"Doing What Thurman Wanted To But Couldn't Do" Spence v Bundu PBC on NBC 8/21 Fight Thread

[Newzz]

Bundu payment was shytty, there is no arguing that if that number is legit. 300k is more than I make in a year so I'm not hating just figured Al base line was higher than that since Garcia got $1mil for Salka and Stevenson and Wilder were getting $1mil for tomato cans

Danny Garcia got $700k...Salka got $125k.


Spence got $300k...Bundu got $30k.

So unless you can give me a reason why Bundu should've made more than $30k when he was a nobody to the casual Boxing fan, a non-draw, never been a Champion, on a 1 fight card, than there's nothing else to say breh



Those 4000 people in attendance, the people who tuned in to watch the fight.....they were all for Spence. Bundu was just a jobber. That's it.



Let me find out you campaigning for the "Trevor Murdoch"'s of Boxing to be paid on the same level of Superstar prospects

He still deserved more than 30k, he was a replacement, there wouldn't be a fight if he didn't take it

but obviously, he needed the money because he took the fight lmao, so at the end of the day, it is what it is.

It's just the way the ball bounces in Boxing as you know. The "name" eats while the no-name starves....until they build themselves a name or some sort of following


Plus more importantly, and as you said which I agree with, "obviously, he needed the money because he took the fight lmao, so at the end of the day, it is what it is"

I'm not saying they should get paid like the names

the 85k Bundu got for Thruman is reasonable, he took a pay cut to be blood a sacrifice against spence lmao

If Spence wasnt with Haymon, I'm sure he wouldnt have seen 300 racks. Also, for all the talk about Arum guiding his fighters well, Garcia, Thurman, Spence, and the rest sure arent complaining.

No doubt Haymon basically stole the Bob Arum blueprint of cherry picking opponents favorably and keeping all the fights in house. Haymon literally made a brand out of keeping his fighters fights in house

Why yall keep excluding the main event?

And if yall going start arguing for nikkas to get shytty paydays cause Al Haymon is writing the check I'm not even interesting in talking about the shyt no more.

6 million people watched the fight. FACT
Bundu got 30k (probably 18K after taxes ) and CTE for fighting one of the biggest names in the division on prime time tv
It's shytty no matter how you try to spin it
If Bundu is a jobber than why the fukk is Spence fighting him in a title eliminator on prime time tv?
Is Haymon getting his guys easy money grabs and title shots against shytty opponents you're saying?

He was suppose to fight The undefeated stablemate of GGG, but he backed out the fight, so Bundu was the last minute replacement
