    So if skills pay the bills, why is it that?...

    So called "brawls" or "brawlers" always win fight of the year? Why dont they go to the more technical type fights?? Thoughts

    Skills do pay bills.

    Skilled fighters make more....hence the phrase.
    Fighter of the year doesn't pay bills.

            There will always be exceptions.

            Rigo is managed terribly....even his own promoter bad-mouthed him.

              Kinda true but a lot of times these guys that get fight of the year end up making a pretty penny for a rematch and sometimes rubber match.

                Im pretty sure Brandon Rios has had a better career financially than both Lara and Rigondeaux.

                    I don't see too many well payed brawlers or KO guys.
