[h=1]Billy Joe Saunders: World champion fined £100,000 for 'sickening' video[/h]British WBO middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders has been fined £100,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control for a social media video that police described as "sickening".

 

Saunders, 29, has apologised for the video, in which he tells a woman he will give her £150 worth of drugs to perform a sex act.

 

The BBBofC found him guilty of bringing the sport into disrepute and issued a severe reprimand as well as the fine.

 

The fine will go to a BBBofC charity.

 

The charity will use it to assist ex-boxers and ex-licence holders who have fallen on hard times.

Re: Fair punishment?

 

I think what he did was wrong and he should be punished but when I saw the 100K fine, I thought: "that it was harsh". One thing it does do is send out a strong message to other boxers who fight under a British licence to represent there self and the BBBofC in a good light.

 

I was expecting a 10K fine with 15K suspended for 2 years. A bit like a football fine.

Re: Fair punishment?

 

Fair? No. He can pay that out of small change. There's only one thing someone off the Hatfield travellers site would understand and thats a fucking good kicking.

 

The annoying thing is, in the ring, he's pretty good at running away and circling to a points victory, so I don't see a good hiding happening to the scrote anytime soon.

 

The other downside to him getting a beating in the ring is he is still actually making a boat load of money in doing so. It's not exactly a win win scenario :rant:
