Roman's purse is moving up in 50k increments. At this rate, he'll need 14 fights to reach a $1 million purse lol. Estrada/Gonzalez is gonna have to happen off regular HBO.More Saturday purses: $300k for @chocolatitobox and $75k for McWilliams Arroyo.

Well said because late last year it was rumored that HBO wouldn't budge over 3mil for any fight event not on ppv. I doubt the bulk of this money is coming from HBO considering they have to pay chocolatito his money too.Should clarify for some folks, that's the reported purse per the commission. It's not necessarily the amount of cash HBO's putting up for the fight. They sold nearly 16,000 tickets, that's around a million dollar gate. Additionally, Golovkin has numerous international tv deals and sponsors. Those may or may not be included the reported purse (generally not in order to save and city, state, and federal taxes as well as belt fee's).Comment

It is interesting how there are a group of posters that claim Garcia and Thurman (just to name 2) getting $1.5 mil for bums hurts the sport because it's a disincentive to fight quality opposition but have yet to weigh in on if GGG getting $2 mil for a bum hurts the sport as well.Comment
