    Some promoters and posters like to include those numbers in there endlessly boring argument of who the ‘A’ side is. Just an excuse to avoid the matchups boxing needs to see.

    Exactly. Promoters especially are a stain on the sport.

    Trusted source? If so that’s not bad but still don’t know how you go from that to 2mil buys with fury.

    I think his fight with fury does about 6-700k

    B-Side for a B-Level fighter, manufactured champ.

    And we all know what the B stands for

    If that number is correct... it's not awful, but far from OKAY.

    Shame I dont believe the figure.

    HW boxing champ boxing in their own country should be able to do at the very least 1.5 mill even against a F class opponent like a Breazeale, Szpilka, Gerald Washington, Duhaupas, Scuba Scott, and a Molina. Even more so if said HW champ is a legitimate KO artist. I would be ashamed to show my face in public if I was a HW world champion and I did anything less than that.

    People actually believe PPVs are earned by a fighter as opposed to being largely manufactured by promotional machinery and dependent on available markets of idiots and commercial circumstances.

    If you believe they prove the quality of the fighter, you must believe prime Eubank Jr is superior to prime Froch, Golovkin. You must believe prime AJ is superior to prime Wlad/Vitali. And so on.
