Only another useless article by this writer.
    Contenders,

    Well, you can't ignore guys not getting paid a fair amount, and then later complain when fighters are selective about who they will or won't fight for x or y amount of money.

      But you touched on my point. The two fighters have generated the same sales (PBF/Pac). Floyd gets ten mil because he is a promotional free agent, and Pacquiao gets 2,3,4 Million because promoters are getting rich off him.
      Yeah, I think Baldo made $1.3 million or something like that.

      You're right though, there's plenty of fighters who deserve that kind of big money for their fights. Fighters that time=after-time bring in good PPV numbers and put butts in seats.

      Why wouldn't more fighters follow Floyd then and drop their promoters? I mean after their contracts expire and before re-signing. Or even buying out their contracts like Floyd did with Top Rank.

        I know, I think it's just me being tired of this guy's articles! I work in journalism though, so I can't help but read them!

        Anyway, $2 million for each would seem fair though, if it weren't for so many fighters making so much more for less exciting, crowd pleasing fights.

          Well, you should get paid proportionately to the revenues you generate.

          Pacquiao is a good draw. Barrera is not. Pacquiao should make much more than MAB.

            No doubt Pacquiao is an excellent draw, but Barrera wasn't that bad himself. I mean, not like he once was, but his fights in Vegas still brought in decent crowds. More than A LOT of fighters bring in.

            I'll admit though, I found it strange when I heard that both fighters made the same amount...being how Pac had a victory over Barrera and MAB was coming off a loss. Barrera's great career should count for something, but I honestly thought that Pac would be paid more MAB. Maybe $3 mil for Pac and the $2 mil for MAB.

              And in truth, MAB made more than Pac since he is a GBP equity partner and GBP made money off the fight.

                  wtf ? since when has barrera not been a good draw? you obviously talking right out of your ass now.. Barrera prolly had more fans supporting him then Pacquiao... Pacquiao maybe the champion but that doesnt mean barrera isnt a good draw.
