Comments Thread For: Estrada: Me and Roman Gonzalez Deserve $1 Million Each

[Mr.Fantastic]

The rematch isn't going to happen if that's their price.

I am not mad at either for asking their price. I am sure they know they won't get that much but this is called negotiating. Can't wait until they fight because believe me it will happen eventually.

Love to see the rematch and both guys get some good paper.

Enjoy watching both of them.

That how much Gonzalez got paid for fighting Viloria?

[Pain~Lucy]

those purses are possible, may be lesser, if they will co-headline GGG vs Canelo/cotto winner

[Czarczar]

Estrada should get 90% since he is going to bring the ratings way up. 10% is good for Gonzalez. They are really trying hard to push Gonzalez, so he can get some fans.

A 9 figure payday would be 100M.

Broner math, it's about billions. High 9 figs 800,000,000. Pesos , chop 3 zeros and decide by 4.

I wanted to point it out to him...

It sickens me that Estrada has to ask for 1 million for a really big fight while the likes of Leo Santa Cruz gets high 9-figure paydays for fighting construction workers and cab drivers.

****in A! You've got guys in boxing all over the place earning millions, literally, for **** fights that no one cares to see against opposition that no one knows, and presents no threat or interest.

Here though, we have what is arguably the very best fight to be made in all of boxing today, at least it's certainly up there with Ward/Kov, Cotto/Canelo etc, and these guys will get tens of millions and we can't even justify 1 million.

Considering their last fight, we are very likely to get one of the best fights we've seen in years and a certain contender for FOTY, yet people are whinging about them asking for peanuts comparatively. Everyone should be getting behind this and agreeing. Their first was a great fight, and both have gotten better, so this could be truly epic and they are both at their absolute peaks.

These guys are two of the best P4P fighters, at their peak wanting to fight each other to unify the division and they want to be made 1/20th of what of what other fighters make and that's asking too much?
