The biggest thing that stands out is Chad Dawson vs Ward. Dumb on so many levels! Dawson drops down a weight class, takes half the money Ward gets and for what? Chad "Bad decision" Dawson.

Dawson is a head scratcher he makes horrible decisions and points fingers, very immature irresponsible person.

Mayweather and Klitschko are making serious $$$, goddayum. Bradley made big money and Ruslan made him earn every dollar. Nice to see LM and LP get respectable pay-days. Berto getting 7-figure salaries while Josesito makes 200k and Mares makes 375kLast edited by kiaba360; 06-26-2013, 01:00 PM.

Purses are dictated MORE by what the network offers the promoter for the rights to show the fight vs. the person's name.
Hopkins "may" be a bigger name but Hopkins is not a huge draw if he's not matched with the right opponent. Don't believe me? Look at the how poorly Hopkins vs Dawson I in L A drew. They had the audacity to put that on PPV.
Lastly, don't you all think Al Haymon has had PLENTY opportunities to sign Hopkins if he wanted Hopkins?
