Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Promoters Will Look For Any Reason To Underpay Fighters

[champion4ever]

Damn! Is Paulie salty or what? He is constantly making excuses by blaming others for his shortcomings. If he is not hating on other fighters then he is hating on the establishment. If he is not hating on the establishment then he is hating on the promoters.

I know that his career didn't turn out the way he wanted to but now he has become this negative and resentful loser. He has to understand that envy and jealousy is not going to profit him anything. Nobody owes him shit!

The coronavirus isn't an excuse to under pay fighters, it's a legitimate reason to pay fighters less.

How do you define “Arum paid them good money”?
Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Mikey Garcia, Rigondeux, Gamboa etc all fought tooth and nail to get out of their slave contracts with Arum.
If they were being paid “good money”, why did they risk their careers to get away from Arum? Mikey Garcia and Gamboa lost a couple of years of their careers because of Arum.
Heck! Even Pacquiao tried to get out and sign with Golden Boy but Arum threatened a lawsuit and he went back.

I mean lets be honest here, Oscar, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto was all Millionaires while with Arum...

Sure after they left they made even more money because with a Promoter it is no way a fighter can truly Maximize his Earning Potential when a promoter doesn't open his books so most fighters don't even know their true Value/Worth

So I would say Arum likely paid them well but he got himself paid off of those fighters a lot more I'm sure

No one is doubting that they were millionaires. We all know that.
Why would they leave Arum if they were getting paid well?
The fact is they weren’t. Arum is a dirtbag that was making way much off his fighters then he should. That’s why they left.
Canelo is happy with Golden Boy because he sees a fair relationship.
Andre Ward was happy with his promoters.
