Had NO IDEA Martinez had been so disrespected

[Violent Demise]

From what I hear Williams got 1.2 million. Not exactly that much more. Based on his "win" over Martinez I can't really argue against it. I wasn't paying attention who entered first. But I do know Martinez was announced first. And that was a straight disrespectful towards Martinez.

Just $1.2? That's fair enough then. I would say both got a decent paycheck.

He probably accepted less than ideal conditions in order to avenge his loss. It was a high profile fight and taking a pay cut for a fight that could potentially make him a star was a calculated risk.

It'll pan out in next fight but he deserves everything he gets and then some. That said he should have been docked a point for that goofy Buger king crown.

Paul williams is a bigger name than sergio. i do not disagree with it at all. Sergios next fight should get a pretty steep payout tho.

Makes sense, although it's still unfair. I don't know what the actual difference in pay was, but whatever it was, should've been the other way. Williams may in fact be "the bigger name", but Martinez was and still is the Champ. Regardless, the gamble paid off and now Martinez can sit back and make more demands. Good for him.
