also it's not like sergio martinez has had a great career

he has like what 2 noteworthy wins in his whole resume? please

Compared to Canelo and Junior Sergio has already had a Hall of Fame career.

[Hougigo]

How these unproven Mexicans are getting more then Sergio is beyond me?

it's simple really.............there a significant draw

Unfortunately that's true.
It doesn't matter how good you are, just how many people you can draw.

well i'd sure as hell hope so canelo is only 22 years old

and as for chavez jr he is fighting for the lineal MW championship of the world at 26

sergio fought nothing but bums till the year 2009

[OnePunch]

Some of those guys are making even more money, but they declare a smaller amount to avoid taxes.

Then tweeting about getting more is probably not a good idea. Why not just take out an ad in the NY Times saying "hey IRS, look over here!!!!"......

Can you really be critical of Sergio's record and then look at Junior's record and also how he got his belt and keep a straight face?

i can now that chavez is fighting martinez

LOL! You guys have been around the sport way too long to act like you don't know what's going on.

The figures on the contracts are what the promoters are paying them upfront before the fight. A lot of fighters take a less amount as an advance because of tax purposes and get money after the fight they don't report.

So Margarito was a bum?

[fceeviper]

only 40,000 for gonzalez? no wonder he said he's up to the ko of the night challenge

I really do hope Jhonny wins and gets the KO of the night. I know he's gonna bright it like he always does.

Lopez' trainer just said he's making more than the released figure on twitter.

I hope so, because 40k for the caliber of fighter that Jhonny and Ponce are, it's a f'nn crime! SMH @ GBP

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but from what I know that's the way it is.
