Purses for Saturday: Cotto 7 million vs Martinez 1.5 million

[-MEGA-]

Martinez is gonna give cotto 7 million reasons to quit on his stool...

[Devils Advocate]

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.

And people wonder why boxers go running to Haymon. Martinez has been taking chump change 4 years. He will be lucky to talk away with 500k after NY taxes, promoter fees etc.

The guy is 39 and and in his last limb, hope he was smart with his money.

[El Angel]

That's how B-sides are paid opposed to A-sides. That's probably the highest offer he had in fight against a former WW. He should be happy with what he got.

How would Haymon help? If Martinez didn't do what Cotto wanted, he'll just go fight Canelo on Showtime

Martinez getting underpaid badly IMO. He should get double that.

[BattlingNelson]

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

There should be. This is very low.
