Based on merit, who deserves to be the highest paid boxer today?

[Beercules]

Is it true Salkas a Marine? If so he deserves the pay... lol

I think he was in the Army National Guard or something. I do remember him mentioning he was in the military

[Dr Rumack]

Outright Quality - Gonzalez, Ward, Kovalev

Achievements - Pacquiao, Ward, Gonzalez

Entertaining the Masses - Golovkin, Gonzalez, Canelo

I think it's probably Roman Gonzalez. Consistently in good fights. Has great wins. And is one of the best in the game. He is a midget though so that plays into things too.

Well the best fighter in the sport deserves to be the highest paid. That's Andre Ward.

I think he was in the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corp. I remember seeing the crest on his trunks.

Merit? Are you fucking kidding me?

Boxers aren't 'paid.' They earn their paychecks by putting asses in seats. Their earnings are merit based.

[Reloaded]

I think the payday someone gets should reflect the matchup not just a case of being a marquee name .

Ive always believed the success of a promotion is ALL about the match up not the one fighter.

The toughest of the tough

He wooped Danny's ass so he deserves it

[LaterRoundz]

For me it's any fighter who is willing to put themselves and their reps on the line to test themselves against the best. Boxing would die without that spectacle. If you're not nervous for the dudes when watching a fight then something isn't right. And it's even better if they are able to deliver sweet science in the process.

Recently.. Andre Ward, Kell Brook, Roman Gonzalez, Anthony Crolla, Carl Frampton
