Comments Thread For: Arum On Fighters' Purses: Nobody Is Indispensable In This Environment

If you cant pay Crawford the 3 million minimum purse you agreed upon then tear his contract up and let him walk as a free agent.

He’s said he’s paying 2 or 3 times the minimums on their contract

Hardly 2-3 times his minimum. His purse was 3 million for Horn and 3.6 million for Benavidez.

As long as Bob gets his cut. Flat rate and percentage. Front and back. Did he apply for his bailout money?

[Mindgames]

I hope Bob understands that the public won't have the same sort of money to shell out as pre Covid. I'm sure he's going to do he's bit. Everyone takes a pay cut yeah Bob?

wuen he resigned his minimum because 3.65 mil for non POV fights and 5 mil for PPV. He’s doing just fine.

Given that majority of fight fans are blue collar folks, who will be hit the hardest by C-19, Crawford should limit his expectations. Otherwise the TV will need to raise PPV to take into account for lost gate revenue. How many on this forum would pay $80-$100 to watch Crawford fight on TV? At least anyone, other than Spence.

When we realize Crawford made more
money at 147 than PBC guys

You mean these fighters are still as greedy as fk even during this pandemic times?
Don't they know there's not enough money to produce fights during these anemic times?

Crawford did his image no favours with those comments. A pandemic doesn't provide the kind of environment where diva's thrive.

Everyone has had to 'cut their cloth' especially in the entertainment industry. Talk of a pay rise shows a complete lack of education, empathy and class.

Say what you will about old Bobbles, but he's on the money here with some basic economic advice to his stable.
