his promoters matchroom say that barker purse for the martinez fight will be 6-7 times more than a "routine" defence of his europea middleweight title. so whats the purse for a routine euro title fight?? 20-30k??? if that the case he is getting 200k + great payday
still 200k is a good purse for barker , i expect martinez to get paid a few mil as his contract with dibella was huge when announced
according to dan rafael here is martinez and oppenent purse for last fight Sergio Martinez - $1m Sergiy Dzinziruk - $850,000 allthough there are probably more than that for martinez
I know Geale has a belt but he has about as much name recognition as Barker has in the states, which is none.
Better fight imo. Can't imagine Geale taking it though when there's plenty of cash to be made in Oz fighting the likes of Mundine or Soliman.
Geale? I thought the IBF were having a tourney to determine his next opponent so Geale would have cherry picked defences?
