lol..now it is funny Berto for more then Lucas tho

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Exactly, I don't understand how anyone can hate on someone else making money.

Well actually I do understand jealousy.

But luckily for me I do not suffer from that affliction.

It's not hating on Berto to be annoyed that the money in boxing is distributed so bizarrely.

[Weebler I]

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

Berto is a bigger name than Taylor.

$400k is a bit on the high side given his opponent but at least it's not the $1.4 million Quillin was in line to receive.

I have no issue with Berto getting paid, but.....

The pay grade should always correspond with the grade of the opposition and the level of fight.

The reason we see all these mismatches as of late is because these fighters are getting paid well to fight low grade opponents. Where is the motivation for them to reach higher, when they are getting paid well just to appear in mismatches?

When you wonder why the fights we thirst for are not made, all you need to do is look at the pay scale. The hunger is gone.

Showtime has been garbage since Hershman left; all the bull**** showcase fights from HBO migrated to Showtime with GBP/Haymon.

Its hard to believe this is the network that brought us the Super Six and Batamweight tourney. RIP Showtime.
