      The OP was inferring the opposite, that they are underpaid.

        The bigger names are all well paid on both sides of the fence, it's just the huge gap between those and the less well known names taking home 80-100k.
        Mares only made 25K more than in his last fight before Haymon.

                GBP has solid under cards, so the cake gets split in to thinner slices. Maidana could've made $3 Million Plus (and not $1.5) if they didn't have Khan-Collazo on their last card.


                Regardless Boxing has the heftiest purses in all of combat sports.

                  Their top guys make about the same amount. I'm not sure who's under or over paid. Broner and Garcia regularly get 500k plus for their fights. Khan a million. Comparable to top ranks second tier.

                    All of which has NOTHING to do with Arum. Bob is his PROMOTER, not his manager, accountant, financial advisor, or tax attorney.

                      That's the problem tho. Because Manny allows him to he all those things
