Comments Thread For: Purses: Wilder Gets $1 Million, Stiverne $910,000

The WBC champion gets less then the challenger

that my friends is what you call a Don King fighter , bad management at it's worst

If Stiverne wins he needs to dump the old geezer and get proper management
or learn to read a contract


C'mon Wilder promotes himself good ... but to get more then the champion ?
it's not like he's beaten anyone known or been in great fights

baldomir got 7 million less than floyd. being a champ doesn't mean anything. this is a business! put your business suit on!

ya of the purse bid but he probably thought the 900k would be more then 75% of the purse bid so he agreed to it at end of the day

It's a disgrace that Stiverne isn't the highest paid on this card, with all the work he's been putting in these last couple of years.

Buddy you are obsessed with Mayweather-Baldomir. You may be the only person in America that remembers that fight like it was yesterday.

It's not a disgrace at all that's just the way boxing works. The more popular guy usually gets the lionshare of the purse and lets be honest everyone is excited about this fight to see if Wilder is the real deal or not, and there isn't even a huge difference, $1m to $910,000. The only disgrace is LSC getting $750k to fight another bum.

These heavyweights on Showtime getting short money compared to the welters on NBC.

Hearing that Guerrero is getting about 2M and Thurman 1M. Cha-Ching! #boxing

Hope Hymen has some good protection because someone, somewhere is going to lose big money thinking their investment was going to be returned 10 fold. One day, he is just going to vanish and no one will know what happened.
