Comments Thread For: HBO Sports' Head on Formulating 'SuperFly 2' For Early 2018

They spent like 2 million on the last one

Where'd you get that number

That was a damn good card top to bottom. Well worth it. HBO is thinking outside the box. With Top Rank leaving that frees up money and dates. I think we will start seeing them invest more in young up and comers to go along with the talent that has been established already on the network.

that was an awesome, awesome card and i applaud them for it. takes a lot of balls to pay flyweights top dollar and put them in a main event.


put it in foxwoods and i'll get so f#cking drunk

i think the only one getting top money was choco, and he got like 600K. don't know about the rest.

the card was indeed awesome

As long as we get to see Minny Pacquiao at the top of the card sparking another super flyweight, I'm all for it.

it was a 3 fight card with purses totalling well over a million bucks. about 1.1 million total. that's not huge for a boxing card on hbo or showtime, but it takes a lot of guts to throw that money down on asians and flyweights.

Somebody released the purses. Chocolatito make like 600k and everybody else made substantially less than that.

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai: $170,000
Roman Gonzalez: $600,000

Naoya Inoue: $182,500
Antonio Nieves: $35,000

HBO has really been sucking methane ever since Jim Lampley started beating and choking his old lady while drunk and high on weed.
