"Spinks made $1.2 million for the bout compared to a paltry $100,000 for Judah."

Despite the fact that he made that little money he has set himself up for big paydays now that he is the champ.

That impressed me tremendously. I really didn't like Zab before the fight. Now that it's done I can't say I like him but he's earned my respect and he's back to square one. But it wasn't just the fact that he was willing to go to Spink's back yard and fight for 1/12 the amount Spinks was getting (which is just freaking crazy) it was how he held back in that last round looking to the ref to stop it. That was an amazing show of restraint that few boxers posess.

On a side note. That is exactly what I thought JMM should have done for the Pacquiao rematch. Everyone knows he is not the draw. He only got paid around $100K for his last fight. $700K or whatever it was is a good pay day for him. Pacquiao like Gatti is the one who sells tickets. JMM has to be against someone exciting to make it a fight. That's why Morales got the big bucks. He is an exciting fighter in his own right.
