    are dlh and mayweather both earning their payday ???????

    i think so both are busting their a$$ like crazy and i do believe regardless the outcome on may 5th both these athletes earned their money, no joke we seen everything they are not joking and are getting the easy way-out,
    boxing is not an easy sport, you can train as hard as you can but only one
    punch could end it all, it's a tough sport.......

    25m for dlh
    10m for pbf combined for 35m between the 2 not to include ppv and % live gate entrances, that's crazy

    now the other question would be will fans get their money's worth ? i hope so

        is your opinion, but sone people say they are not earning their money,
        remember we as fans all around will pay 54.99 for the fight+ all tickets,
        you dont' want to see any fighter quit after like the first 6 mins,
        or see some type of injury, you want to see them bust their a$$ til the last minute

            OK, I get your point.. I think that there's too much at stake for either figher to put in anything less than a 110% performance. For PBF, he's determined to stay undefeated and prove his greatness while DLH wants to also prove his greatness and keep his enormous marketability and draw. And for $ 55, they better have some really good undercards!...

                  true, tha main event is just too strong for this type of undercard that we will get on may 5th......maybe like vargas vs mayorga would be def worth it....just two fights

                    It's all relative.

                    Do they have a very dangerous and difficult job? Of course.

                    Do they bring in the fans to make crazy PPV money and gate/casino money? Yes (especially Oscar).

                    Do other fighters work extremely hard and end up getting paid like $2000 for a 10 round fight in some obscure fight? Happens all the time.

                    They work hard and put themselves at risk but so do unknown guys that many fans like to call "bums".
