    Joshua Clottey will not fight again for less than a half a million.

    Former welterweight titlist Joshua Clottey hasn't fought since losing a lopsided decision to Manny Pacquiao in March, and he hasn't been interested in taking a fight unless it's for major money, Top Rank's Bob Arum said. "Clottey is looking for a fight, but he doesn't want to fight for less than half a million. Maybe you could talk him into fighting for $400,000. He's fat and happy right now because he got a great upside [from the pay-per-view] on the fight with Manny. Every month we send him more money." Arum said Clottey's purse was $1.25 million for the fight but that he's earned way more than that because his upside of $3 per home kicked in at 300,000 buys. Since the fight generated about 700,000 buys, that means Clottey will earn roughly an additional $1.2 million.

    Dan Rafael quick hits.

              Why should he when guys like Berto are getting a million for HBO.

              Then again he could have turned on the gas and beat Cotto, and at least tried to beat Pac so that doesnt help him.

              hmm Clottey vs Berto may be interesting.

                              lmao that was a good video. I never knew Clottey was so talkative. 'i don't wear a running shoe, I always wear a boxing shoe, and boxing shoe you always have to stand and fight, so I'm gonna fight him' -Clottey, LMAO that was classic.

                                      He'll fight again for less, once he runs out of cash.
