    You don’t understand the economics of boxing because the economic rainmaker is Tank whereas a lot of people on JT’s hometown don’t know him.

    Exactly my point. Yet Martin got the lion share of the purse. As the champion.

    One guy is the undisputed champion, one guy is Tank.

    If you think that he in reality is so big draw then why there were problems for Tank to have at least Linares in the ring or the same Loma? Campbell?
    Okey, now maybe is easier : 135 lbs champ now is Lopez not both Lopez and Loma.
    Tank does generate so huge money according to you? I think Lopez might be happy, let's make fight at 135 lbs.
    Ohh, yeah, PR about sparring : stories we here will no buy.
    Then there is Haney.
    140 lbs : Taylor, who is not well known according to you.
    Sorry, bunches with music and cinema stars in US does have more followers in social networks than Tank and Garcia toghether taken.
    They really might generate more money in the boxing ring than these hot prospects.
    Doesn't mean your opinion, some music and cinema stars might generate more ppv sales than Tank, Garcia, Loma and Usyk together.
    So, boxing is business and they should sell.

    I don’t think he got the lions share he just got a lot more than he would anywhere else. There is a reason people want to fight AJ because even 30-35% of the purse is a fortune. Martin was like sign me up which actually proves my point that Taylor will get by far a career highest pay day against Tank despite taking the short end of the purse. As the saying goes “money talks and bull**** walks”.

    Then I suspect that for example Eminem with exib fight migh generate more money than Tank and Garcia + Lopez together. This is what this is here: how well known ppl are, social media following and yelling fanbase + fanbase with ppl pressing buttons " Buy PPV for this ".
    LOL.

    Yes he did. Bigger guarantee, plus 50% of PPV.
