Today's Talk Sport radio debate is about whether or not Harrison should have his fight purse withheld? He stands to make around £1 million and barely threw a punch. I think that withholding the entire purse would be a bit harsh, given that he took a real pummelling in round 3. However, maybe some of the purse should be withheld for lack of effort and lack of contribution to what was a very one-sided boxing match. Sends out the wrong message if a boxer gets paid a lot of money simply for defending himself over a few rounds. The only real winners, once again, are the sponsors and the pay-per-view tv channels.
