Purses for Saturday: Cotto 7 million vs Martinez 1.5 million

[jaded]

Cotto will be getting a guaranteed $7 million for the fight, whereas Martinez will get $1.5 million plus more money from the percentage of PPV upside, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.

Not sure what the potential for the Martinez PPV take is but it sounds like he's getting screwed.

More of a reason for Sergio to bring the pain. Everything is adding up to a very bad night for Miguel.

[Krewella Boyy]

That's a shame.

[Bigg Rigg]

Ha! Lol Martinez got ****ed in every possible way at the negotiation table. He liked it too! War Cotto

[Hougigo]

That's the same he made with Jr?

Did he get a percentage in that fight too?

[Slyboots]

I'm sure there's upside from Argentinean TV.

Martinez $1.4 million purse for the fight, while Chavez Jr has a $3 million purse

[Southpawology]

Thats a pretty big gap in the purse

[Chuckguy]

What did we expect? Sergio just doesn't bring in people.

[Hougigo]

Dang.... Martinez isn't getting as much bank..... in the guaranteed purse at least. I thought it was 3, this fight is way bigger than the Chavez jnr fight
