Oscar reputedly made $20-$30 Million for his LOSS to Hopkins.

John Ruiz takes home over a million dollars on a regular basis.

Even Gatti prefers to work of his jab these days....

Are 7/8 figure paydays commensurate with what we're actually seeing?

It's probably too much but your career is short & it's danger money.

The divide from the highest earners to the lowest is off, as it is in most sports

I agree that PPV costs too much. Compared to baseball or basketball, boxers don't make all that much money especially with the physical risks they take. Remember, the top money earners are only a small percentage of the pro boxers in the world. A large percentage are making little or no money for their efforts.

I agree with you.
