Berto making $1.25 mill for Hernandez fight, Martinez made $1 mill for Williams

The Power of Al Haymon....HBO is his cash cow.

You hit the nail on the head. You would not believe how much Williams and Berto have benefited because of Al. The reason they got bigger purses than warranted is because HBO wants to keep Al happy. See Al has another fighter who is the ultimate cash cow for HBO. Berto and Williams can thank Floyd indirectly for their handsome purses.

Hernandez stinks too, that guy was getting beat up by Roberto Garcia.

Nah Williams got 2 million compared to 1 and a bit for Martinez.

Yea... That actually makes more sense and more believable.

Prime example of everything thats wrong with boxing. This is why Berto won't fight Cotto or anyone, he's getting ****** rich fighting bums.

i dont believe this s hit unless i read an article here in boxingscene that they made that much. sold 5k tickets but they both made millions. BS. HBO paid millions for this fight. BS

Rediculous right?

[Bastian Loc]

Agree 1000%. But Martinez came into the round second on Saturday.

They at least gave him that. I'll bet Williams got paid more though, even though sergio is the champ and even though Williams got schooled by Cintron.

blame hbo/haymon.


Cancer to boxing.

If you download the HD video of the Williams-Martinez fight, you can see the expression on the face of Al Haymon when Williams went down (shock) and remained motionless (Haymon looked to be in pain)!

He is sitting beside Goossen.

It was for the Lineal Middleweight Championship of the world. Do you know that Pavlik got 2.5 million for fighting Gary Lockett on HBO? If you did not, now you do.

HBO made a poor investment.
