Purses for Saturday: Canelo 1.5M, Lara 1M

[KO MX]

What weight are they contracted to make?

......155 lbs

[US Dirk Killer]

last fight he got 1mil purse and end it getting 8mil total, how much was floyd making at 23?

and Canelo probably the only one getting a PPV percentage, Mexican tv and the one who'll get those same future paydays regardless of the outcomes.

Daaaamn, good for Lara. You should have seen the army of fans Angulo had with him in Vegas and he probably helped with the PPV sales, and he got less. I must say, Al Haymon gets his fighters PAID.

[Build That Wall]

Lara is blessed to have Al Haymon at his side.

Why do fans care what fighters are making? Just a question.

Probably be cuz true fans of the sport hate seeing great fighters taken advantage of and not have a pot to piss in at the end of the day? How many world champions are flat broke and/or punch drunk?

Some of us do actually care about the fighters themselves. not just some rock em sock em robot that we toss away as soon as they are no longer of any use for our entertainment pleasure.

So knowing that these fighters are making this type of money is a good thing for the sport. It's also how you increase the talent pool. By making the sport more attractive to the physically gifted athletes. That means better fights for the future as well.

Just my 2 cents

I don't see what the big deal is, this seems to be the running guarantee for all B-sides. Maidana got 1.5 million guaranteed for facing Floyd, same with Martinez facing Cotto and now Lara is getting 1 million to fight Canelo and people on here saying it's all Haymon, please. I could look at what other people make and say I deserve this much most of this is public record as you've just seen.

Canelo probably gets Mexican TV rights and most likely ppv upside.

Is he, there were those articles claiming that canelo didn't want televisa to broadcast his fights

[Check_hooks]

So after haymon gets his 15%, Lara still has to pay GBP a fee and since hes been running off at the mouth against Oscar, i wouldn't d be surprised if it was more than 500k

I'll tell ya'll why Lara got a million. It is because there is a provision in Haymon's contract that stipulates that once he gets you a million dollar+ purse, he gets an automatic 2-3 year extension on his contract.

All great points. Tbh I don't see why some people say "why do we care how much they make" it's part of the sport
