Bradley to get $1.025M for Casamayor fight

[S.J. II]

$1.025M to a fight a 40-year old Casamayor or $1.5M to fight the best junior welterweight in the world, Amir Khan? Tough choice. The Bobster striked again.

I always get a chuckle when American boxers with less than 100 fans worldwide get paid these exorbitant sums of money, while guys like Brock Lesnar who are more popular than 100 Tim Bradley's combined get paychecks of $400K per fight. This shouldn't be happening.

its funny huh, no fans and their fans dont know who their fighters they root for are, lol, then you get fighters from other countries with solid fan bases, they make **** money, lesnar is a nice mma fighter but he deserves every penny he makes and more, lol, nyahahaha

[S.J. II]

then you get fighters from other countries with solid fan bases, they make **** money

I don't like this argument. American fans aren't going to come out in droves to watch you fight because you have a lot of fans in Slovenia or Indonesia. American fans aren't going to shell out their money for your fights because you have a lot of fans in Slovenia or Indonesia. If you can make these crazy sums of money in Slovenia and Indonesia with your humongous fan base, then do so. Then maybe you can demand to get paid that in America.

That's what's killing boxing. If Bradley didn't receive that guarantee from HBO, he would have fought Khan 4 months ago, no questions asked. Why bother with 1.4 mil when you can fight a 40 year old for 1.1?

exactly. . . Bradley said to himself: Should I risk getting my ass kicked for possibly 2.5 million (counting UK revenue and his guaranteed 1.4 from hbo)? OR should I fight Casamayor for a cool million, and then go from there?

He's a PUZZY! If Bradley was 100% confident in beating khan, like he had ben saying, he still would have foight him without a doubt. . . but he's not, so he doens't wanna take the risk. . . STRAIGHT SWERVED THE KING!

How do you guys find out how much fighters get paid? Is there like a website that posts it, or do you just have to follow twitters and articles?

In that case Bradley has to be the most over-paid athlete around.

Bradley deserves to get his arse kicked in this fight in an upset of epic proportion.

about 1 million more than he deserves.
