Bobby Gunn to Donate Percentage of Purse to Iran Barkley

World ranked Cruiserweight Bobby Gunn has announced that he will donate a percentage of his fight purse to former three division world champion Iran “The Blade” Barkley, following his August 25th title fight in Fairfax, Virginia. Gunn, who was the chief sparring partner for Barkley during his camp prior to winning the IBF Super Middleweight Championship from Darrin Van Horn, is happy to be giving back to a long time friend.

What is the exact percentage that's going to be donated?

 

10%

 

wonder if it's tax deductible.

 

Oh, wow.......so, basically Bobby is donating around $50 and that's worth an entire article on the homepage?

 

It's in the news section. Secondly it's not $50. And third I think it's a good example for other fighters who are probably well off.

Any more questions? Geez

 

Carlos I agree

I talked to Bobby Gunn and he is just trying to help an old friend and the reason they put out the press release is so that other Boxers take notice and maybe they will do the same. Former fighters get very little help. No Unions No pensions No Nothing !!

 

Shit how much of a tight fist can Jake be? $40? $45??
