Did Errol Spence really make 3.5 million vs Lamont Peterson?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

NO such thing as overpaying guys who are risking their lives in a ring to entertain us.

Whatever these guys get paid, it aint enough.

no asked them to.


They do it by choice not by force.

WHAT???????????????Yea most bus drivers and factory workers I see have brain damage when they are still in there 40-50s.That up there for dumbest post of year cong****.And don't come back showing # for how many factory workers get hurt each year because there is 1000 times more then boxers.Have you ever even been to a gym?There are guys who never fought more then a few pro fights(a lot of Ams though)and they have damage.

Think he might mean statistically, world over.

In Taiwan just a few years back, something like 300+died in a factory fire.

China has nets around the factories because the suicide rate is off the charts.

In the US, more bus drivers die on the clock than fighters during/after the fight.

That said, there should be a union in place so no fighters are at a currency exchange in Windsor cashing there $203 check for there 3 4rdrs in 10days.

Always makes me cringe when they say such ****** "risking their lives" crap.

Bryant Jennings made 1.6 to fight Wlad.

He made less than 1 in his entire career before.

He got 350k vs Kong.

2 Alist HWs on HBO and they split 800k.

Monroe got 100k+25% tix/concessions vs GGG. LESS THAN 300K.

Garcia is a big name, but 1+ mil for Salka and Guerrero.

Now them boys got Haymon by the short and curlys.

Yea all them fights were a while ago he has blown thru all that money Waaddel and Reed invested he is not overpaying anymore.Thats why your starting to see guys jump ship because fightin only once per year and makin normal paydays don't pay all the bills.(at least not for guys used to making more)

Yea and how many more Bus drivers are there ????? cmon

[The D3vil]

Your Top 4 are solid.

Everything from 5-10 is horrific. Nice try though

enough with that nonsense. Boxing doesnt even make the top 100 of the most dangerous occupations. A bus driver or factory worker is 100 times more likely to suffer a permanent injury or fatality than a boxer is. Should bus drivers all be paid millions a year?

Dude, GTFOH

Driving a bus is in no way as dangerous as getting in a boxing ring.

Do you think a 70 could get into a boxing ring with a prime athlete and not die?

Well, they drive busses daily

no asked them to.


They do it by choice not by force.

So do Hollywood actors, Wall-Street bankers, politicians, and every other high paying job, what's your point?

Always makes me cringe when they say such ****** "risking their lives" crap.

BOXER Scott Westgarth has tragically died after he was rushed to hospital following his win in Doncaster on Saturday night.

The 31-year-old told fans he was glad he could "put on a show" in a post-fight interview before he was taken ill backstage - a GoFundMe page has now been set up to raise money for Scott's family.

But Westgarth, who died on Sunday night in hospital, then appeared to be in pain - wincing and holding his head

The cause of his death has not yet been confirmed.

Westgarth's promoter, Stefy Bull, confirmed the devastating news on social media Monday morning.

He wrote: "God bless Scott Westgarth.

I was thinking the same thing and about to post but you got their before me.
Great post.

I made it already idiot. No one forced them to.

I made it already idiot. No one forced them to.

And AGAIN, IDIOT

Everybody does jobs that nobody forced them to do, that doesn't mean they can't be underpaid.

Nobody forces cops, firemen, teachers, and soldiers to do their jobs either, that doesn't mean they're not underpaid.

It's a completely asinine argument to make that because nobody forces them to do their job that they can't be underpaid.

I never said they were underpaid. I simply said no one forced them to. A simple statement you don't seem to grasp.
