    I don't think it was a million for each fight, but his purses did increase.

      If I remember correctly the dispute wasn't so much about money per bout, but rather the number of fights he was promised vs what he got. Top Rank contended that they couldn't deliver on that because Donaire was injured and NSAC order Donaire rest to heal from injuries.

      Also I understand the boxing promoters have a bad reputation. Arum in particular, but he is right about a few things. They spend a lot of money building up fighters sometimes losing money in the process of building them up. Then when they finally recover some if the money and actually begin to make a profit, the fighter demands more money threatens to sit out his contract, or wants to sign with another promoter.
      Donate did this twice. Once with Arum the other Gary Shaw.
      Bro I just dont get how fight fans give a F if TR invests money in its fighters and how much profit they are looking to make after developing fighters. Why the F as we as fight fans should care if TR is in the red or not. We aren't shareholders. I remember some journalists on TR payroll saying the same thing oh well TR invests the most in developing their fighters so what? Who gives a F about TR unless you on their payroll or they your employer.

      We as fight fans wanna see exciting fights and the best match ups not a TR fighter fighting a bunch of bums and TR only in house fights for 10 fights in a row.

      We can all agree Pac should have left TR way long time ago. If he had the balls to call his own shots much earlier he could have done even more incredible things.

      Sorry bro I just can't stand TR or anyone who defends them lol.

I believe conte was a sax player for a tower of power, he never went to college for this he said he just started doing his own reading and hired patrick arnold a real chemist who created the cream and the clear or whatever

        Contes creation was zma supplement zinc magnesium
        Interesting but Elon is a smart arse dude he knows how to do all the crap he's planning right?

        I know Steve Jobs pretty much had the vision but couldn't program or code so he needed Woz to do all the actual programming and coding.

        Looking at VC's bio it looks like he went to jail for giving athletes steroids and money laundering. If I had to guess it was more so for money laundering. USA is the one place where if you show off too much and floss or stunt the IRS will focus on you and catch you for not being up on your taxes. Thats how they caught Al Capone finally.

        This is why its dumb to buy like a Ferrari even if you can afford one or a yacht it pretty much tells the IRS to look into you if you paid your taxes properly and on time or if you are doing anything shady at all. But we Americans dont give a F and we want to stunt for the ladies and get caught slipping. FACE PALM.

          Well, it's not so much that I care about the financial situation of top rank or the fighters for that matter. The problem is financial disputes even when unwarranted sometimes prevent us the fight fans from enjoying the fights we want to see.

            yeah sorry bro I wasn't directing all that TR bashing towards you just TR and their payroll fandom who never criticize Arum at all even when he pulls a total BS move on all the fans.

            Honestly if someone is paid by arum to kiss his arse and only say positive things about him fine they are getting paid to, but for the ones not getting paid why kiss his arse why not call him out for his BS?

            I think we can all agree Pac should have fought Floyd a hell of lot sooner than he did. No I'm not saying its all Pac's fault shoot Floyd wasn't exactly jumping at the opportunity either.

            But had Pac left TR sooner he could have possibly fought Floyd at least a few years sooner or other great match ups instead of all the TR bums back to back.

            Even take that Japanese dude Murato TR was trying to make him into the next GGG or whatever and it backfired he lost to that guy he was supposed to walk over to make the GGG fight lol.

            And dont get me started on Crawford oh man I can't stand the idiots who act like Crawford beating a one good knee opponent who was shot in the other knee was like the 2nd coming of Tommy Hearns LOL

              Crawford is the real deal. My worry is that since he has re-upped his contract with TR, he won't be fighting any of the big guns under Haymon's umbrella; and so his career will remain less than stellar.
