[MulaKO]

Yes I love paying to see my favorite band only to hear tonedeaf people singing and screaming all around me.

Stay home and listen to the cd

[Smash]

Fake news! I've yet to read anyone on here claiming that they get paid less.....

LMB u have a short short memory

bud crawford getting 2.5 mil is less than what his pay with arum was and far less than what he would have earned for many many years for a fight less is less and more is more see how that works

[Marchegiano]

there are people on here arguing the opposite they actually get paid less not more on these saudi cards

Oh no ****? i dunno tbh, I just assumed.

Come on Smash, you know the $3 million per fight Bud was earning with Arum was based on a contract with no PPV upside. After leaving Arum and signing on to fight Spence, Bud received a lesser guaranteed amount than $3 million but with a PPV upend that entitled him to receive a percentage after a certain amount of PPV buys. The pay contract he signed when he fought Spence is the same type of contract he was under when he fought Madrimov, but with a higher guarantee, which was $2. 7 million.

Why is that so difficult to understand? Are you just flat out refusing to believe that Bud agreed to a lower guarantee but a high PPV upend deal after he left Arum?

Wrong, what I said was that $2.5 million was the guaranteed amount plus PPV upend, but the PPV sales were terrible. I also agreed with another poster that he could have very well made more money on a side deal to make up for the loss in projected PPV upend. But the $2.5 million guarantee is a factual amount that can be verified by Public Records...

but u are not allowed to do side deals in cali remember? its against the law and not entered into public record what u earn from an event must be entered into public record or else

It is not just the atmosphere, having to travel there and deal with the jet lag is another thing too. I think it takes away from fighters who just fight in Vegas or Europe because now they have to train at home, then deal with a week or two of getting used to the time change.
