Floyd Schofield Sr. says Abdullah Mason turned down two opportunities to fight Kid Austin Schofield despite Team Schofield accepting the proposed financial terms. The trainer claims his side agreed to every condition presented before negotiations broke down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe offered him to fight twice,\u201d Schofield Sr. said to MillCity Boxing. \u201cI spoke to J. Prince on the phone myself. He said, \u2018Would you take a million dollars?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yes.\u2019 He said, \u2018Well, you\u2019re not going to get a million. You\u2019re going to get $750,000.\u2019 I said, \u2018We\u2019ll take it.\u2019 They turned the fight down twice. So why are you offering me somebody who don\u2019t want to fight us?\u201d<\/p>\n

Schofield Sr. maintained that his side accepted every condition that was presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sent the contract. We accepted all their terms and they ran with their tails. We accepted his terms and he ran. He don\u2019t want to fight us. So why are we talking about Mason?\u201d Schofield Sr. said.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged Mason\u2019s ability but rejected the idea that his son is avoiding the unbeaten contender.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbdullah is not a threat for us. Sorry. He\u2019s a great fighter. He got a lot of skills and abilities. He\u2019s not a threat for us. Him and my son would make a good fight. That\u2019s why I offered it to him twice.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Mason apparently no longer part of their immediate plans, Schofield Sr. said Team Schofield is focused on pursuing the biggest available fights at lightweight, beginning with WBA champion Lucas Bahdi and other titleholders rather than revisiting negotiations that he believes have already gone nowhere.<\/p>\n
