James Toney calls Rampage a slave

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson hasn’t been too happy with the UFC lately, calling out the promotion for the perceived poor treatment he has received. Jackson plans to part ways with the UFC after his next fight against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and he might even give the sweet science a try.

Jackson wants to face James Toney inside the boxing ring, but the former NABA heavyweight champion doesn’t seem too interested. James shared his thoughts on “Rampage” in a recent interview with Elie Seckbach.

“That's what you get for being a slave to the white man,” Toney said. “Don't be scared. Step up and speak for yourself. That's why I got paid the million-and-a-half dollars and am still getting paid by the UFC. You know what I'm sayin'? The highest paid fighter ever. You feel me, fat boy? Me. And you been there...what, twenty years and you're getting paid pennies? While I make millions? Rampage, if you wanna fight me boy? Come on down to the gym and I'll give you a job. ... You could be the sparring partner. I pay $50 for a sparring partner.”
