lol, Andre Berto made 400k Saturday

[The Big Dunn]

So you're cool with the crap matches they put up?

Fetta has a point-you said you dropped showtime. You didn't contribute in anyway to his purse.

Berto's purse has nothing to do with the quality of the fight. It seems he would be getting the same money regardless of who he opened the card against.

[Ray Corso]

You make it sound like the 400 grand goes in Berto's pocket!
Your not that naïve are you.
Management, Promotion.
Training fees; trainer (s), spar partners, gym fees, food, accommodations, transportation, laundry etc.
Uncle Sam$$$$$$ gets his too.......

Let this sink in....he is a pro fighter, he puts his health and life on the line!

He was a contender and a draw and if you like him or not Showtime gave him the spot and he didn't get paid anything extravagant when you think of how that "pie was cut"! Let that sink in before you talk about what another man earns and how he earns it.

What do you do and how much do you earn?

Good point BUT Taylor only got 100 and he has similar fees.

[Hougigo]

Broner $1M, Taylor 100k, Matthysse 370k, Ortiz 139k, Berto 400k, Upsher 45k

Berto got paid more than matthysse?!

Hahaha... okay... next million dollar payday is coming up.... wow

[US Dirk Killer]

Thought Broner v Taylor was cool. Lucas fight was uneventful and Berto fight was a comeback from shoulder surgery and not to bad of a fight and was 3rd fight on card. I have Showtime cause i can afford it without worry so im happy. But you are upset at how much another man makes and how much of budget they use even when you arent a subscriber. Complaining just to complain

I can afford it too, but I'm not into wasting money on shit that isn't worth it. If you guys are into it, w/e. Alright, I guess if something doesn't affect you, you shouldn't complain.... let Showtime carry on with their shitty programming

look at Matthysse who got paid less and fought a better perceived opponent. Berto would be in a lot more trouble if his opponent actually fought instead of stand there.

why is it surprising/unfair that his purse is more than matthysse's?

Prior to his 2nd loss, his purses were higher than matthysse got for the danny fight.

We can debate whether he is "worth" this much but the rule of thumb is its not what you're worth its what you can get them to give you.

Then dont complain and start threads about their shitty programming when you arent even a subscriber

[Citizen Koba]

Good for him

$400K for a guy that ain't even top 100? Indeed - good for Berto.

I'm not even surprised by Haymon's biggest supporter.

I'm wrong for seeing something wrong and wanting to see it corrected
