Popular American monster, Bob Sapp has been giving his side of the story when it comes to the reason why he didn’t take on Shinichi Suzukawa in a modified-rules bout on the Dynamite!! 2010 show on December 31st in Japan, explaining the promotion tried to offer him half the agreed purse because they are broke.Speaking via MMAJunkie.com Sapp explained that FEG executive Sadaharu Tanikawa offered him $15,000 shortly after he arrived in Japan, an offer he refused and made a counter offer of $25,000. It is also claimed that Sapp is already owed $50,000 for past appearances for the promotion.
Sapp went on to claim that various other executives continued to negotiate with him right up until the night of the fight and when it was clear he wasn’t going to fight at a knockdown price the promotion announced to the card that the American had lost his will to fight and had asked for more money. Hardly fair people…
