He struggled with Cano and he was stopped by Hatton and Khan, and lost to Cotto. At this point, in my opinion, Paulie signed up for this fight for the pay check. He's making $1.25M.

By the way, is it me or is paying Broner $1.5M to face Paulie just completely ridiculous? To put it in perspective, Cano made $150k for his fight against Paulie. Cano made 10% Broner's pay check for facing the same guy. It's not like the fight is in Cincinnati so there is no way Broner is influencing ticket sales to such an extent that it makes it worth it to pay him that much money to face Paulie.
Paulie's last fight was an undercard fight. This is a main event. Broner will no doubt have a contract minimum of over a million and Paulie has been offered more than GBP would pay him for any other fight so that he gives Broner the belt opportunity.

They're hoping Paulie in a big fight plus Broner's growing shall we say notoriety is going to sell lots of tickets and Broner already attracts main event TV money so they should make money and add value to their Broner product.
