Top Rank and GBP fighters fight again: Both bid in excess of 1 million

[Hougigo]

So 500k for mr tba and the dreamcrusher each? Thats just fkd up.

They haven't determined split yet...but it might be a triple header.... so I wonder who they put up for it

It's bigger than what people are making it seem.

These are your featherweight title holders:

Gradovich IBF - Top Rank
Donaire/Vetyeka WBA Super - Top Rank (They rarely give fights without options)
Walters WBA Regular - Top Rank
WBC - Jhonny Gonzalez (Will likely be vacated)
WBO - Lomachenko/Russell


Their featherweights like Mares and Santa Cruz next year are stranded because Top Rank has all of the belts. Mares almost had to go all the way up to 130 just for a title shot.

Lol your Maidana excuse sig had me laughing doe!

It's 50/50 via IBF rules.

In the Lomachenko-Russell fight, Lomacheko gets 60% of the winning bid ($631,350) & Russell gets 40% ($420,900). #boxing

So the rival promotion fighter and 2 fight pro gets 60 percent

1 million dollar for this fight..lol

[RubenSonny]

That's an awful lot of money to waste on two amateurs.






Yeah, Sanchez was a real "untested blue chip prospect" when he fought Nelson.

And Nelson was a nobody who took the fight on 8 days notice.

I thought vacant was 50/50 split wasnt it? Why the fk is lomachenko getting 60?

What if... Arum knew there was a mole. In fact, the mole works for Arum. He instructed the mole to tell Golden Boy he was betting a ridiculous large amount knowing that Golden Boy would do anything to one up Top Rank. This way Arum gets a ton of money for his own fighter for free, while Golden Boy is down a million bucks.

[US Dirk Killer]

Loma making more in three fights than some fighters in their entire career

I hope Lomachenko puts a bad beating on Gary Russell. Let's wait and see if he (GR) even goes thru with this fight. He might fight (TBA) again.
