    A journalist wrote that Thompson would of made 15-30 000 pounds for the original
    Obviously more for the rematch
    Price I don't know

    Whatever Thompson got for the rematch, it obviously wasn't enough.

    Does anyone know if he has enough donation money for his wife's new wheelchair yet?

    Certainly only a sliver of what he made in Klitschko I & II.

    There is a trade-off: he made less to pick up a couple of career-defining on-the-road underdog knockouts as opposed to making oodles more to get painfully knocked out twice...

    Needless to say, whichever pair he looks on more fondly (the glorious or the lucrative) they are the four biggest nights of Thompson's professional life.







    unless you count Thunder Box :yep

    The rematch clause locked Thompson in for the purse for the second fight.

    Probably the best post fight interview ever. Hope the wife's hips were OK :)

    He probably secured enough in the rematch to buy her replacements. :yep

    Incidentally, do we know how the old gal looks?

    After Price was counted out in the first fight, they showed Tony walking right over to her and her all excited saying, "I knew you could do it, Baby!" It was a pretty cute moment.

    He should be in line for some cash with those wins.

    that's the thing with down to earth, average or below average looking women.


    YOU KNOW they love you for you.


    The super hot ones...that's when the doubt creeps in.
