    Nard don't want to fight Winky cuz he will only make 4-5 mills???, who can Nard fight and make more than that???

    I think that Nard knows he can get his old ass beat by Winky...Nard got *** up by himself, he didn't gave Tito's rematch right away and now he lost his big payday....

      He can fight winner of Tarver-Johnson for more than that. Thats what he wants to do for his legacy.

        I admired Wright because he had tremendous skills, yet he was a humble guy. If he turns into the next James Toney, I will root for either Hopkins or Taylor to put him in his place.

            What makes you think Tarver or Johnson will give him a higher payday than Winky? Those two fighters combined are being paid what Winky Wright was paid for Saturday.

              Wright a quiet man? I doubt it. He will be talking now for all the years he felt outshined and could not say anything.

                Wright made 5 million because of his opponent. He was not paid because of his achievements or the entertainment he provides. Things could start to be good for Wright now.

                  He was still paid $4 million (this is what HBO stated on the telecast) for fighting. They could have found Joe Dirt to fight if Tito's opponent was irrelevant. Winky was paid what he was paid because he was a respected fighter that Tito needed to fight.

                  He just outclassed the biggest 160lb draw in the sport while the other two beat a fading Roy Jones and will fight one another in a fight that won't be PPV. No way does Tarver or Johnson net more money for Hopkins than Winky.

                    I am not saying that Wright is bad. He is amazing actually. I mean that Wright got that because against Trinidad, a boxer makes a lot of money. Take for example Hopkins. I don't remember what he got in the Trinidad fight, but I think it was a million or more. Then, he was fighting Joppy for 350,000 and that was after dominating Trinidad and stopping him in the 12th. Get my point now?

                      I got your point initially and it is a damn fine one. Kind of sucks when nobody refutes your point though.

                      Wright got that because he was fighting Trinidad but it also had to do with him being Winky Wright. Do you think Trinidad facing Felix Sturm would have drawn as much? Do you think Sturm would be paid 4 or $5 million to fight Tito? I don't. Wright is now a draw after beating one of the top draws in the sport; one who came off an EXTREMELY impressive fight with Mayorga. Tarver (if he wins) beat a washed up Roy Jones and Glen Coffee in his previous two fights. I don't see how that would net Hopkins much money.
