Wade/Golovkin Purse

[OnePunch]

That begs the questions how does one reach mandatory status having never fought in a weight class.

IBF rules for mandos are it goes to #1 first (Tureano Johnson) who withdrew, then #2 which was vacant, and Wade was at #3. Technically he was not the mandatory challenger, but when the mandatory challenger (Johnson) withdrew then Wade became the highest available contender. He caught a break.....

He was rated #3 without ever fighting at the weight. Same question, how does he become #3 without ever fighting at the weight?

Almost 3 million for this card....that's why we gotta pay for fking fights like Crawford-Postal on PPV....

2 mill to fight a bum is a joke but he's a star and the face of HBO with Canelo so I guess they gotta pay the guy...and good for Wade, that's more than he will probably ever make in a fight again.

When you deal with the IBF (as I did for years), you pretty much ask them to rank you in the division you will be campaigning in. A pound or 2 over in non-title fights, or 6 and 8 rounders really doesnt matter, but its rare that EVERY fight on someones record would be over the limit. Usually its just one or 2 here and there.......

but if nothing else, its great ammo for the GGG hate squad. "oh look, GGG dried out a guy who never fought at 160 before blah blah blah" lol

If lil g is making 2 million a bum, Almost half of HBO's budget is going to fund his BIG BUM SHOWS. HOW CAN THEY SUSTAIN THIS.

And the Chocolatito purse? Thanks

Why is Golovkin getting so much flak? Ward got the same $2m for Paul Smith. Charles prince bum Martin got more than that and that man was awful.

And stop comparing Wade to Monroe. All other Golovkins opponents got a lot more than Monroe. That guy really thought it would explode his popularity so he took an insanely low payday.

Chocolatito $300k
Arroyo $75k

Golovkin making as much to fight Wade as he did Lemieux. I would've thought Wade was making more than this given he easily crossed the line to fight on HBO. Hopefully this means it'll be easier to get more Haymon fighters on HBO.

You thought Wade would make more than 500k? 500k is more than I expected for him to fight on HBO, thats a lot of money, I was expecting him to get paid like 100k tops. 500k is a lot for a no name guy like Wade.
