Not bad for a fight nobody was really interested in:
According to a recent report on El Vocero of Puerto Rico, Felix Trinidad arrived home with two whopping checks that totaled slightly more than his earning for his super bout with Oscar De La Hoya at approximately $14 Million Dollars.
Trinidad's attorney Nicolás Medina conceded that Trinidad made at least $7 million plus over $2 million on PPV buys. However, they also had another agreement with King that sweetened the purse.
"Tito was well protected during the negotiation process and right after the fight we picked up both of our checks in full" said Mr. Medina. "Tito put on a great show and I think there were at least 15K people at the Garden. Furthermore, the people of Puerto Rico should be proud. Tito gave is all and has always carried the name of Puerto Rico high in the world."
As far as Roy Jones, his purse was not guaranteed but should be at least the $5 million dollars that was estimated prior to the bout
