Why do boxing fans care about purses so much?

[baroidi]

I don't care for a fighter's purse for the most part, but when a fighter demands a ridiculous amount that they are not worth, then it matters because it's the big reason why fights are not made. Crawford is a prime example of someone who can't draw but demands huge money.

It usually comes from a lack of father figure when growing up. Boys in particular need a male role model from the age of 7-13, which are key development years. However, we instinctively find security in the achievements of people we like and as they succeed we develop an emotional bond, which gives us a sense of pride for their success.

Unfortunately, this often leads to a defensive mindset, where we become emotional when someone criticizes our chosen role model. This isn't ideal, but it is a coping mechanism that is vastly important within today's fractured communities and cosmopolitan society.

WBC addresses the mandatory situation for each weight class at convention

"Whyte is in arbitration with the WBC mainly over what the purse split would be. The WBC says 80-20, Whyte wants more."

So you agree entirely with what I said?

Purse split is not yet set. WBC have indicated they will go with 80/20 subject to arbitration.

You're apparently a high net wealth, high IQ guy. Show it.

[Marchegiano]

The delay is due to an ongoing legal dispute between Dillian Whyte and the WBC. It would be unreasonable and irrational to be frustrated with Fury because of it.

Most markets have to deal with that.

Did you not understand the point? I feel like I even gave an example.

Who else can say it makes sense so I don't have to deliver?

Usually a company has to see something like this in losses and which path gives them less losses. Plenty of people overpay for technology just to produce a good for their customer base. It is weird that youse never get frustrated and always understand. Doesn't matter how much you defend that or how logical it is, those are not responses that make sense to bring contrary to this observation.

The only thing that makes it not weird is an example of another market doing it.

WBC ordered 80-20, Whyte objected and the dispute will be settled in arbitration. You said the WBC hadn't ordered 80-20. You were wrong.

I was commenting on this from you: "Fury has had the luxury of holding up the division several, several, times and hardly having the carry the criticism because excuses doe. At a certain point one would think even his own fans would stop giving a **** and just be frustrated Tyson Fury is yet again at the center of a delay."

And the point I was making is that Fury is not at the centre of the delay we're talking about in this thread. A legal case brought by Dillian Whyte against the WBC is at the centre of the delay we're talking about here.

And the point I was making is that Fury is not at the centre of the delay we're talking about in this thread. The centre and sole reason for the delay is a legal case brought by Dillian Whyte against the WBC, which won't be resolved untl March 2022 at the earliest.
