Wade/Golovkin Purse

You thought Wade would make more than 500k? 500k is more than I expected for him to fight on HBO, thats a lot of money, I was expecting him to get paid like 100k tops. 500k is a lot for a no name guy like Wade. Certainly not b/c of his market value or accomplishments, but b/c of the political nature of the situation. There were people talking about it going to purse bid and Haymon putting up a large bid to force it off HBO, possibly stripping Golovkin who's contractually tied to HBO. But the 75/25 split in favor of Golovkin probably killed that idea. The way Haymon over pays fighters, Wade probably made 250k fighting Soliman.

Same, how the hell does Wade get $500k? He literally has no name. It's not like all the other No name Golovkin opponents. Half of then you'd seen at least once. And, with guys like Monroe, you could at least find footage, even though he was unknown. Wade might as well be named "TBA".

Dam, they both getting gwap.

Same way you sustain your horrible posts day after day...they just do it... BOOM!! hahaha

Purses for Saturday: $2 million for @GGGBoxing, $500k for Dominic Wade.— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) April 22, 2016 Golovkin making as much to fight Wade as he did Lemieux. I would've thought Wade was making more than this given he easily crossed the line to fight on HBO. Hopefully this means it'll be easier to get more Haymon fighters on HBO.

Chocolatito $300k Arroyo $75k

Why is Golovkin getting so much flak? Ward got the same $2m for Paul Smith. Charles prince bum Martin got more than that and that man was awful. And stop comparing Wade to Monroe. All other Golovkins opponents got a lot more than Monroe. That guy really thought it would explode his popularity so he took an insanely low payday.

And the Chocolatito purse? Thanks

If lil g is making 2 million a bum, Almost half of HBO's budget is going to fund his BIG BUM SHOWS. HOW CAN THEY SUSTAIN THIS. Same way you sustain your horrible posts day after day...they just do it...

He was rated #3 without ever fighting at the weight. Same question, how does he become #3 without ever fighting at the weight? When you deal with the IBF (as I did for years), you pretty much ask them to rank you in the division you will be campaigning in. A pound or 2 over in non-title fights, or 6 and 8 rounders really doesnt matter, but its rare that EVERY fight on someones record would be over the limit. Usually its just one or 2 here and there....... but if nothing else, its great ammo for the GGG hate squad. "oh look, GGG dried out a guy who never fought at 160 before blah blah blah" lol

Almost 3 million for this card....that's why we gotta pay for fking fights like Crawford-Postal on PPV.... 2 mill to fight a bum is a joke but he's a star and the face of HBO with Canelo so I guess they gotta pay the guy...and good for Wade, that's more than he will probably ever make in a fight again.

That begs the questions how does one reach mandatory status having never fought in a weight class. IBF rules for mandos are it goes to #1 first (Tureano Johnson) who withdrew, then #2 which was vacant, and Wade was at #3. Technically he was not the mandatory challenger, but when the mandatory challenger (Johnson) withdrew then Wade became the highest available contender. He caught a break.....

ggg brings big drama show....bring in butts to the seats....brings high rating=big dough....good boy

It is interesting how there are a group of posters that claim Garcia and Thurman (just to name 2) getting $1.5 mil for bums hurts the sport because it's a disincentive to fight quality opposition but have yet to weigh in on if GGG getting $2 mil for a bum hurts the sport as well. you feel me? And Crawford getting 1.3 million for Lundy

Never. This is his first fight at the limit and his first scheduled 12 rounder. That begs the questions how does one reach mandatory status having never fought in a weight class.

WTF is Rafael talking about? Wade has never fought at 160? Never. This is his first fight at the limit and his first scheduled 12 rounder.

This goes to show you. The difference between Monroe and Wade? Al Haymon. Just having Haymon in his corner quintupled his purse. Thats exactly what I was thinking. Good for Wade

I think you meant Rohan Murdock, though the image of Rupert Murdoch in boxing gloves would be ****in hilarious. It was intentional b/c it's about equivalent.
