    Fighters not knowing their worth nowadays, asking for too much money.

    **** these divas. They bring hardly anything extra and they're demanding 40/50 % against fighters that are 10x the draw. We didn't see this with fighters like Maidana and Bradley who happily took their flat fees against Mayweather and Pacquiao and a shot at greatness because they knew their worth.

    Wilder and Parker are asking for too much.

      It's not about knowing their worth. They have a price they're willing to take an L for and sell their belts. They don't really want the fight hence the high % demands.

          Fans need to grow up and understand what negotiations are about. Compromise is usually made but of course they're going to posture and demand certain amounts. This year contained several big examples of fights where one was labled a "ducking diva", but terms were eventually met and the fight was made. Again, it's negotiations. You guys aren't paying attention.

            UK PPV are like 5-10 dollars worth per buy. AJ and Hearns scrambling to picking up pennies from the floor from UK fans while studs like Wilder and Di Bella going to 10+ million dollar built HQ to pick up stacks of million dollars in Gold Plated Suit Cases. Real money is in Vegas(Fight Capitol) and Murica everybody knows that.

                I think it’s more of fans not knowing fighters worth. The guys know exactly how much is on the table and it’s hard to say “you get HOW much?!??” Compared to what they get
