Purses for today wtf

W/e man If you dn't want to accept it, I don't care. OK sure it was under the table. I just hope he paid his taxes on that.

Said he made 2.5M for his fight vs fonfara. Maybe the check was signing bonus. W/e man If you dn't want to accept it, I don't care.

that's way too much. he did zero. he didn't try at all. he has no skill or talent. he was born big and fat so i guess he has luck on his side?

Haymon isn't mexican TV Said from Haymon LLC Said he made 2.5M for his fight vs fonfara. Maybe the check was signing bonus.

I believe that the check he posted was his purse but Chavez also got a check from the Mexican tv. That's what I remember Haymon isn't mexican TV Said from Haymon LLC

I was gonna post the Chavez Jrcheck, but figured you're going to dispute that anyway I believe that the check he posted was his purse but Chavez also got a check from the Mexican tv. That's what I remember

Areola got a lifetime free pizza gold card as well though...

That explains Arreola's condition, then.

Why TF is wilder getting 1.4mil to fight a guy anyone would have a chance of KO-ing at the bus station. Also no way 150k is worth if for Arreola his take home is only going to be 70-75k for what most likely will give him brain damage in 20yrs. Arreola just had another child and being a shot fighter at 35 he knows his paydays are over. He is desperate and needs cash he couldnt even afford to be at the weigh in,in person Arreola has no money at all based on the interview I saw before the Stiverne fights. He thought he was going to have some superstar championship career and make big $ because he's a latino HW, started buying everyone cars and ****. Has zero now. He's taking what he can get at this point.

Arreola offered nothing. They could have gotten anyone else to be a fat punching bag. 150k is pretty good.

You have any proof? I was gonna post the Chavez Jrcheck, but figured you're going to dispute that anyway

Sure, if that's all he wanted was money and didn't care about fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a heavyweight champion. Like I said, he surely knew this was his last shot at a title so he took it. It's easy for fans to say someone should pass on world championship because of money because most of us have no idea the long physical and emotional struggle a boxing career is, especially chasing a title and always coming up short. He literally cried after losing to Klitschko, it's obviously important to him and he's repeatedly said he wanted to become the first Mexican American heavyweight champion, it's about pride and fulfilment. You have to remember he's never been champion. It's not like in lower weight classes where it's almost comical how easy it's become to win titles. It's a lot harder at Heavyweight if you aren't one of the elite or get extremely lucky like Charles Martin. . Didn't say he shoulda passed...his manager needed to negotiate a better purse is all.

Yep there aren't divisions to move up or down(especially if you are a big heavyweight). Arreola was always a borderline talent to win a belt, but if he was lucky and ran into a Charles Martin type he could have been champion. Charles Martin is going to be the gold standard of winning the lottery in boxing......

I'm sure Arreola just wanted the opportunity at another title shot, and he probably knew it was his last chance at one. That alone is worth it to a guy like him. Face it, he's 35 years old and has had some tough losses and not really relevant anymore. He knew this was likely his last shot at winning a title. Guys like Broner, Garcia, they are still young and think plenty more opportunities will come there way. They still think they can get Miguel Cotto and Canelo type money. All the more reason why he should be trying to cash out...not take short money.

Well, fighting Arreola is like shopping in the bargain bin. Can't expect any high end purchases guys - it is Birmingham, Alabama after all. .99c store Capital.

The novelty would wear off when you realized you were walking away with probably half that for getting punched in the face by deontay wilder.Not even half, I would say close a quarter of that. Plus he will feel the beating for a week or more and may go crazy down the road from dementia and be broke while it's happening. Now who would take a beating for that?

Haymon pays them way more under table You have any proof?

The shot fighter brought in to take a beating gets 150k, shameful.

Dude was handed a title shot coming off a failed drug test NC and a couple of **** performances. He had no position to bargain, man... this isnt Haymon raiding Showtime and HBO anymore, he doesn't just throw around money to fighters from other promoters. I'm no fan of the guy but you're completely overlooking the fact that it was relatively short notice, nobody wanted it, and Chris was one of the few "names" they could get. It's not a value name but it's a recognizable one and that almost always translates to ratings. If they had no money to spend, then why are the undercard fighters getting paid the same or more? Your first statement also bolsters why it should have been more; it was a main event, HW TITLE shot.
