Purses for Linares vs Lomachenko?
Collapse

That all sounds true. $1.5 is what Golovkin was making when he was fighting unknowns like Monroe.Loma is fighting legit fighters, is in the discussion for P4P #1, has everyone talking, and is making 1.5??? FFS...
Ward made almost 2m from fighting Barrera (who was unknown at the time) and Ward was still coming out of a 3 year absence.
Loma should be getting PAID because he's peaking and you never know when your boxing career is going to end. He'd be a fool to think it's going to be this good for years to come. Pac put up with Arum's shyt and look where he is now. Still fking fighting.
You have turned into a complete plankComment

Feels like loma is worth more than he's getting paid, but that's nothing new with arum fighters.Comment

What is hard to understand about that? 12 fights in and he's been getting fat checks since fight #2. Do the math.Last edited by lolpz; 05-14-2018, 11:57 PM.Comment

him and Crawford both. Arum is dirty. He's just as bad as Don King. The thing is, everyone knows that King is a crook. Arum for some reason doesn't receive the same criticism. He's a horrible promoter. He can't keep his top figthers or even promote them properly. Then he's actually complaining about Haymon paying his fighters too much lolComment

I was watching a a esnews video and they had robert talking about paychecks etc and they were laughing cause Mikey is making double what lomachenko is right now and he has offers from hearns and ufc etc
They went on to say that the reason its hard to negotiate with arum is cause arum cap (best offer) is less than what mikey is already getting paid right now. That if lomachenko is allowed to cross over to their side for just that 1 fight lomachenko will get his biggiest purse ever but Arum wont allow that its either on his terms on his side or nothing at all.
linares just made as much as garcia ever has so thats matching it right there. loma would not make more crossing over. loma makes 1.5 million. broner and garcia only made 1 million.
i think what you are talking about are rumors. rumors that garcia made something crazy like 3 million to fight lipinets. this was obvious nonsense cause the same exact rumors were said about spence vs peterson but he only made 1.2 milion in reality.
the only way garcia made that much is if haymon paid him behind the scenes. if htat is the case that has no effect on loma-garcia negotiations. you can't say "hey my promoter secretly pays me millions therefore i deserve millions more than i'm worth" that would be like double paying him since hes going to get the milions from haymon anyway(if true) it also proves that loma would not make more if he went to fight on showtime since he doesnt have that same deal with haymon(if its true)Last edited by daggum; 05-15-2018, 12:22 AM.Comment

Ward isn't the best example because he was grossly overpaid in general. He's a guy who's paydays didn't match his ratings/drawing power, but on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Feels like loma is worth more than he's getting paid, but that's nothing new with arum fighters.
Good luck with that.

he's a baby sized guy, in his 30's, who speaks no english. 1.5 million is close to the maximum you'll ever get off of PPV when your opponent makes a million and you are not a crossover draw.
there's nothing wrong with how lomachenko is promoted, he's got a very low ceiling. they'll get him to ppv once or twice, probably against garcia [maybe even against pacquiao,] and that's as far as he'll ever go.
just for some context, broner and garcia made less than lomachenko did when they fought each other. both guys made around a million bucks. total purse was less, split for lomachenko was better with him taking home an extra 500k.
so yeah... no.Comment
