Also I know it was a long time ago but did those purses seem low to you for such a big fight ? Or was that good for the time for a SW matchup ??
700k Benn, 250k Gman
I think Benns purse sounds about right. I remember him wanting 1m for the Second Eubank fight and that was considered a bit OTT at the time. I think it said Mcclellan earned more in this fight than he ever had, 250k is a bit low but its all relitive to what you normally earn I guess.
Was it just me who saw McClellan doing the blinking thing in the build up to the fight just hitting the pads?
Theres an extended version on next tuesday at 9pm.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
