Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Receiving $3 Million, Martinez Snagging $1.4

Damn this is supposed to be a big fight for Sergio but he's only getting 300k more than his usual salary

Let him get the title belt first, then he can start to make demands.

titles aint got nothing to do with it..its the drawing power that pays

Roach always plays games to deceive rival camp, that is why I don´t watch that stuff.

Did Roach arrange for Junior to get a very real DUI only a few weeks before his fight with Rubio to throw them off? And to correct myself I thought it was before the Lee fight. With that said, it is obvious to me that Junior lacks some serious discipline and I believe that alone will cost him dearly. After all this ain't Andy Lee he is fighting.

the purses should be flip flopped, sergio has paid his dues. but its all politcis anyways.

Didn't Pirog's handlers offer Martinez a fight overseas for 1.5 mill for the WBO strap about a year ago? If Martinez would have taken the fight and KO'd Pirog he could have demanded more against Chavez. He probably turned it down cuz he knew he can only win by KO in Pirogs hometown, Martinez should of taken the offer cuz at the time Pirog was 19-0, Martinez had way to much experience for him. Risky but worth the reward!

If junior doesn't make weight that's 20% purse deduction....600,000! Half would go to maravilla. 2.4 to 1.7 much fairer

I know Chavez will bring in more fans but ****, he's getting twice as much

Trust me jr will get much much more. He will get a bigger cut from the ppv and not to mention most if not all the money from the mexican tv station.

And SLOB ARUM make 10 million without busting a sweat!!!

arum makes a huge investment when he takes on a fighter like chavez jr, and it doesnt pay off for years.

promotors work their butts off. a sweat is broken.

Idk bout that. Hes been cashing in for a while imo. He signed chavez jr just for the name and when he did events, those actually did pretty decent in mexico fighting nobodies. What chavez is doing now is a big bonus for arum. Totally unexpected but welcomed. Making even more money off chavez now.
