Comments Thread For: King Eyes $2 Million For Stiverne's Klitschko Purse?

[joe strong]

Is 2 million a high number for a heavyweight championship fight?

it is nowadays...in the 90s a title shot got you at least a couple million. michael grant 5 million vs lennox, rid**** bowe 14 million in his first shot at holyfield, seldon 3.5 million,etc. the money is just not there in today's economy. heavyweight boxing was where the real money was. now it's in the smaller weight classes...

I don't see it. K2 will win the purse bid and dictate terms.
