Keep in mind Edwin Rodriguez is making over $1 million against Andre Ward as the challenger (Berto like payments right there).

He has fought 10 rounds this year. I'd say he's made pretty good coin considering the amount of time he has spent in the ring to earn this payday.

Trading big bucks for exposure. 4th HBO fight, third this year, likely more to come. They wanted to broadcast his Monaco fight

A wise investment for HBO but risky in some ways for Golovkin. Nonetheless it is best for the sport when its fighters stay fighting.

Risky, but the best choice for him.
He's K2, I don't think they hold as much influence in the U.S as they do in the European market. I think he's being marketed pretty well right now and it's showing. Hopefully demand will finally get him the bigger fights, but that all depends on Cotto

Golovkin definitely deserves the big fights to give him that push he needs. I see Martinez and Cotto looking elsewhere unless HBO steps in with a ridiculous amount.

I think Edwin is with Haymon, those guys tend to get paid extra.
