Purses for Saturday: Berto: $1.625,000, Guerrero: 1,000,000

both deserved every penny of their purse

HBO house fighter lost and they were still praising him all the way. Berto will get another payday from HBO thanks to Al Haymon. yeah, as long as they match him up with a top/exciting fighter. he can go to showtime as well, since gbp does cards on their network too. man, both these dudes got paid tonight.

Wow both overpaid

A Big Pay Day for Berto and he is back on HBO...WOW! The Power Of Al Haymon!

I wonder how big a stable of fighters Haymon can continue to do this for? I don't know but I'm glad Santa Cruz will be able to get paid. He's one of the most consistently entertaining fighters in boxing.

The PED thing is not the biggest problem, people are shocked because Berto is not a big draw in terms of ticket sales or TV ratings. Not to mention he has yet to accomplish anything significant. I can understand that and I agree because those things are true, Berto's hasn't accomplished too much and his purse doesn't warrant what he himself can bring and generate. I made the comment because it seems as the PEDs was what everyone was focusing on despite the fact that the investigation proved that it was contamination.

Do we know if this is The Ghost's first million dollar payday? If it is, I'm happy for him. I'm sure his family went through a lot when his wife was sick, including him taking time off from boxing. This should take a lot off his shoulders. I just hope it doesn't make him lazy. As for Berto's purse... That's kinda how it goes I guess.

Wow Berto is nowhere near the top 10 P4P and he has never beaten a true elite fighter in his life yet he's making more money than Martinez did in his ppv against Chavez Jr. Disgusting. I wonder how big a stable of fighters Haymon can continue to do this for?

I guess since nobody will mention it I will, The evidence from Berto's investigation pointed to contamination, not from someone actively using PEDs. Do people not care about the facts? The PED thing is not the biggest problem, people are shocked because Berto is not a big draw in terms of ticket sales or TV ratings. Not to mention he has yet to accomplish anything significant. I will never understand how UFC's biggest stars (GSP, Silva, Lesnar, Bones Jones) get paid 400K per fight, but unknown American boxers get paid 1.625M for a fight on regular HBO that maybe 1.25 million Americans will tune in to watch. Because Dana White keeps all the money. Sooner or later these fighters will realize how much they're getting screwed and they'll start their own promotion companies.

To those who ask what AL-Haymon does? This is what he does, even if you have 0 fans, 0 drawing power and get busted for peds, he still extort HBO into giving you close to 2mil...... Dude prolly takes 80% of Berto's money..... Berto doesnt even get much hype too. I dont know how they even get the money to pay this guy. Guerrero seems a BIT overpaid but I'm biased towards him since I like the dude but he seems close at least to what he should be making....unlike Berto... Berto must give some mean head or somethin'...

very nice paydays for both

Both are way overpayed. I wish networks would make better use of their budget

Wait I thought Guererro had cancer, it's his wife that does? No, Robert just looks like he had cancer because he is balding and sickly looking. It was his wife that was battling with illness but thankfully she is better now.

Damn they payin Guerrero taco meat on this one. you ask me he kinda got pimped out.

Andre Berto was overpaid before he was caught doping, and he's still overpaid after he got caught. What's new.
