sales. If they come in with $10 million, we’re fighting now. It’s about the money. You can’t take this boxing stuff with you,” said Schofield Sr.
