    That's the problem and it started way back in the 90s.

    HBO have wasted so much money on feeding their top guys too much money for too little work.

      Let's assume HBO is willing to pay Crawford $1.5 million (that is $100,000 more than what Thurman got in the Porter fight) for a non-PPV Postol fight. Would you say it's fair?

      Which fight do you think is bigger Thurman vs Porter or Crawford vs Postol?
      HBO didn't think he was worth that much, that's why the fight is on PPV. Read the article. Let's not go on assumptions. Let's stick to facts.

        And really got exasperated when Haymon was in the HBO fold. By the time they were sick of the waste, Haymon left to Showtime and continued to lay waste to other network.

          What if you found out Crawford's guarantee in this fight was $1.5 mil? You do know that they have guarantees, right? Meaning, they'll get the money regardless of how well/bad the PPV did.

          Why can't you answer a simple question? Which fight do you think is bigger, Thurman vs Porter or Crawford vs Postol? You've been starting tens and tens of threads here and you can't answer a simple question?

            Networks are overpaying some boxers. Boxers want millions for easy fights and even more with challenges.

              There is no need to go into hypotheticals when we have the facts.

                Wow. This guy is in a forum and he can't have an opinion on a simple question. What is hypothetical about which do you think is the bigger fight Thurman vs Porter or Crawford vs Postol?

                You want facts?

                Postol vs Matthysse purses: Postol - $90K, Matthysse - $500K

                Crawford vs Lundy purses: Crawford - $1.21 million, Lundy - $150K

                Guess which guy is the greediest. No wonder he avoided Matthysse and Postol when it was offered earlier.

                Thurman vs Porter purses: Thurman - $1.4 mil, Porter - $1 mil.

                    Doe stop quoting me if you can't answer a simple question.

                    Which do you think is the bigger fight?

                    Thurman vs Porter or Crawford vs Postol

                    The answer is of course Thurman vs Porter. It was on free tv.
