    I didn't see tiger woods' fans going crazy about the $1B he'll make just for playing golf.
    Who is getting excited?

        Money makes news...It's just how **** works...it's part of the sport we love...we just supposed to ignore it because...Super Vet purists say..."its about the sport"????

        Thats silly...Money is a major factor in this sport...It is a major contributing factor on what fights are made and what fights will be made in the future.

        Ignore it if you want...but your turning a blind eye to a big portion of the sport.
        As fans we shouldn't give a **** about these guys' $. I like to know tough fighters who bust their asses for our entertainment get rewarded, but that's it. All the bitchin about amongst cats on here who don't see a ****in dime of the $ is ***** as **** homey. Female **** my ******.

          the only reason why sportscenter reports on salaries and **** is because in team sports, those teams that spend the most money usually (but not always) have the best squads.

          that has nothing to do with boxing as boxing is not a team sport.

          just because you get paid more money in boxing doesn't mean you are the better boxer. that's floyd stan's thinking, not cotto stans thinking, but cotto stans are looking really hypocritical right now.

          I don't give a ***** how much boxers get. I don't celebrate when a certain boxer gets a certain sum of money. all I want is for the fight to happen.

            Go back and find where I celebrated about Cotto getting 15 mil and you got me.

            The most I said was..."There getting Arab money"

              not talking about you specifically... but that comment is borderline floydish.
