Ward getting paid well -
I thought he'd be getting more
Haymons undercard fighters get that muchComment

No they don't. Name one PBC card with a $2.3 mil purse. That's 4 fights on PBCOriginally posted by FrankieBruno View PostComment

Barrera getting more than Walters was initially offered vs Loma I think. F#cked up HBO is spending $2.2M on Ward vs a guy everyone pretty much knows is gonna lose & they won't spend more than a $1M on Loma vs Walters two of the top guys in their divisions. This probably explains why HBO is throwing HBO Boxing less & less money each year.Comment

That's almost gg moneyComment

Ward has a deal with HBO and he leads to Kovalev who also has a deal with HBO. Loma-Walters is a good fight but doesn't lead to anything with HBO.Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostComment

Sounds pretty healthy for both guys. I'm surprised to see Barrera getting 500k. Guy should be really happy with that. There's a chance he might never get it again.Comment

No to mention Walters Would be lucky to sell 500 tickets by himself.Originally posted by about.thousands View Post
I'm excited to see Ward back in the ring, but I Kniw he will quickly remind me of how terrible his fights usually are.Comment

I understand the why's. I just think on average guys should be paid more for good fights vs top guys, in particular this fight between Loma & Walters, than bs fights that may lead somewhere in 8 months, in particular this fight between Ward & Barrera. Barrera has done nothing in boxing. Ward hasn't done anything in years. Again I understand how the economics of this works for HBO its just a lil effed up sometimes in particular this time when I see a good fight being bypassed over a relative small sum of money.Originally posted by about.thousands View PostComment
