Boxing needs to introduce the 'Nash Law'. Winner gets 80%, loser gets 20%, draw 50-50. And that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Nash says so. Nash out
Why do boxing fans care about purses so much?

They care when it is helpful to them or fits a narrative, same as the boxers themselves. Notice in threads like the Whyte one no one brings up Usyk a undisputed pound for pound challenger getting like 30% of total vs AJ because it doesn't matter because Usyk didn't care about purse he cared about the fight. The only people talking about purses should be the teams involved.Comment

In most sport you are paid for what you accomplished not what you might accomplish.
Unless you're talking the pus*y a*s sports like golf, tennis, and synchronized swimming, then they do it your way.Comment

His way lives up to the name prize fighting. A purse negotiated before the fight isn't a prize.Comment

This is the way to get guys fighting. Boxers crying and turning down fights over 5-10%. If they are as good as they think they are, they'd do it on there terms put out by Nash. Here are Nash's thoughts, using one potential fight as an example. Crawford vs Spence has been in the making for about 5 years (4 considering Spence's joyride) Both "want" 60%. Why? Because that way it seems they aren't terrified of the other guy and it's the easy excuse.The fact is, Spence sees Crawford as his biggest threat and is terrified of losing to him, And Crawford sees Spence the same way, and both know, they can fool their fanbase with the 60-40, A-side, bull****. Nash out.Comment

What we need to do is avoid all this 'purse' talk, it sounds affected and go with the London Prize Ring term of "Battle-Money." Now that's something a man can fight for.
LPR Rule 1853 #21
21. That due notice shall be given by the stakeholder of the day and place where the battle-money is to be given up . . .Comment

Your way would see fighters avoid tougher fights though. Why risk only making 20% against the tough fight when i can get 80% against the easy one.

I don't think they'd rather a fight didn't happen. However, if a fight isn't happening, there is usually a business reason why and then the fans of each fighter argue over who is at fault.
The problem is that you end up with a bunch of inexperienced uneducated amateur opinions from people who are convinced they are experts because they watched a few youtube videos of their favorite promoter.

Why did you post the old WBC rules that no longer appear in the rules section of the WBC website to try to fool everyone?Comment

Why did you eat yourself into the michelin man?
Why did you lie about making million dollar bets when you live in an ****ty little apartment?
Why did you argue Wilder deserved 50% against Joshua when Wilder was making less than 2 mil a fight and Joshua was making 30+, but now say Whyte deserves 20?
Go pick up your man boobs off the floor and gtfoh.Comment
