"Not only did Paul Williams get a gift against Erislandy Lara, I'm told he got over $1 million for the fight while Lara's purse was $135,000."
I don't understand why boxing writers don't confront executives to their faces.....make them see how stupid their business decisions are...tell them you could have a guaranteed barnburner like rios vs soto for what you pay a shot paul williams...and it would do way more ratings/ gate....

Rios, Antillon and Lara COMBINED made less than Williams did on Saturday night.
that just shows al haymon's business savvy and how hbo's exlusive deals with fighters ruin their own network's budget.
