Third parties winning purse bids is nothing new.
Exactly. That Klit-Povetkin fight was won by a relative unknown and was a huge bid. I dont see why this matters. Most of the lower paid fighters arent that good and dont deserve life changing money, particularly guys like Wilder and Quillin who havent had any challenges. Pac and Mayweather earned their paydays. Garcia got an obscene amount for fighting that nobody a few weeks back.
