We already know the main, so here's the undercard

***8226; Lightweight Raymundo Beltran will earn $85,000 and last-minute replacement opponent Arash Usmanee will receive $80,000 in the co-feature.

***8226; Junior welterweight titlist Khabib Allakhverdiev will make $250,000 and challenger Jessie Vargas is getting $90,000.

***8226; Interim junior lightweight titleholder Bryan Vasquez will get $55,000 and challenger Jose Felix Jr. will make $40,000.

Dang... khabib is making almost as much as the other televised undercards fighters combined

[The Gambler1981]

So a little north of half a million for 3 fights, which like half is going to 1 quality but unknown guy.

Bob never cared for quality of undercards....just to build up fighters.

All I know is, this can't be worse than the last one....that sucked

[Check_hooks]

I wonder how much Beltran would be getting if he got that world title from Burns. He deserves more imo

I feel bad for Ray Beltran, couldn't they get him at least a 100 grand to be in the co-feature, it is the co-feature.

I can feel Bob in a sense that maybe he will get some bang for the buck, and I don't know exactly how much this event is going to make so I can see being thrifty (although I think it is a bit beyond thrifty). Although in this specific situation a good solid co-feature featuring more popular Mexican could have helped sales, but Arum would probably figure that such a fight could stand on it's own and why have 1 bigger event when you can have 2 separate events. Although I don't know that Arum has that sort of talent to spare even if he would have liked to do something like that.

The beltran fght has potential to be interesting...especially the way I've seen Usmanee fight.

I've seen Vasquez fight and I thought he gave Uchiyama some troubles before the KO.... not really impressed with Felix, so who knows there.

Khabib/Vargas...yea, not expecting much there. I'm expecting Vargas to lose.... I don't really see much nowadays.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Is Vargas supposed to win this one?

[Loque-san]

Paper titles pay the bills. No way Khabib would be getting as much if he wasn't WBA 'regular' champion.

So while I agree that all those bull**** belts kills the credibility of the sport, they allow unknown boxers like Khabib, Walters, etc. to get opportunities.

Does Cotto fight Trout without his paper belt?

He's the underdog and I don't see him winning.

Nope
