GBP offer Berto less than he got for Collazo & Urango to fight Mosley!

Apparently Golden Boy have offered Berto $750,000 to fight Mosley, which is less than he got to face Collazo & Urango. According to this article, HBO are putting up $3m for the fight alone, meaning the expect Berto to be on the wrong end of a 75-25 split going on just that. I'm sure there will be at least a couple of mil comin from elsewhere, so this offer is just piss-taking. I don't think Mosley's scared, but they really aren't giving Berto much to go on & if he takes this fight for that split NOBODY could doubt his guts.

I'm not a big fan of Berto, but damn, that's a travesty. Pay the kid.

Not a bad paycheck for a paper champ.

Yea thats a bit sad, to be fair Berto holds a belt and is undefeated. At the very least break the million dollar mark for the kid if your gonna take away his 0.

Yeah, to be fair to Berto, he's been getting in with some decent guys, had a great fight with Collazo & near-shutout Urango. It's also not like he's in some dead division in the way Adamek was when they were talking about a Hopkins fight. He's in the best weight class in boxing & he can't get offered even $1m to fight the best guy in the division
