How much does Thurman deserve to get in a Spence fight?

[rickJen]

Doesn't matter. You'll never hear about the negotiations. The fight would be announced. You don't hear PBC fighters complaining about pay fighting each other like Teo, Pac, Nicholas Walter's & manny others did when it came to inhouse fights

Yeah, that's the amazing thing about PBC fighters.
They're totally mesmerized by uncle Al's sweet talk that they'll accept
whatever figure he comes up with. PBC fanatics will happily go along with it.
Thurman, Porter, Garcia made an average figure of $1.2 million each when they fought
each other in pre-pandemic times. Fans never made any issue about it.
And these PBC guys were ten times more well known than Lopez.

Lo and behold when it's non-PBC hell breaks loose with PBC fanatics when
Teofimo who's barely known by casuals gets to be offered $1.2 million in a
crowdless environment starts yelling, "IT'S A LOWBALL!"

[rickJen]

Tired of these topics.

Fans should be talking about fights we want to see, not how money a fighter deserves in a fight. Sht is boring.

I'm with you completely, bro. I'm ten times tired of network/promoter fanboys
when they cry lowball when we discover that Haymon fighters actually made less.
It's no longer a sport. It's hate on anything that is not PBC.

If the two fighters he already defeated (Garcia and Porter) got a fight with him, then Thurman certainly deserves a shot. I don't see how he gets $10M though. Maybe $5M tops. PBC fighters don't often earn 8-figures. Especially since he'll be the B-side of that fight.

Yeah, $5 million is okay. That's Teo Lopez's minimum asking price.

[rickJen]

Wouldn't even be a issue at all if they decide to fight each other

How much does he deserve in a Spence fight, in your humble opinion?

After all these years of myself, other people and the media explaining that reported purses aren't the total of what they make & you're still running with it. Can't fix ******

You wouldn’t hear any sort of demand. He would probably get 4m but they would come out like they made 20m from a PPV that doesn’t do anything more than 350k. Like the promoters are in the business of losing money.

Sometimes you cannot continue arguing or debating some people, I was being told Spence a d Garcia made 8m in their fight. Which meant someone had to be making a loss.

[War Room]

More than Crawford

Tough one here. I don't think people want to watch Thurman right now. He lost to Manny coming up on 2 years now, razor close wins against Garcia and Porter. if Garcia didn't give up those early rounds, Thurman would have lost. Thurman finished the fight in losing fashion. Disastrous body shot from Collazo.

Yea his record is better than Crawford's but he's been out for ages, injury riddled, and literally zero hype.

[Zaroku]

Pay him whatever his market rate is.. one time is a pot head hippy crazy fool.

I’ll buy his fights

And you're still into this ****** nonsense.
You yourself have admitted it's not only PBC fighters
that get this "extra" money after the fight.
What do you want people to do, just make up figures,
instead of just going by the reported ones?
If Crawford made $4 million in the Brook fight, does that
mean he made more than that? How much more?

I agree with you. As a fan I'd rather not hear anything about how
the negotiations went. I'd rather just see fights announced and
both fighters agreed to face each other.

You have to agree that non-PBC promoters are always being picked apart
when they make their offers as if PBC is offering more.
