    Thats besides the point.

    Both these fighters already appeal to a bigger paying audience than many other American and European fighters who get paid considerably more and thats with manny and Erik not really speaking English.

    The plain truth is they are getting ripped off.

        Im not sure but to put things in perspective, Morales got paid about 2.5 million to fight Barrera a 3rd time (Barrera got less than 2 million), in front of a sold out crowd and killed in PPV sales.

        While PBF got paid over well over 3 million to fight chop chop on regular HBO in an empty Arena. And complained to fight Branco because he was ONLY offered 3 million.

            I think Americans buy more PPVs than any other group.

              Dude,

              you are missing the point,

              fighters who not only dont sell PPV's but cant even sell out an Arena get paid more. You honestly think they are getting paid right or what?

                I dont understand why they pay Mayweather that kinda money, and stiff Barrera, and Pacman, Mayweathers boring as hell, maybe its cause the rich people like him , or they like his skill that much, dont want to upset him, but serously boxing needs to pay fighters without a belt equaly or something, so moneys less than an issue.

                  Nah, but the fact is fighter's in heavier weights appeal more to the general public than the lower weight classes. There is too much talent out there for everyone to get paid 10 million a fight. **** can't happen, and the result is the that lighter guys will always get shortchanged.

                      Here is another example, Vitali got paid 5.5M to fight Danny Williams and the ppv sales were lousy as hell.

                      As a matter a fact Morales vs Barrera III PPV sold twice as much and their purse combined are still short of Vitali's.
