Purses for Saturday: Canelo 1.5M, Lara 1M

[V.WEBB]

Why should we care about how much they got paid? I don't get it.

Cause you get a cut. You haven't been getting your checks in the mail every time you've checked to see how much a fighter you like is making? Hmm, that's weird.

[sicko]

Surprised that Lara is getting that much? That is what he signed with Al Haymon For! So NO it is not a Surprise at all to be honest.

[DannYankee]

Do they get a cut if the ppv does better than expected?

[CubanGuyNYC]

Damn, Lara got a great deal. I'm surprised he's making that much.

I don't know what I'm more surprised at: Lara getting that much, or Canelo getting that little. I would've expected Alvarez to score between two and three times what Landy's making.

[CubanGuyNYC]

Canelo must be getting all the ppv money and jars just getting the flat million

There's my answer!

[CubanGuyNYC]

Boxing is a tough, tough sport to make it in, man. Canelo is one of the biggest names in the business, yet he probably makes less than a "pretty good" Major League Baseball player. When you consider that there are precious few boxers that make more than him, it's just sad. Sadder still are the numbers for the guys in the trenches.

Geeez man. Here you go:

I want an actual link to a respectable source, not some quote from a dude on NSB I've never heard of before

Think of boxing promoters like movie producers. They pay all the expenses to set up the fight and guarantee who ever fights on that card their purses. They keep whatever is left over and some fighters get a cut of the PPV like some movie stars get a cut of the ticket sales.

Since Lara is not a GBP fighter, he needs to pay a fee cuz GBP ain't doing that **** for free. Its no secret that Floyd pays GBP a fee for promoting his fights.

So if Floyd has to pay a fee, what make you think Lara doesn't?

Canelo will definetly get a nice cut of PPV probs another 1-3M

Since you want links, where's YOUR link of how this stuff works? Promoters do not get money from the fighters. But you keep believing what you want.
