    Boxers get paid with the most they can get away with

    Fighting is the highest risk sport. Fighters will kill the opponent if it means winning.

    Life on the line each time they perform and no teammates to help

            Idk if I believe in the concept of overpayment. Any employee will work for as much as he can get. The person with the money will try to pay as lil as possible to get the services or skills of said employee. From there you can gather if a situation is profitable or not. And if you didn't make money it might be cuz you overpaid or undersold the product you were trying to sell or some combo of that & other issues. But thats just a part of business. There is risk.

              5-10 years ago Broner was worth seeing, not anymore and hasn't been for a while

                I think at this stage people already lost faith in Broner. They watch him for the "entertainment" antics separate from boxing and realize he isn't ever going to be a top fighter. He has suckered the fans into thinking this is finally the training he needed and he's "back". Then he lays an egg against any B level fighter....Credit to him for convincing his audience I guess.

                  If they bring in the money then they aren't overpaid, how can they be? Now guys like Golovkin, Fury and Wilder who got paid 10+ mil for their last fight and brought in nowhere near that are overpaid.

                    DAZN fighters are being over paid, they have bypassed the American capitalist system they will have to change their business model or go out of business.
