Charlo's purse looks disproportionately low in compared to the others.....who did he piss off?
Berto is getting $1.2m - more than Porter ($1m)

After Porter KO˙s Berto, he will become bigger name and than fight winner Brook -Spence or rematch Thurman.Comment

Why is he a bigger name? He has zero fanbase. Why is he a bigger name than Porter? Cos people have b*tched about him more over the years? Porter is the bigger name, the better fighter, the better resume, the better upside.Comment

A-Side? Based on what?
Him getting handpicked as an easy last fight for Mayweather? Which in itself was Haymon garnering Berto another disproportionate payday.
Porter came off a close loss and great fight against Thurman. Berto beat a tree. Berto is not the A-Side because Al's been doing him solids for years.Comment

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA Twitter followers. Is that the currency we use now to measure who the bigger fighter is? Is that how Al came to his purses decision? Berto just got a social media spike from the Mayweather fighter but no-one cares who he is after that.
Neither of this fighters are draws, either in the stadium or on TV. But to argue Berto is bigger is ridiculous. Berto has been on the periphery of the boxing world since Soto-Karass wrecked him. At least Porter is a legitimate player in the game - not some long-time Haymon project who was crap enough to be the easy pickings for Floyd's last fight.Comment

Andre Benjamins is in for a tough night.Berto has 100,000 followes on Twitter. Porter has 36,000. Yes, Berto is far more well known.
But more importantly, this is Berto cashing out. This is Porter getting a known scalp and moving on to a Thurman rematch. This fight getting made benefits Porter more than it benefits Berto. But that benefit is going to cost you a little bit. Hence Berto getting the extra cash.Comment

Berto had more exposure especially with the Floyd fight.
No wonder the Charlo was crying that he and his brother don't get respect by boxing. His purse is less than what I had imagined. He has to fight more frequently against better oppositionComment
