hbo offering 1.2 million for berto-aydin fight.

[onechance87]

Should HBO be making a fight that the fans care more about like Berto/Jones? I honestly don't care about Aydin especially after you told me that he sucks and can be outboxed.

Berto dont want to fight jones.

Berto already made like 1.2 million in his last fight , its gonna be hard to get him to take a paycut to fight a no name

Not if its means to avoid Mike Jones.

1.2 million? this is andre frickin berto we are talking about. undefeated official wbc belt champion here. respect the greatness and pay the man. 1.2 million is an insult we demand 1.2 billion!

[The Gambler1981]

it makes him money, having a belt handed to him...to pull even more turks to support him.


thats why HBO paying for this fight is bull****.......Berto wouldve been forced to fight Mike Jones or like i said, maybe even Mayweather(since floyds opponent has not been announced)...

Still though Aydin makes more long term is he goes out and beats Berto, then he can sit his happy ass in Turkey and just rake in the loot and wander back to the US whenever a big fight appears for him. Either way it works for Aydin though but even if he loses he can still go back to Turkey and is highly likely to get another shot at a strap.

I think Berto is alright but I don't really care to argue about him until he shows me that is some way I want to spend my time. I would hope for someone better than Aydin but Jones should still be there (especially if he is what he looks like) and hopefully he can build a bit more of a name.

Thats the deal though,Aydin knows he will lose.....evryone knows he would lose, he is not good at all, its good for him if the fight doesnt happen and Berto gets stripped......but since its the biggest payday right now, Aydin would take this fight in Turkey in a heartbeat(hoping for luck and hometown bias.)

no one cares about this fight....HBO could probably make a crazy good fight on the lower weight classes with this 1.2 mill.....thats my issue......if Berto wants to fight a non challenge to either duck or keep a trinket belt, let him do it overseas, where he doesnt burn HBO budget.....


again fu.ck HBO....

Which means berto will maybe get 800,000 grand to fight aydin.Do u think
berto will aceppt,Or ***** out?Berto better take this fight.

Like I said when I heard about it. Berto's pay cut will still be more than what Katsidis will make in the main event. Despite Berto bringing close to nothing to the table, HBO's pay scale/model is a ****ing joke.

Berto can't draw, isn't exciting, isn't an amazing talent, has been coddled and makes millions despite that. If he doesn't want it, he can **** off, seriously.

HBO could do a nice BAD card for 1.2 million.

Well the whole thing is if that is what they are thinking it is likely that Berto looks impressive and looking impressive against a guy with a glossy record (even if unknown) generally moves a guy forward.

HBO has spent a lot on Berto, they have two option keep pushing forward or cut their loses. They are obviously choosing the former so the best route (to me) is to put Berto in a good spot to look excellent then put him in with someone better then you make a decision on what to do.

I don't mind what HBO does much as I find most of ther fights watchable but they could certainly be more efficent with what they do. Why buy one fight when you can buy 3 fights for four times as much~
