Why do boxing fans care about purses so much?

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.

You’re asz backwards.

Let's be honest here, the real problem is the ********. Remember back in the day when a smart promoter could factor several 'large breasted' women into the equation to compensate for giving up a few percentage points? Not any more boy, try that today and watch how fast you get 'canceled' on Facebook.

So much has been lost over the decades, the fight game just isn't what it use to be. Sad!

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 mean this only in 1 vs 2 fights. Like when it's clear who 1 vs 2 is in the division, such as Spence vs Crawford as been the fight for years, it should be called out for a fight, and if they can't agree terms within a short period of time they have to put the excuse down, man-up, and fight on the terms laid down by the great Nash. Nash out.

No not really - that's how an NFL QB negotiates his salary today, based on what he did, not on what he might do.

It's why Ruth held out in 1926, he had already put up enough HRS and wanted to be compensated for them.

Promises are not good bargaining chips, statistics are.

Those are all salaried team sports. Even then, the winners get paid for winning.

A lot of NBA players come in at 19-20 then get their first big extension , $100 million guaranteed plus sometimes, before they do anything based one what they might be.
Lots of NFL quarterbacks get big money before they do anything. Jimmy Garapolo got a $100 million deal from the 49ers and he started less than 10 games his first 4 years.

Many of the top paid NFL players take a pay-cut for playoff games ('paid for winning'). I.e. they make more per season game than they do for winning playoff games.

Yes very true - but also now qualified - at least in the NFL, with certain limitations placed on salaries offered to rookies. This came about by way of the Players Association who wanted to know why someone who never played a single game was making more than them.

I can't speak to the NBA.

But in the case of the established players, both in MLB and the NFL the really big contracts (long term) goes to the proven player and that comes with stats.

Aaron Rodgers got first round draft money when he was a rookie - you know that number doesn't come close to today's salary.

Purses are what make fights happen. Therefore they're also what makes fights not happen.

In the Fury v Whyte case I think we've got two teams who are petitioning the org instead of negotiating. It's not good for the division. It's a mandatory fight - it's the element of boxing that keeps it as being some kind of sport - these are supposed to be the easiest ones to make.

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?

Ok, so you admit your purposely posted old rules to try to fool everyone? And you're attacking me personally because you got caught trying to fool everyone?
