They need to limit fighters salaries!

[Sin City]

Well I agree, in this particular instance it has robbed fans of a fight most would like to see. But, a certain amount of money is going to be made on each fight, don't you think the fighters deserve as much of it as they can make?

true! it's just frustrating seeing all the if it makes money it makes sense bull**** and us getting robbed of the best fights because of financial ****.
De La Hoya was one of my favs in the past and I still like him but he really is becoming a nuisance and is getting very annoying, he needs to go kick rocks on the real!

I don't even like Tarver but I think this is a perfect time to quote him, I think it was Larry Merchant that asked him about a bout w/ Dawson and Larry said are you going to ask for to much money and price yourself out and Tarver said " I don't know how much your life is worth to you, but we put our life on the line and ain't no money too much." Or something like that. I don't know about you but I agree. What actually needs to happen is promoters and everybody behind the scenes w/ their hands out need to take the pay cut.

This thread is ****...

Fighters put their life on the line, and bring in the crowds..

Who should keep the Money? Don King? Bob Arum? Golden Boy Promotions?

There are only a very select few that make the 20Mil, people are fighters because they want to get paid.

Its called Prizefighting for a reason, sure fighters fight for pride,country,family, ect...

But the main thing they fight for is $$$$$$

Lol? high salaries is what keep these fighters hungry

[MikeBrew328]

Are you kidding me? Too MUCH money? What do you expect a fighter to do when they retire? They need something later in life... A lot of money should give incentive to fight more.

its what the market bares.
look at the demographics of ppv's
you got porcupineheads paying still to watch lackey trinidad.
and i bet the tyson children would pay to watch mike fight a pizza delivery boy.
when idiots throw money at this crap it sends a signal to ppv to keep feeding them ****. and theyll eat it.

[!! AI-Holmes!!]

if the money is generated, claim your share..

Who the **** is the Author of this thread to try to discredit a fighters salary? These guys risk there lives in the ring. On the subject of PPVs. A grown man who cant come up with $50 to do something he wants to do is pathetic.

every other sport besides baseball has a cap and im not saying they should starve them either.. if you knew how to read you would know that.
I don't think DLH or Mayweather deserved the money they got last Cinco De Mayo.. I seen cats do a hundred times better then that getting payed **** and who the **** is talking about the cost of PPV? I never said I had a problem paying 50 bucks you douche.
