    So $10 mil for four years. That's not bad for say 2 fights/year.
    So what is he complaining about?

    Whoever uses his twitter account should be exposed
    and be made to explain why he's doing this.
    Yormark needs to clarify some things.

    Things about about Rigo don;t make sense right now.
    Yormark should weigh in on this.

        Neither outcome was known ahead of time....

        Or even expected in hindsight after how old Pacquiao looked against Jeff Horn.

        Mikey Garcia was a great fighter at 130lbs, who had an extended hiatus, showed flashes of being great at 135lbs, and was coming up to Broner's perfect weight for the fight.

        Short money is still short money, especially if you believe that you still have greatness in your own future.

        Full value to fight Mikey Garcia on your terms, versus 75% of what you should've been offered for the Pacquiao fight, you take the full value Everytime and hope that you deliver on fight night.

        Broner beats Mikey Garcia ("Garcia is a good fighter, but the size difference was a touch too much, etc") and Pacquiao-Broner goes from being a $30m ($20m Pacquiao, $6m Broner, $4m plus Pacquiao's advances to Top Rank) fight to being a $50m fight ($35m Pacquiao, $8m Broner, $7m plus Pacquiao's advances to Top Rank).

            Even if the offer was for a ridiculous $5m a fight (Broner hadn't even been able to get $2m for a fight before that), he still got beat, clearly, by Shawn Porter in his second fight after publicly passing on the deal.

            He's had 6 fights since the offer, lost two of them, and arguably lost a third fight in that run too. There's no way that out clauses wouldn't have existed.

            Broner bet on himself and lost; we'd need the actual offer to know if it was a good or bad bet.
            Thats true, good points

              I heard it was supposed to be a 4 year - 9 fight deal. So it was 4.5 million perfght so obviously you see 40 million and say wow but in the details 40 million in 9 fights i gussed he tought haymon could get him more than that. He bet on himself and he failed but it was understandable considering what he tought he could become.

                      So is that why rigo is begging TR for a payday?
