Comments Thread For: Purses: Wilder Gets $1 Million, Stiverne $910,000

I would like to know how an over hype job who can't even sell a PPV Broner makes 2 million and these Heavyweights are paid 50% to 60 % less ? Can some explain this and don't tell it's his mouth cause the guy wouldn't be able to sell 1000 PPV on his own

His"investors" are getting ****ed. I can't believe nobody sees this "ponzi scheme" Uncle Al is running. Fox pays UFC 90million per year to air UFC on its network. Al pays NBC 20million for a few dates, where each show he puts on is over 4 million to operate. With no cross over star (sorry broner and garcia aren't mainstream and Ward and Khan were the only mainstream type of boxers out there) I don't see how he can satisfy hes investors in the long run. He paying these purses out of investor money. With 150 boxer under his advisement. How he can pay all of these guys 1million a fight?

Showtime is pretty much empty, so they'll grab anything they can

Yeah I'm surprised too. $1 million seems like a really low amount for a fight of this caliber, compare it to LSC's fight who is making 75% of what Wilder is making for fighting a total nobody. Probably has to do with prior ratings like others are saying.

Something seems wrong with the headline.

Happy for Wilder. This should help with his daughter.

OK... One may understand that... But do they even pay Stiverne, if all for Wilder's daughter?

How does the unproven challenger get more than the champ???

[turnedup]

Leo's making 750k to fight a glorified second tier sparring partner and folks are worried that Wilder is making 90k more than stiverne? lmao.

[gauze]

50k is a lot of bread for a taxi driver~ he can probably take the week off.

Only a week?

this is NSB, most of us are pulling in 10 million a year. at least. you think 50k is a lot? lol. i blow through that kind of money on the weekend. it's pocket change.

if you think about it, after that 50k is divied up and taxed, that chump will probably only actually get like 30k at best. could you really live on 30k for more than a week? i doubt it.

Looks like Don ain't to old to lay the pipe cuz Stiverne is getting screwed.
