That's a grand total of $107 million for being a loser. I can't think of too many current fighters who've amassed half that amount in their entire careers.
I think guys like Oscar and Ray Leonard are so appealing to the general fans, that the fans want to see them broken down and knocked out. They are probably paying more just to see them humbled.
