Why doesnt the winner take the most money?

[The Noose]

Wouldnt that stop all this ego greedy ****.

Seems like many fighters arent willing to take the risk unless they get paaaaaid.

The winner getting a big chunk of the PRIZE would give them more insentive to win.

That would make the most sense wouldn't it? I really don't get it myself. All fights should have the winner getting more of the pot imo. It's like why try so hard if you know you're walking out with the same amount of money win lose or draw? Obviously your rep is on the line, but sometimes money is a big factor that could mean the difference between a guy quitting on his stool or continuing to fight.

It's what some of us have been suggesting for a while already. Myself and Sin City even wrote to Bob Arum / TopRank and mentioned it.

I agree…let them negotiate an even split and put a big chunk of purse money as a ‘bonus’ to the winner

[keepthemhandsup]

it common sense but you know people are just a bunch of greedy MF'ers

They should split it 40-40 with the winner taking the remaining 20%

That's the business of boxing. They do get a bonus if they win, like the PPV proceeds.

Fighters have to get paid win or lose so it'll get a tighter grip on the corruption. At least, that's the way i see it. Because one reason why Boxing is such a multi-million dollar enterprise is because of the betting.

For example: If the winner gets the most money, say $6 mil if he wins, but the odds are for him, then he can just throw the fight and get paid twice. A nice piece of change if he loses, but an even bigger piece of change from the bookies.

That's a fair deal. Win or lose, get paid. That's why fighters get in the game...to get paid. Lawyers get paid win or lose too.

Same thing with a shmuck job. A *****y worker still gets paid if he's a *****y lazy ass worker.

Boxing would be amazing if that happened

Because what's fair isn't always what's fair.

If you and I are gonna fight and 1,000 people show up and 900 show up because of me, lets say tickets go for 20 dollars a pop. That means I brought in 1,800 dollars, while you brought in 200 dollars.

That's not fair that you don't get the most money, but it's not fair that you'd get it off my name, either.

i agree 100%...im also a bigtime UFC fan and even in the ultimate ****fighting championships they have a system where winners get bonuses..
if boxing had atleast something similar to that, that would certainly have the boxers think about coming out as victors even moreso.. [is victors even a word?? u know like victory?]
