Props to Rungvisai for doing what Roman didnt have the balls to do

[Randall Cunning]

He got 160k as the champ and Roman got 600k. One of the undercard fighters got paid more than him. He could've took it to purse bid & got a 50/50 split.

If he took it to purse bids theyd have just packed him back off to Thailand to fight debutants

Cuadras or Estrada would have stepped in for a shot at the title. Chocolatetitty didn't have much choice but to take the rematch either. He certainly could have got more.

[Motorcity Cobra]

i thought it was around 100k for rung, and around 300k for choco? if its really 160k to 600k then yeah that's a pretty big gap.

Actually it was 170k to 600k. Inoue got paid 182k on the undercard

Damn, just done some checking, he got $210k to fight Cuadras, $65k first Gonzalez fight. Got ****ed over by Gonzalez

He is a good champion with no fear. He trained for 4 months and he came to win by knockout. He will be very hard to beat now. No disrespect for the great Gonzales but much praise for this killer from Thailand. It's his time now.

Give an immediate rematch in a close fight. I know the WBC ordered it but Rungvisai didn't try to price himself out (like Roman did to Estrada by asking for $2mil) or force a purse bid where he'd get more money as the champ or a 50/50 split. He took less money as the champ and erased all doubt. That's a fighter that believed in himself. Roman wouldn't give Cuadras a rematch in a close fight. He took the belt & thought he was gonna run thru Rungvisai then turn around & demand $2 mil to rematch either Cuadras or Estrada. Rungvisai said I whipped your ass the first time and will do it again. And he did it like the true champion he is.

He priced himself out of rematches for his two toughest and closest fights

I agree with everything you said except I think Roman eeked out the first fight. That said, they paid Sor Runvisai peanuts as a champion. He deserved at least half as much as the star when he has a win over him.

As a closing statement, I saw this writing on the wall. Roman could not hurt Sor and had too much heart to stop trying. I always knew it would be his undoing. Make zero mistake about it, Sor Rungvisai is a punishing puncher. He hurts you with no wind up or a lot of wind up. Some people just naturally can crack. He deserves all he gets now. He's legit. You don't need to box when you got power and know how to land it.

Indeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

[Code Red]

Rung certainly should of got paid more, it's because of rip offs like this that I have nothing but praise for a "prizefighter" like "Money" Mayweather. Get every dime you can while you can!

[Lester Tutor]

you guys hate to see a foreigner on top, don't you?

Rungvisai is American...

[Real King Kong]

I'm sure hbo had a say in it. If he didn't fight chocolatito, he probably would have been fighting in japan for peanuts.
