Gary russell jr. Pushes for higher purses

[Redd Foxx]

How can you say that. GRJ is entitled to those paydays, I mean he faced a murderer's row of TBAs

Yea, can't blame him. He'd fight a lot more if he wasn't so busy trying to get overpaid. It's a vicious cycle.

sounds like he's been getting offers, but they were better opponents than the highlander and tee beeyay.


dude wants easy fights for 7 figures. pbc bro.

Haymon made boxers too smart for their own good which sucks for the fans as Max Kellerman said last week because Fans and Networks EXPLOIT Boxers and with them becoming smarter we don't get the big match ups we want when we want because fighters are smarter and in being smarter they're more demanding

Fighters might as well come together and start some type of Union to be honest

Gary Russell Jr. provided a little context as to why he has only fought once in the last 18 months, saying he’s still waiting on the proper financial package to lure him back into the ring.

“We’re businessman, no matter what the situation is,” Russell told ******.com of why he hasn’t fought since April. “The objective is you want to have financial stability no matter what it is that your occupation is. So I think it’s the smart thing to do on our end,” he said of making sure he’s appropriately compensated.

The talented Russell, who holds a featherweight title, framed his career as nearing its end, with just three years left before he moves onto the next phase of his life, making the income he receives for any future fights that much more important. Russell declined to specify the types of financial numbers he’s looking for. But a source said he made in excess of $800,000 for his second-round knockout of Patrick Hyland on April 16.

this guy made almost a million for fighting that hyland dude and won't get back until he gets another big paycheck? lol

how can you justify that kind of money for that crappy fight??

I just mentioned something relevant to this in another thread. This is boxing nowadays. We know who to blame.

Yawn.

So PBC is like a Fighters Union Basically

Haymon educating these damn fighters too much to the business side of things but hey that is great for the fighters but it SUCK for the fans who want big match up when we want them
