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?

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 375k :nonono:

B Hop should finish his career with Al Haymon. Al will get him what he deserves plus some.

B-Hop has ownership of the company so i think he's doing fine money wise plus it's about who you fight also. Thats why Floyds gurantee is bigger for Canelo than for Guerrero.

Hopkins was coming off a loss and Cloud isn't really known. But I agree. 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. To be honest it doesn't matter if Hopkins loss to Dawson didn't Berto come off a loss or two?, he is still a bigger name than Berto who gets paid over a million with only 5 fans who happen to be his family in attendance, Hopkins fighting for 750k is sad for a guy of B hops level. Hopkins really wasn't lying when he said he isn't fighting for money. I thought he was getting at least 2-3 million a fight. Dawson is a head scratcher he makes horrible decisions and points fingers, very immature irresponsible person.

Something is wrong here when guys like Berto makes more money than a legend like Bernard Hopkins who only got 750k for his fight. Berto is one of the most over hyped fighters in recent memory..I still don't get why this dude makes bank I guess Haymond?? It's all I got..

And why do you think Floyd is outthere promoting this fight too. Remember he said he aint have to do sh1t in promitinh the Guerrero fight cuz it was sold already. Lol yeah, that ain't work out too good. So Showtime said your not fighting khan or boring ass Alexander next. It's gonna be Canelo and your getting your ass outthere to promote it too buddy. I think Khan would do very well at the box office, plus Mayweather would also get a good share of PPV from Skysports.

Berto making a million for his fights since idk how long ago is a pathetic joke!!! Haymon don't care about nothing just getting money for the fighters. Good for them and bad for everyone else.

Fairly sure Froch & Kessler earned £2m (sterling) which is around $3m each. Right. The numbers from ekstrabladet was before it was made PPV in britain. PPV numbers in Denmark has not been disclosed, but the CEO of the broadcastet Viasat, has said that he was very very happy and that the numbers were excellent even by Kessler standards. He said that he was ready for a rubber match in a heartbeat.

Wow if he actually is guaranteed 40 mill he'll most likely break Delahoya's 53 million purse record after PPV sales. More then likely cause these tickets are alot more expensive than the Oscar vs Floyd fight and this fight is already basically sold-out. You already the PPV prices will be higher

I guess the 40 mill + he's guranteed for Canelo is really going to hurt some feelings

32 million. insane. too much really It's too much for a relatively limited low-profile opponent like Guerrero that's for sure. It's little wonder Showtime lost $12 million.

Fairly sure Froch & Kessler earned £2m (sterling) which is around $3m each. According to the DM, Haye got almost $4m with Chisora receiving $750k
