That was during a booming economy. That has been killed. The money no longer exists.

I wouldn’t go as far as that
More like they realized what they’ve done
Anyway bottom line is they are getting way to much money

I get what your saying but we are talking about some very wealthy people
Oligarchs etc etc etc

My point is that it's the fans that pay the fighters. The fans are broke now. So where is the money going to come from?

I hear you but nothing seems to surprise me
Even without fans in the stands , they can generate great views
Put them on fox and cbs
If properly promoted and half decent fights , they’ll make money

Yeah, it's your fault, Mr Hearn.

Fighters now want tens of millions of dollars before going into the ring.

Something is up in Hearn's sleeves. The intention may be good for boxing but then Eddie is thinking of something else. We would soon see it

Nah, there's nothing in his sleeves. He was called out by Mannix in his podcast for driving up the purses.

Read the article bro.

The fighters deserve big rewards for putting there lives and livelihood at risk.

I mean sure this sounds good, but it's not the reality or else soldiers would get paid millions upon millions cuz they are putting their lives on the line at a higher clip than boxers do.

The reality is no matter the danger present with a job you aren't getting paid more than the money you bring in. And with the realities as they are right now with coronavirus nearly everyone in boxing will be taking a pay cut I'd imagine.
