he made 300k dollars or something like that. then took a fine of a decent size.
And do you think it's good for boxing that a fight with someone who's not even a belt holder can bring you 10 x more than a title fight? I sure as hell don't.
A title fight should be the pinnacle of your career - in terms of exposure, earnings etc. but these days it's something fighters want to avoid because even if they win, they'll be paid very little as well as having to fight the same man upwards 3 times.
