Purses for Saturday: Donaire: $1 million, Arce: $800,000(plus Mexican TV)

Seems like Arce is getting overpaid. I would assume most people tuning into the fight are watching Donaire and assume it's a landslide victory for him. Arce really isn't bringing in any viewers. I would of thought around the million mark for Donaire and about 300,000 for Arce. Honestly, this fight sucks. Donaire should beat this guy down in a few rounds.

Arce is popular with the Mexican fans, a lot of Mexicans will tune in. Notice Donaire's ratings are mediocre when he fights a non-Mexican. What was his best one, 1.2million against Montiel? The rest were pretty mediocre.

Can't believe HBO is actually putting up $1.8Million for this crappy ass fight. This fight is worth $500k at best.

Yea am surprise too, I mean Arce is done but I know he still brings Mexican fans to the table, but still can't believe this fight was approved by HBO.

Even more of a reason for Arce to retire after this ass whupping.

they don't.
The purses are made by money from TV Networks, sponsors, the venue is actually paying for hosting the fight (it will attract a big audience who will spend money in the venue and surrounding areas)and the promoter is adding their money as well and the estimated money they are getting from a live gate and PPV(if thats the case)

surprised Arce is getting that much gwap. perhaps cause he's a veteran of the sport. either way good for them both.

HBO is a TV network.

I would appreciate some help, how do you start a thread? I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe i can't do it from my phone, anybody?

Damn Arce was smart to pull out of the fight earlier this year, he forced Arum to throw more money at him.
