Andy was guaranteed $200,000 to fight Dimitrenko. Andy was not flat broke before he fought Joshua. He had money and has many properties he has invested in. Tired of this rags to riches bullshi+.

$200k for that fight?! Wow, good money.

Maybe he was not broke, but 2 Joshua fights made him a rich man.

He must be very thankful to Miller, Whyte and Kownacki.

I get it you hate Andy but that's not true dude he might've been guaranteed 200k but he probably only walked away with 100 if he was lucky plus he had just bought himself out of his contract with Bob Arum where his career stalled so he wasn't collecting that many checks. He had a small house and a Porsche that was about it compared to what he got for AJ he probably hadn't even made that in his entire career combined up until that point.

Here's the issue with being an undisciplined heavyweight, you don't have to worry about making weight. Smaller guys always have in their mind that they need to make a weight class, many of whom do so despite physically outgrowing the weight. So for them, they try not to get too far away from that weight or in the cases of some who try to squeeze down to a weight class in order to gain a size advantage, they use PEDs that help you to cut weight like zilpaterol or clenbuterol. But if you're a hw and don't have to worry about cutting weight, you may end up ******ly gaining 15 pounds in just 6 months.

Well Arreola should know as the same self discipline issues sandbagged him. Put the burrito down and get to the gym! Easy to say. Hard to do.

He wanted to party and eat, not a fighter fit to be a champion.

Yes, and I think that's what arreola is trying to say. No need for sympathy for either of them.

He's with Haymon, so if his listed purse was $200K, he likely walked away with more, not half.
