Unfortunate how this all works. A top P4P fighter like Martinez makes less than rising stars Chavez Jr and Canelo Alvarez

It's a F'nn crime that Jhonny is only getting 40k, SMH

Am I the only one who thinks thats a pretty low purse for josesito? I'm sure its his biggest payday but I would've guessed like 400k...500k even.

I don't believe this number for Lopez. There has to be more to it in the background. He's with Al Haymon afterall.

Also, Canelo getting 2 million to fight Lopez is completely idiotic. Who the hell is running the network? oh...

Boxing is an evil business. How the *** is soto karass getting double the purse Jhonny's getting.

Not surewhat his take was vs Ortiz but for all i know this is maybe a huge step up. Enough for him to move up 2 classes. Who knows maybe he can e at this weight and thats why he took it, biggest payday and oppurtinity

He made 90k vs Ortiz which was his biggest pay.

Maidana getting more to face Soto Karass than Lopez gets to face Canelo. Ridiculous.

He made 90k vs Ortiz which was his biggest pay.

He's getting a little over 1/10th of what Canelo is going
