The problem with Danny Garcias purse against Salka

[King_]

It is about time fighters start getting paid good money..they risk their lives for a living....

What risk is a guy taking to fight Rod Salka?


This is exactly the point. Guys will start to not take risks anymore because they could get paid so much money to fight such bad opponents.


What don't you understand?

What are talking about? GGG fight Adama off premium cable. he just got paid 600k to fight a top MW.

seems like his problem his his management and promoter..maybe he needs a better one and get more money

Salka is a professional fighter with 2 hands..and pro fighter can seriously hurt another one..laugh all you want but those are 2 men hitting each other in the face....The Miami Heat players get paid good money to play the sorry teams in the NBA as well

It's a wonder that Andre Ward hasn't stepped inside a ring in so long. He was grossly overpaid ($2million) to fight Rodriguez

Exactly. Now why on earth would he take absolutely anything less then that to fight anybody better then Rodriguez?


Why would contenders continue to fight each other when they can make the same amount of money to fight guys in tune up/stay busy fights?

I'm trying to apply your theory to all fighters. when I do that look at your response?

Is Kov only going to fight Caparello level fighters from now on? Is GGG going to keep fighting overmatched MW like Gaele? you wouldn't say yes to either so come on.

Danny got paid for a mismatch, same as kov. You are trying to make one terrible and meaningful and the other nothing. Can't be done.

does this apply, for example, to Manny v algieiri? I think you would say no. $20 mil is far more than 700k. so whats the difference?

Alright, i don't know what else to tell you.


Getting overpaid to fight bad opponents could start a trend of fighters not even fighting good opponents anymore because they can get the same amount and more to fight bad opponents. This will ruin the integrity of the sport and slowly the sport will die....

Dude.... Kovalev is unifying titles next....

He didn't get paid so 700k to fight Caparello, neither did GGG for Adama... they're the exact opposite of what I'm saying!

I don't know whether or not 20 million is overpaying for Pac or not. But what I do know that you're going to sit here and compare Salka and Chris Algieri? Have you lost your damn mind?


Chris Algieri is a champion. Pac-Algieri is a unification fight

I ask again-is this trend only applicable to one network?

No. Any network.

Tldr. Because the people love the champ. He still got good ratings. The real travesty is how Diego Chavez only got 25k while rios got 900. That's ***ed up

Yeah, 25k was a straight robbery. He probably only left with like 15k or something
