Wade/Golovkin Purse

[kiaba360]

Ward tried to fight Zac Dunne and Rupert Murdock and got turned down for them too.

I think you meant Rohan Murdock, though the image of Rupert Murdoch in boxing gloves would be ****in hilarious.

It was intentional b/c it's about equivalent.

Purses for Saturday: $2 million for @GGGBoxing, $500k for Dominic Wade.

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.

... but not Jakobs, though...

[Robbie Barrett]

HBO wasting their boxing budget on this ****.

This goes to show you. The difference between Monroe and Wade? Al Haymon.

Just having Haymon in his corner quintupled his purse.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Good for Wade

I'm in the rules meeting where they pick gloves. Reality is real weigh-in will happen now. Outside later for show. #GolovkinWade #boxing

Wade 159.6. First time in his career he's weighed 160 or less. #GolovkinWade #boxing

WTF is Rafael talking about? Wade has never fought at 160?

Never. This is his first fight at the limit and his first scheduled 12 rounder.

[The Gambler1981]

Never. This is his first fight at the limit and his first scheduled 12 rounder.

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

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.

you feel me? And Crawford getting 1.3 million for Lundy

[Kenchiro]

ggg brings big drama show....bring in butts to the seats....brings high rating=big dough....good boy
