Guys I truly believe Browne and his camp that his sample was tampered with. Here is the latest news on this drama.....http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/lucas-browne-update-330862

Yes, it appears he was set up by the Muslims. Here's another article about it:It looks like Lucas Browne passed a polygraph test. I really think he was set up.

I don't trust VADA.
Why would Browne volunteer to do testing if he was dirty?
Browne got his clock cleaned in this one sided beat down.
Showing up to the fight with a feedbag for a belly didn't help his cause. Also he was a good decade older than Whyte, this probably spells the end of Browne at the world level. Whyte will probably get his clock cleaned by Wilder at some point this year as he is the mandatory for the WBC belt.
Browne did a formulaic rise to the top ten of the corrupt rankings of the sport. If you fight out of the Asia Pacific area, you just need to win a regional belt and you will be a top 10 fighter. That's why many times mandatory contenders from Oz have been blown out by long standing champions.This guy was never more than a tough man contest type.
That said, much luck to him in his future bar bouncer career.
You just have to google it. It's pretty spotty in foreign locations though. I know in many states the commissions release the purses for fights, also when there is a super fight like Gayfeather vs Pacman the promoters gladly release the minimum purses as it hypes the fight as an event.Off topic here, but do any of you guys know where you can go to see fight purses? I've had marginal luck just by searching for it in bing or google, but most of the time I can't find them.

Back in the day when the Mafia and other ethnic organized crime groups controlled boxing, mob connected fighters got paid what the mobster felt the fighter would take. Sonny Liston who was illiterate probably never got anything close to what was written on paper. Even Mike Tyson was never paid what he should have been by mob connected crook Don King, his tax problems were partially due to this.Good question but who knows what the true numbers are in a shady racketeer-run sports-entertainment sport like boxing, with all the crooks getting their cut and their hands in the pie and payoffs to everyone and their brother and consigliere, trainers, managers, match makers, the alphabet gangs, doc margaret and her vada crew...Exactly how much does the boxer himself wind up with? What number does he put down on his tax return? How much does he really get but not put down? How much does he put down but not really get? Except for the big names with the connections most boxers fight for chicken feed, with no health insurance or sick leave, etc.
