Nonito Donaire Gets $350,000, Fernando Montiel, $250,000

[Check]

Very good money for fighters that weigh less than 120lbs.

Donaire is going to be a star here in a year or so if he continues to win.....he is getting paid to win and look good doing it. The lower weight divisions are lacking in "stars" and with Donaire coming from the Philippines like Pac, they are trying to use that link to sell him

After they pay everybody and pay taxes, I wonder if they will even get half that amount.

Thats huge money for a 115lb fight.

Fight is at 118.

I think that's only the HBO money btw. Donaire will have more money coming in from the flip TV and Montiel for the Mexican TV money. You guys have to remember that back in 2000 Barrera and Morales only got paid $300k each with no Mexican Tv money.

I am glad Nonito Donaire is getting his due.

By taking montiels away.....

Hopefully after headlining tonight, they both will create the demand to start making the millions. Is all about demand, not skills.

They need to stop revealing fighters' purses to fans. It's none of anyone's business but the fighters' and who's paying 'em. That ****'s personal. I don't see how it is a fan's concern; it's a disrespect to the fighter. Damn, boxing's boxing. Fight fans shouldn't giv a f ck, as long as these warriors are making nice bank for goin out there and layin it all on the line

[devildg]

after taxes and payrolls to their team members, thats chump change for both of them

[any craic lad?]

Still weird how this fight is on bad when it involves two top ten p4ps and two belts on the line even if they are fighting at 118
