Wilder took home a cool $1 mil, and Stiverne $910 thousand. The champion should always get more, and it is why Stiverne should split with King.

By the notion the champion should always get more popular fighters would never get to fight for titles. Pac/Floyd/Canelo/Cotto etcetera. You can't punish both fighters because one is popular, the less popular guy makes more money than they normally would fighting a popular guy.
I guess so.Quote:
