Fight Purses in Some Boxing Matches

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Cory Spinks $1.2 + Million v Zab Judah $100.000 [2nd fight]

Some of the figures there are scary. Oscar, Sugar Ray, Iron Mike.... Wow.

Yeah, ol' Zab got taken in negotiations but he stated this before and after the fight. He said he knew he would KO Spinks the next fight and then that is when his money would come.

That is what a real fighter does. He takes short money for a great opportunity.

I suppose that's motivation enough to knock someone out...

Don't know how much he made after this fight but I wonder if in retrospect, he feels that was the right decision..?
