Cuz I can't think of any other fighter to receive such good money for accomplishing nothing. His best wins are a shot Ortiz and Yan Zevic. Since 2009, this guy has been on the literal gravy train, consistently getting million dollar pay days.
He even got 1.2mil for the Porter fight, more than Porter.
I thought people would know by now that it's not always about SkillspayBills.
If that was the case then Rigo would be the richest man in boxing right now. It's about how many tickets you sell and how many viewers you bring and Berto does those two very well.
Well right now I can't really think of anyone earning more than Berto that really doesn't deserve it, I guess Chavez Jr is definitely a candidate, he has to be up there along with Berto.]
Actually Ima change my answer here and say Berto isn't the worst guy for earning cash he doesn't deserve, Chavez Jr takes that biscuit because I'll give Berto credit when he goes into a fight he will atleast try and give us a fight Chavez Jr just took a giant paycheque and didn't do shiet!
Amir Khan gets big paydays because he's always in entertaining fights. Stop hating and worshipping cowards like brook.
I'm American fktard, couldn't care less about Brook..
Shut up punk Rainford only ingested 18 steroids and 6 marijuanas in the fighting match with Benjamin Southpole. Rainford is true P4P #1.
red k sent you sick son of a b*tch
He's fought very good competition throughout his career and he's put on some exciting fights. Not sure what the issue with him is. Better that than making the same money for fighting weak opposition, no?
Kenny Rainford takes the cake for me as the worst big name superstar fighter to continually get massive paydays for such a sh*t fighter, his whole meteoric rise was beating a shot, hung over Brian Sutherland, not to mention Kenny avoided VADA and was roided beyond levels we'd ever be able to comprehend

Rosado gets fights against the top guys but hes not banking million dollar purses each time. his purse vs GGG was 200,000
true, but still plenty of other guys who deserve these big profile fights more than he does.

Sometimes it pays to be a journeyman with 1 decent win and close fights with champions

Fans are hilarious.
Said it before and will say it again. Here's a fighters who does everything so-called boxing fans claim that casuals want to see: a world class offense-first talent with one punch KO power who throws EVERY punch with bad intentions, responds to get hit by becoming more offensively aggressive, and is absolutely willing to go out on his shield in pursuit of a victory.
Dude has been in involved in 2 legit FOTY candidates (Ortiz I; Guerrero) and multiple other action packed fights (Soto Karrass). Fights through swollen eyes (hello Kell Brook) and shoulder injuries (looking at you Pacquiao). A true kill-or-killed mentality.
And this is the fighter folks want to pocket watch? Sad, yet predictable.
i was taught from a very young age, never to sit around and count anyone else's money, because if you spend time doing that, you will not be focused on getting your own and you'll never be successful... that's what u ****ers are doing here, practicing being broke. as for berto supposedly not getting what he deserves, he deserves it because we live in a time now where fighters are getting to keep more of the money they generate with their own blood, sweat and tears, thanks to a good man who treats them like people and not just a dumb pug, like every manager and promoter has treated them ever since the beginning of the sport. in haymon, you have a guy who doesn't like the limelight, educates the fighters about the business side of things(something no one has EVER done), and takes less of out of their pockets than anyone ever has. the fact that it's shocking to many people like you that berto is getting a certain amount of money, is sad because it just shows how long fighters have been getting robbed blind in boxing, and as soon as they start being compensated, ppl can't understand it. if you're willing to get off this keyboard and get in shape and take some punches, you could get berto money too. i'm an entrepreneur, but if I were ever to work for someone else, i'd wanna work for haymon, someone who's willing to mentor, not just exploit people for cheap labor, like probably 99% of every employer in america
That's Berto's reward that Haymon gives him for being loyal. A lot of people don't know that Berto was one of the very fight signings that Haymon made and Berto stayed with him through thick and thin. That's why he gets paid this much.
Didnt know that. Hang on says your from manchester. So it means its a lie
Amir Khan is another one. He can beat guys with zero power but as soon as he faces a decent puncher its lights out. Fking Algieri had him doing the stanky leg in the first round of their fight. Yet the dude hangs around not even fighting and gets massive pay days for some reason. Cause he got fast hands doe.

berto's been pampered by haymon ever since he started as a professional. he was making seven figures as a major undercard fighter on hbo ppv events fighting duds. people often forget he lost to collazo back in '09
so if not the worst boxer in history to receive such paydays, most definitely the worst boxer in the past two decades
