    :good, for the record unlike most mayweather fans, I think it's despicable and terrible for the sport if mayweather fights berto or mayfield on ppv. i'm still a fan boy admittedly but i have some boundaries and I can criticize him.

    Not spectacular but it's more than 2 times what he made against Porter. Either way, I do see why Brook took the much more easy route instead of taking a short cut that would have clearly boosted his resume.

    Only deluded casual fan northerners think that.

    Brook is a hype job he's fought 34 bums and shawn porter.

    They were still treating him like a prospect at 27 :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Well let's be honest i would say brook has now been managed well, Hearn didn't have him from the start but has got him the right fights now, I know the last two were below standard but not brooks fault, going the states to face porter and winning shows he will fight anyone and now brook v Bradley I know who I would pick to win, if Bradley gets wobbled by Vargas wouldn't take brooks right hand.

    Hearn hasnt DONE **** for Brook, I despite hearn far more than Brook because contrary to what people believe I think Brook is a legit talent. Brook earned that IBF shot, and would have gotten it without Hearn, it's not like Hearn got him that title. Hearn has booked him against Dan and Gavin though which is just pathetic. And I agree Brook beats Bradley right now, Bradley was a different animal in 2012.

    Besides being 2x more than what Brook made vs Porter, it was also the initial offer (or at least that's what the article implies).

    In negotiations TR would have started low (500k) Hearn would have put forward a counter offer (significantly higher than 500k) and they would have gone back and forth etc.

    I doubt the final agreed some would be the first offer TR put on the table.
