Bradley's overpaid compared to Martinez?

[Craveman]

I don't get this. Bradley gets $1 million for the Casamayor fight. (undercard)
Martinez gets $1.4 million in a BIG middleweight fight, there not much difference between these two guys purse. But a BIG difference in popularity!
Where's the logic?

Top Rank. Bradley got all the money in that card. Plus hes the guy they sold Pacs soul for what do you expect?

Ask Arum how well is it paying off for him (Arum) now.

Rewind.

HBO REALLY, REALLY REALLY wanted to make Bradley-Alexander, the two best fighters at 140. They thought it was going to be a great fight, it wasn't. But what happened was HBO PROMISED both bradley & alexander $1 million+ paydays to the winner & loser in their immediate fight. That's why bradley got that much for fighting a washed up guy.

That's my memory of it anyway.

Sergio's opponent managed to take a high % of what HBO was willing to front for the guarantee.
