(APR 23) It looks like
Nicole Woods is not alone on
this issue that happened to her when trying to negotiate a fight in
Germany. WBAN has received this response from Melissa
"Huracan" Hernandez, and we just got ANOTHER response from
another boxer (we will not identify at this time) who also was
contacted by Mario Guedes of Germany.
Hernandez told WBAN, " Sue, Mario Guedes contacted me and Belinda
[Laracuente]
too via Facebook. We were offer a fight with Jessica Balogun in
Germany. Guedes was asking how much I would fight for and we told
him to make us an offer."
"We went back and forward for a while about asking for a purse. So I
asked for 10k and 3 plane tickets. He never contacted Belinda (Hernandez's manager} again after saying that the offer
was a joke and he had better offers. But when it came to me, he had harsh words towards me. Like me not being good enough for his
fighter and me being a joke as well but the harshest thing said was
about our great President Obama."
"In his words
'Stay in the United States and fight against Obama! Bye. '
This statement shows racist and hate towards our country and people.
I was enraged by these comments. If this is what we are looking
forward to if we go to Germany they don't need our talent."
