As it has already been mentioned, Rivera was a late replacement since the original opponent had to drop out.
Those guys don't get big paychecks usually.
There isn't never ending money. They would pay LSC less if they gave Rivera more.
I suppose he could have refused the fight.
20k doe, he could have given him a bigger slice.
Calm your tits bro the WBC has ordered Santa Cruz and Russel to fight next. GRJ fights once a year in the summer so I expect it to happen then.
WBC ANNUAL CONVENTION; Kyiv, Ukraine.�� Gary Russell �� must face Leo Santa Cruz as mandatory.— World Boxing Council (@WBCBoxing) October 3, 2018
Calm my **** lmfao good one. I think he is good but I want to see him step up
How is that possible?? That is pathetic that guy (Rivera) should get some decent money too.
Hell yea, 20k that's it? If Santa is getting 1M, Rivera should get at least 100k. THis is crazy!!!
Whoever wants it we ready!
https://photo.boxingscene.com/uploads/leo-santa-cruz_2.jpgfool why you acting like santa cruz didn't already duck gary russell jr. he also ducked rigondeaux hard when he was at 122lb. santa cruz is a coward who kisses al gaymon's ass so that he can get big paydays fighting bums.
Yes I am really looking forward to seeing this card tonight; Especially since it's on free network television too.this card is a joke. the main event is a horrible mismatch where the underdog has no shot at winning. and the undercard is a fight between two old bums with brain damage. I hope you at least getting paid to post garbage like that you don't really believe that LMAO!
Whoever wants it we ready!

Bs he! His biggest win was a washed up mares. Try again can boy. Dude come on I roll with GGG but he is activing diva like and he fought a few no hopers instead of testing himself. See it’s not that hard bro
I thought al gaymon takes care of fighters lol 20k is a joke! he's going to get a guaranteed beatdown for less than that after the guy pays his trainer cutman and taxes LMAO!
If you are complaining about him getting a million for this fight, then you will be even more upset when you realize that figure isn't even the final amount lol. Keith Idec said someyhing along these lines on the Chris Mannix podcast regarding Gervonta Davis' one million purse, "It was reported he made a million for the fight, but trust me he made significantly more than that."
And Rivera will get more than 20k himself.
It’s the famous cheque from big Al that will make the difference
I also believe Rivera will make much more than 20k
If this is true (who knows, probably not) cudos to Leo. I just don't see what he's done to deserve a million for this mismatch.

LSC doesn't need to step up if he can make good money fighting at the level he is. He seems comfortable where he is instead of chasing a legacy. It blows..
He’s been making 750k-1 mill a fight for a loooong time. Dudes low key balling.
For some of his fights (Frampton 2x, Mares at least once) but not this crap fight.
I take back what I posted earlier. Rivera is not a bum. He is actually quite good, but my guess is LSC thinks he is a bum and plus the limited time he had to choose a late replacement he ok'd the fight.
