    Boxers are being paid so much today!!!

    From Canelo with the 11 fights $365 million dollar deal to Danny Jacobs getting $15 million to fight Canelo.

    Pacquiao just got paid $20 million for the Broner fight.

    Joshua makes a minimum of $20 million for his fights.

    Usyk made over $10 million in 2018.

    Wilder was paid $14 million while Fury was paid $11 million for their fight.

    Golovkin is about to get paid serious money who ever he signs with.

    The money is flowing in boxing between DAZN, PBC and Top Rank etc.

    I don't give a ***. Waaaaaay too much conversation around here about what people make, what they deserve, etc. Let their managers focus on that. Let's talk about boxing.

      I agree with what you are saying and as a fan I think the same way... It's just boxing is a business before it is a sport so I think to really understand what is going on you have to follow the money unfortunately...

          Trouble is most of the money is concentrated at the top and those guys are greedy as phck. More of that money should filter down to the poor schmoes on the undercard but no.

            Yes Jacobs getting $15 million for the Canelo fight and a minimum of $4 million in his next 2 fights even if he shall lose in the Canelo fight.

            Canelo Alvarez is planning to follow his May 4 three-belt middleweight unification bout against Daniel Jacobs in Las Vegas with a trilogy fight against Gennady Golovkin in September, Alvarez’s trainer, Eddy Reynoso, told The Times.

              You gotta adjust for inflation though.

                  More money needs to go to all of the fighters on the cards. They're risking their lives every time they step in the ring. Don King and Bob Arum have hundreds of millions, they should feel ashamed of themselves.

                    "can make up to $15 million" and "will make $15 million" are 2 different things........
