WBA junior welter-weight titlist, ‘Vicious” Vivian Harris told Boxingtalk.com, “When they wanted me and Zab to fight on the (June 7th) Arturo Gatti card he overpriced himself. And I didn’t say anything about that, and they wanted to give him $250,000, but he didn’t want to take that because he felt he should fight for more.

If me and my people think I should get more money to fight him than they are offering, I think I should get more money to fight him. And Zab shouldn’t talk about it not being about the money, because if it wasn’t about the money, and if that was true, we would have been fought.

He wouldn’t fight me when they offered him the fight because the money wasn’t enough, but now he wants to say it’s not about the money. I want the fight he wants the fight, and the public wants the fight, so if the money is right we’re going to fight.” Read on to see what else one of the best junior welterweights in the world had to say.

GL: But Viv, now he’s saying he’d fight you for nothing, even if the money isn’t right?

VH: Now he’s ready to fight when the money ain’t right, but I want to fight for the money, ya feel me? The public is interested and I think the fight is worth money.

GL: Zab also talked about how you’re only fighting for the money when you should be fighting to prove you’re the best.

VH: If you ask the world, the world knows I’m the best. It’s just going to be a matter of time with me beating a couple fighters like Zab, and I’m not even putting Zab in my league anymore because Zab is not a fighter anymore. I’m looking at Kostya Tszyu, that’s who I want to fight the most. But with Zab, I know Don King could make the fight possible, if he makes it happen, then we will fight on December 13th. I’ve been in the gym, I’m ready, and if they make it happen we’ll fight. Otherwise I’ll be fighting on HBO on January 24th.

Zab told you that he would fight me winner take all, okay, let’s put both of our purses together and we could do it winner take all! Since the money means nothing to him, we should be able to do it like that. Let’s combine the purses, make it winner take all, and we’ll fight on December 13th.Since he’s saying the money means nothing to him, let’s do it like that, and the fight is on. (Boxingtalk)
