Always concerns me seeing fighters feverishly chewing gum. Always says to me I'm dry, or I'm shitting myself.

Shocked at how little these two are earning for this in the US
Haye and Bellew got paid way way way more for a non title fight
Golovkin vs. Jacobs fight purses: GGG banks $2.5 million, ‘Miracle Man’ nabs $1.75 million
Gennady Golovkin will put his undefeated record on the line tomorrow night (Sat., Mar. 18, 2017) live on HBO Boxing pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, when he takes on human comeback story Daniel Jacobs. It is easily one of the biggest matchups of 2017 and yet another opportunity for Golovkin to put his knockout power to use.
As arguably the pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet, GGG does not come cheap. According to RingTV’s Mitch Abramson (h/t Bloody Elbow), the 34-year-old champion stands to make a $2.5 million fight purse to put his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, and IBO middleweight titles on the line opposite Jacobs, who will bank a lesser, yet still satisfying, $1.75 million purse. That surpasses Jacobs’ previous career-high of $1.5 million.
Keep in mind, those numbers don’t include any sort of PPV earnings or sponsorship money that GGG and “Miracle Man” will pull in. Saturday’s main event scrap will be Golovkin’s second appearance on HBO PPV, while Jacobs will enjoy his first ever PPV headliner.
MMAmania will deliver LIVE coverage of "Golovkin vs. Jacobs," starting with the HBO pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast starting at 9 p.m. ET. You can watch a live stream of the undercard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OS9rytk-lY starting at 7 p.m. ET.
They've still been trying to sell tickets all week and the PPV buys are projected to be really low. It's a fight between a geezer with no fans (Jacobs was getting booed at the weigh-in - "Brooklyn in da house!!!" Gets booed. Imagine a UK fighter getting coated off in his hometwown. Weird.) and a foreigner.
As far as the dough goes though - Not many fighters are on 7-figure paydays, no American based fighter barring Pac, Canelo and Cotto will get more than $2.5m.
Wilder - American heavyweight champion - got $900,000 his last fight. Thurman-Garcia $2m each. Broner $1m. Ward $2m etc...
There has not been any real interest in the 160 division since Pavlik was the champ not mention the 160 division been pretty barren with not many big names especially in America. Wilder to a lot of people is just a trinket holder America has not had a real heavyweight champ since Holyfeild it has been huge drought. Not to mention MMA taken some eyes off boxing and seems to be growing everywhere in the world but here kinda staying the same.Quote:
