[LeG00N]

Morales deserves to be making at least 1 Million

[Drunk Punch]

That French dude just lucked out big time. He gets awarded a stripped/vacant belt then gets a mega payday to deliver it to the USA. Nice work. Tres bien!

Golden Boy seems to have taken good care of their fighters for this card. Those are some nice paydays overall.

Big fights, big money at Barclays Center

The newly opened Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., will host what is supposed to be the first of many regular boxing shows over the coming years on Saturday night (Showtime, 8 ET/PT plus preliminaries on Showtime Extreme at 7 p.m.).

Golden Boy Promotions has an exclusive deal with the building to provide those cards. The first one will feature four world title bouts – the first time there will be a world title bout in Brooklyn since 1931.

This card doesn’t come cheap. Showtime is paying Golden Boy -- its virtually exclusive fight provider -- big money to put on the card. Based on the purses, Showtime is likely putting up in the $4 million range to televise the card, a huge amount these days for a premium cable card.

Without further adieu, the purses for the entire show, as per the New York State Athletic Commission:

• Junior welterweight titlist Danny Garcia $1 million with challenger and former titlist Erik Morales getting $300,000.

• Welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi $350,000 and challenger Pablo Cesar Cano $150,000.

• Middleweight titlist Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam $400,000 and challenger “Kid Chocolate” Peter Quillin $150,000.

• Welterweight titlist Randall Bailey $500,000 and challenger and former junior welterweight titlist Devon Alexander $600,000.

• Middleweight Daniel Jacobs $15,000 and opponent Josh Luteran $11,000. (This is the main bout on Showtime Extreme.)

• Also on the card: welterweight Dmitriy Salita ($10,000) vs. Brandon Hoskins ($10,000); former welterweight titlist Luis Collazo ($15,000) vs. Steve Upsher ($8,000); junior middleweight Eddie Gomez ($5,000) vs. Saul Benitez ($3,000); junior middleweight Boyd Melson ($2,000) vs. Jason Thompson ($2,500).

That’s a grand total of $3,531,500 for the purses on the show, which has many other expenses as well.

thats good money, compared to:
donaire 750k
nishioka 100k
rios 500k
alvarado 150k

Donaire should be making more than Danny Garcia IMO. 3 division champ and all that. Still, I'm sure Uncle Bob's cut is 10x that.

The only ones that are really surprising to me are Devon Alexander getting 600k as the challenger. Thats way more than I expected, especially since he fell off the earth.

Paulie M getting 350k is kind of low considering he is probably a pretty big draw there.

[puga]

good for the ones making good money but the ones making 10 g's getting thier faces bashed in, **** sucks..

i expected for erik to make atleast 4 times more than that , hope he aint broke...

[elfag]

What a shame with Collazo. That Winky Wright attitude with money got him where he's at now.

Yeah Collazo only making 15k while they throw 900k combined at Bailey/Alexander. WTF... thats weird.


The only thing good for winky, from everything that Ive read about him, I think he has saved a lot of the money he did make from his big fights.

[ShoulderRoll]

Still, I'm sure Uncle Bob's cut is 10x that.

Exactly. The old buzzard has to wet his beak.
