Al's paying thoses boxers what they deserve.

im very old school on that aspect..you fight and win the right fights you should get paid...being paid for being mediocre does not compute...andre berto just happens to be the perfect example of this...the reason why @LeVraiPapi can't win an argument and say so and so is a soft touch or a hype job lol

Guys were and still are getting jerked left and right. Boxers with great records have gotten raped by the Arums and Kings for the longest. I'm new school on that aspect. A guy puts his body on the line and he should be properly compensated.

Glad he's being wise with his money. Dude is a great human being. I remember seeing him in Haiti after then Earthquake out there helping and shyt. I congratulated him on the win against Collazo and Urango.

Just seeing him out there actually getting his hands dirty and giving a fukk was awesome. Better than your favorite fighter saying some ignorant shyt like "What has Africa done for me?"

Yeah he won me over with that as well, he's a good dude.

think someone who works in a field where they risk their health and there is a high possibility of dying shouldn't be paid well brehs

exactly the risk is there whether you are fighting a jobber or the #1 p4p opponent. They should be paid well.

So me talking about my dislike of nikkas fighting jobbers/soft touches for big money instead of better competition on their level or me thinking Andre berto is one of the things I see wrong about boxing is recent news to people?!!! :dahell:

Brolic... Alcoholics

If we're talking about his skill then I have to agree with you pat. I jumped off the bandwagon after the Collazo fight. I'm not sure if it's regression or if he just wasn't ready for that comp. But the one thing I've always liked about Berto and Broner to an extent is that they will fight anybody at anytime. Dude has always fought the best in his tier and he's won some and lost some.

Counter my point about Sergei getting less than Pascal last year :beli: Pat 'back in my day fighters fought for their own set of gloves' Scorpio
smoke i dont know if you can read in between the lines
the ones who are caping for berto being paid like he is are the ones who dont really care if someone like kovalev is getting paid or not :mjpls:
i have absolutely no idea what both cats get paid because what they get paid doesn't get paraded around as a career accomplishment lol...kovalev should be getting paid big money..certainly more than pascal considering he holds 3 of the belts at light heavyweight..and thats just as messed up...but its only outrageous on this side of the spectrum and not the other for some reason :skip:

Pat I have a masters in English lit (I don't) so I can certainly read between the lines. I understand the old school mentality. Show and prove. Sure Berto has been cashing MM checks since before he deserved it :yeshrug: Bottom line is all these cats from brazillian hairdressers to p4p talents should be getting properly breh.

Nothing wrong with the promoters making a killing without taking 1 punch but the fighters making what YOU assume to be too much is what has your panties in a bunch?


Go look at how nikkas outside of the top 15 are living and tell me these dudes make too much. Yeah thought so.

look at our boxing mod yall.
