    Maybe if he goes brole. Who knows.

    Some fighters waste their money.

    Most are never good enough in the first place to be in a position to make good money.

    And yes, some are screwed by their management/promotion

    Im sorry, but Eric Crumble was never going to be a millionaire regardless of management.

    To make money, you have to make money for someone else first. Otherwise, why else would you get paid that amount.

    and my point berto is not world class b level at best and as he makes world class money . imo he should be drafted out of that scheme
    so fighters who did not earn well for putting the health at risk still get decent help like them fighters with decent managment / promtion

    He gets what he negotiates.

    Would you rather he asked for less than he can get?

    And ill repeat, Berto getting good money has nothing to do with some fighters getting bad purses.

    Its not like its all the one big pot of money!

    Id like to see all fighters maximise their earning potential

    he's talking about matthyse and berto not broner you idiot.you must be joking matthysse with his hard hitting all action style would be known with or without al gaymon.broner isn't popular as in likeable people watch to see him lose.good to see your so impressed with broner's so called personality if you can call being an obnoxious clown personality.the only thing obvious about broner is that he is an overrated bum.

    imagine how much less they could have gotten Gonzalez vs Yaegashi for.
