That's what I was thinking. Broner's reported purses are usually $1 million so how much is he really getting that 2M seems like lowball offer to him?

You should hear Danny Garcia's story of before and after Haymon.
Before Haymon:
- ramen noodles
- I might need to get a job
- boxing isn't what it's cracked up to be
I highly doubt broner is getting close to 7 million per year with AlThat's what I was thinking. Broner's reported purses are usually $1 million so how much is he really getting that 2M seems like lowball offer to him?

Lomachenko Gives Up WBO 130 Title, Remains at Lightweight
By Keith Idec
As expected, Vasiliy Lomachenko has decided to remain at lightweight for his next fight.
Lomachenko officially gave up his WBO junior lightweight title Wednesday. His promoter, Top Rank Inc., informed the WBO of Lomachenko’s choice to stay at 135 pounds, the division in which he stopped Jorge Linares in the 10th round May 12 to win the WBA world lightweight title.
The 30-year-old Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) said in the immediate aftermath of his victory that he would weigh his options before deciding whether to stay at 135 pounds or move back down to compete in the 130-pound division.

The skillful Ukrainian southpaw is expected to return to the ring August 25 at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Promoter Bob Arum has mentioned WBO lightweight champion Ray Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs, 1 NC), who’s also promoted by Arum’s Top Rank, as a potential opponent.
Lomachenko became a three-division champion in just his 12th professional bout by beating Linares with a perfectly placed body shot 11 days ago at Madison Square Garden.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist won the WBO junior lightweight championship by knocking out Puerto Rico’s Rocky Martinez in the fifth round of their June 2016 bout in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. He defended that title four times before facing Venezuela’s Linares (44-4, 27 KOs).
Carl Moretti, Top Rank’s vice president of boxing operations, explained Lomachenko’s decision in a letter issued Wednesday to WBO president Francisco Valcarcel.
“I am writing you on behalf of Team Lomachenko,” Moretti wrote. “As you are well aware, on May 12 Vasiliy moved up in weight to challenge WBA Lightweight champion Jorge Linares. As you saw, he was successful in capturing the lightweight title. Vasiliy wishes to continue to campaign in the lightweight division, therefore, we respectfully relinquish our WBO Junior Lightweight title so that an opportunity may be given to the ranked contenders to compete for the vacant belt.”
Puerto Rico’s Christopher Diaz (23-0, 15 KOs), who’s ranked No. 1 by the WBO, and Japan’s Masayuki Ito (23-1-1, 12 KOs), who’s ranked No. 2, are expected to fight for the WBO junior lightweight crown Lomachenko relinquished July 28 in Kissimmee, Florida. Like Lomachenko, Diaz is promoted by Top Rank.

Oscar Valdez's Manager Gives Status on Injury, Ring Return
By Steve Kim
Oscar Valdez's victory over Scott Quigg on March 10th on a rainy night at the StubHub Center came at quite a cost.
Valdez - facing a Quigg who didn't even try and make the featherweight limit and came in heavy and thus ineligible to win the WBO featherweight title - suffered a fractured jaw, which hospitalized him for a few days after the fight.
When asked how his fighter was doing, manager Frank Espinoza told BoxingScene.com - "Since his fight he's been back to the doctor four times in two-and-a-half months. His progress has come along well. The wire that was in his jaw has been removed so he's now able to eat solid food. We have periodic checks with the doctor. He'll be back there in June for another check-up."

It's unclear if Valdez (the reigning WBO 126-pound titlist) will return to the ring in 2018.
"That's solely up to the doctors discretion, it's his call," said Espinoza, who makes it clear that Valdez's return to the ring will not be handled recklessly.
"Listen, he's had 36 hard, tough rounds and now after suffering a serious injury to his jaw, I have a responsibility to my client to do what's right for him and his long-term future. He's the type of guy that will literally fight anybody - as he showed back in March - and there will be plenty of time to make the big fights in the featherweight division but for the time being we will take the appropriate fights to bring Oscar back."
The 27-year old Valdez (24-0, 19 KO's) won the WBO strap in the summer of 2016 by blasting out Matias Rueda in two rounds and has made three successful title defenses.
"Oscar will be back stronger and better than ever and he'll be involved in some of the best fights in the division but again, there will be a process in getting there. That's my job as a manager to do what's in his best interest," stated Espinoza.
