Arum: Rios will earn more than Guerrero made for Floyd fight

[Joey_Torreo]

Arum stating Rios will earn more then $3,000,000 for his fight against Pacquiao and will make more than Robert Guerrero did for his fight against Floyd Mayweather.

Koncz said Marquez was offered $13 million (plus an upside of the pay-per-view profits), a raise over the minimum of $6 million he made for the December fight. When Marquez rejected the offer, Koncz said they offered Bradley $6 million to fight Pacquiao again, a raise from the minimum of $5 million he made for the June fight.

Terms of the deals Pacquiao and Rios agreed to were not disclosed, but Arum said that Rios would earn "more than Robert Guerrero made to fight Floyd on Saturday night." Guerrero's purse was $3 million.

Seems like a dig at Golden Boy and Richard Schaefer from my point of view.

definitely a dig. I never back arum but im glad someone is speaking out on the terrible purses they gave out on saturday.

OK? But how in the hell does that make it a good match up Arum?

Wonder If Khan will look to fight Mike Alvarado now?
Big money fight with Manny Pacquiao... well he was yapping on about how he thinks he can beat Mayweather he clearly wants a big pay-day and Manny would probably give a bigger payout!
Imagine short changing Robert like that...
Mayweather is a scumbag.

Pacquiao just got knocked the **** out, that's the huge difference...
I'm not sure on Khan beating Alvarado though, that's a different story.

So what if he got KTFO! Koncz is running around saying he can still beat Floyd and building him up to be a major fighter still! Does a win against Rios solidy that for you? Does this fight need to be a PPV when Rios is not even a top fighter in his own weight class, which is one below 147?

Khan beats Alvarado.

That ship has long since sailed, Manny isn't going to beating Mayweather I highly doubt that fight will happen at all :/...
If It does Mayweather will be 38 and Manny 37 or whatever age on the last fight of Mayweathers contract.
I think its not a bad thing him trying to get back into the swing of it with a less harder touch, it will still be a good fight too watch but I agree its not PPV worthy atall!!

Honestly the pay day should have gone to Alvarado, he won the rematch and it was his chance at a huge payday after the effort he put out.
