    Jones and Soto-Karass will earn $75,000 each.

    In another welterweight match up, 30-year-old Mike Alvarado (28-0, 20 KOs) of Colorado is scheduled to make $20,000 in pursuit of his third straight victory when he takes on 27-year-old Dean Harrison (16-4, five KOs) of England, who will make $8,000.

    In yet another welterweight bout, 24-year-old southpaw Mark Jason Melligan (20-2, 14 KOs) of the Philippines will pursue his fifth straight victory and his third knockout during that stretch against 23-year-old Gabriel Martinez (27-1-1, 14 KOs) of Mexico, who is riding an 10-bout winning streak that includes five knockouts.

    Melligan will earn $10,000 compared to Martinez's $6,000

    Its no wonder many people complained that Andre Berto was overpaid, with $950,000 when he last fought in an undercard in HBO B.A.D.. against Freddy Hernandez.

    ****in' eh! Thats why HBO needs to get into the bussiness of putting the top lightweights together more often b/c its soo much cheeper then putting together the heavier guys. I mean think about it, the Hopkins Pascal fight had to go to purse bid because GYM couldn't garauntee Pascal 1.5 mil, knock off 60 lbs and you can get a whole card, including the top two 118 lbers for half that. They really need to turn BAD into more of a lower weights showcase program b/c the bang for the buck is soo much more.

    Thats scandalous compared to what Bradley and Alexander got, but thats the cost for being smaller than a featherweight.

    Same here.

    Its shame when two little warriors like Donaire and Montiel get half of what that fraud Berthoe gets.

    I think that is good money for a night's work. That being said they both deserve more.
