is being an exciting fighter mean automatic money???

[Dempseyistheman]

Last year Chris Byrd was fighting Devarryl Williamson and I remember he was angry because he was a heavyweight champion and he was only making $400000 instead of millions. Yeah, he's been champion for a few years but he doesn't make exciting fights and here he is not making a huge fortune. I guess he's lucky that he's getting $400000.

I think being a linear champ helps too regardless. If you are a boring fighter and beat a legitamate exciting champ/ex champ with prooven skills, you will make money. Hence Winky and Bernard.

Winky and Hopkins make no where near Gatti's payday and they're twice as skilled as he is.

That just demographics man. Winky and Hopkins make more money than Morales, Barrera, or Pacman per fight.

Winky only made 750k fighting Mosley the first time, and the only reason why Trinidad-Wright was PPV and he earned so much was because of Trinidad... Hopkins is another story, I don't know anyone outside of boxing who knows who he is and buys his fights. People outside of boxing buy Arturo Gatti fights cause they hear such good reviews of him and can't wait to get their money's worth. Come on, after seeing Hopkins-Taylor 1 and 2 you know this guy shouldn't have ever been a PPV fighter.

Look at manny pac before the barrara fight he was making sqaut now that people know who he is and have seen him fight they cannot get enough of him and now he is making mad cash. Also people really like the fact that manny learned english as he made himself more personable to english speaking fans.
