Why do boxing fans care about purses so much?

[M312]

Sometimes they would rather a fight didn't happen if their favourite boxer doesn't get a large %?

It's one of those ridiculous things about boxing.

Surely we all just want to see... Crazy idea... a fight?

[nacho daddy]

most boxing fans are gay so are very concerned with carrying purses

[Smash]

because they have to match their dresses

I just want to see fights but understand that the sport is called "Prize Fighting" for a reason and that the economics of the sport are why it operates the way it does.

When we don't get the fights we want we check to see the purse demands, to see if someone is pricing themselves out and might be to blame.

Because they are losers in life. It’s that simple. Successful people don’t have the time to worry about other peoples’ finances especially some ***in boxers that you seen on TV lol.

I’m a hardcore Boxing guy who only cares about watching good fights. Whatever these guys make don’t mean sht to me cuz i wont be getting a cut.

You are claiming that Whyte is out pricing himself by not accepting 20% on the other thread and stating a fight shouldn’t happen because of it , you realize he’s talking about posters like you right ?

Shyte is out pricing himself by asking for 45%.

An 80-20 purse split has historical precedence and is justified given the wide disparity between what Tyson Fury makes and what Dillian Shyte makes.

How many times does this have to be explained to you?

I don’t care what fighters earn because the money isn’t going into my pocket but i understand that it matters in negotiations, so it’s always a valid talking point when talking about future fights

He didn’t ask for 45% that is a starting point of negotiations, team Fury is the one who suggested 20% and did it to stall the fight from happening.

How many times have you ever explained anything to me ? , Like none because you know it always ends up being me wasting time explaining things to you . You are part of the problem on here , so I’ll explain it one more time .

Offering 20% to an interim champion isn’t even in their own rules which is why they are negotiating a reasonable number ,now you can continue to lie on the forum ,you do it well or just say you don’t like Whyte and don’t want to see Fury actually defend a title ,wouldn’t that be easier then look like you don’t know what you are talking about ?
