Crawford Made 3 Million For Horn And Lomachenko Made 1.5 Million For Linares...

Nobody is following you around dumbass, stop posting garbage on the main forum and you won't draw attention to yourself. Simple as that.

As for the other accusations that's quite the imagination you have there, I've never been involved with any of the stupid like boosting.

 

The above is ridiculous..

"You think everything is a popularity contest" - Erm... well yeah. Popularity is the name of this game. Popular fighters bring in the viewers and thus earn the big money. That's why Sweet Pea earned a fraction of what a guy he easily beat in JCC earned and many talented fighters earned a lot less than Gatti.

Less than hugely popular American get overpaid because they expect more. It's as simple as that. The demand more because they come from developed countries and believe other opportunities to be out there if they don't get what they want. They also get the support of their wealthier countrymen to support their fights be they good or bad. It's the same with fighters from the UK.

And style wise boxing insiders always prefer the slicker style of Crawford to the pressuring style of a Golovkin. That's just the way it is. Doesn't bother me at all. There are a lot of styles that a pretty much ruled out of ever being considered p4p #1 not matter how effective they are for a guy.

 

No it’s not idiot. 97k doesn’t grant you 50-50. Liam Smith out did all your ppv combined bro. It’s called reality bro. It matters. These are not conspiracies or bias. Mr Popular isn’t a draw. Mr Popularity at the end of the day is GBP puppet. How do you explain this. Come back to reality bro. Numbers matter. Reality matters still even today regardless if you little fanboys want to disregard it and live in some fantasy world.

 

It's simple. Crawford has fought better opponents. Also, Horn brought a lot of publicity to the fight with the 'win' over PAC and really promoted the fight well, so I can see why Crawford was paid what he was paid.

If Loma would've immediately rematched Salido and won in dominate fashion it would've really made the Loma-Mikey Garcia fight big, and both fighters could make some good money, but his biggest claim to fame is a win over Linares.

 

I'm embarrassed for you here.

You don't seem to realise that I'm saying Golovkin isn't as popular as some diehards on these boards would make out if you look at his numbers and that he doesn't have a blue passport to make up for that.

Secondly anyone who quotes the widely discredited 97k number is quite simply a moron. One stupid guy said it on Twitter and then loads of other stupid guys with a stupid agenda then jumped on it and kept repeating it no matter how stupid it made their stupid asses look. If you're happy to be seen as a dumbass keep chucking that around but you can undermine Golivkin's drawing power with the more credible numbers which in all honesty aren't that impressive either.

 

You said popularity is everything. I just used one case on why it isn’t. Didn’t even use the big guns.

 

These are the simple facts.
Crawford is an American ,fighting in america. As a result he will always have huge support.
Lomachenko is from the arsehole of no where in ukraine fighting in America. No built in fan base, no patriotic fans tuning in to cheer him on, nothing.
That is all the money numbers mean. If the roles were reversed and everyone was fighting in ukraine and russia then then numbers would be reversed mlre than likely.

Anyone who tries to make anything more out of this and claim its about merit is an idiot. Think about it, mcgregor received like the third highest purse of all time, if he on merit the third greatest boxer ever? Of course not he is just a lot more marketable

 

What the **** are you on about? Are you a bit slow? Popularity is everything in boxing. You need to be a draw to earn the big bucks. It's as simple as that.

 

You have to fight the best and beat the best. This is why Mr Popular triple stripped isn’t a draw. Bro. Manny was more “popular” than Floyd but who got the bigger numbers? Floyd. You can act like Manny beating a drained Hoya was the greatest thing you ever saw and you rated the win better than Floyd’s but people still have common sense and aren’t falling for those cheap ass narratives. These are the type of narratives being used to bring up Gennady and Loma.

These dudes have favorable public opinion but you clowns don’t buy his fights. G’s liked more just as Manny was liked more than Floyd but why are these guys falling short to the hated guy? I watch this same broken record scenario play out all the time and it really makes me wonder is all of boxing in on this **** because it never changes. Manny fans literally jump ship to the Golovkin band wagon and here they are replaying the same exact role.

G deserves 50-50. Canelo is ducking him. I mean when are these clowns going to realize they’re designed to always go for the loser in the story. It’s funny to me.

 

Nationality and popularity.

Simple as that. If Crawford was from Madagascar, he wouldnt be pushed as much or given that Diva treatment.

 

maybe Crawford being undefeated, clearing out a division, being a undisputed champion, and fighting a undefeated champion that beat manny a boxing legend had something to do with the payday.

this has nothing to do with Loma a very skilled boxer in his right.

This is just marketing and people wanting to see the guy that beat manny going against a guy moving up to ww.

 

Mayweather was a popular choice to watch if he wasn't as admired as much as Manny outside of the ring. He had good viewing figures waaaay before Pac made his way to being a ppv draw. You're conflating the popularity of performances and boxing ability with how much the public like these fighters as people.

As far as this conversation goes I don't care if the man in the street would prefer to go for a beer with one fighter over another - that's not the metric we're looking at here which is viewership and earning.

Let me give you an example. Manchester United are a very popular team because a) they have a lot of fans who are willing to pay money to watch and b) they are enough of a draw that fans of other teams even those that hate them are willing to pay money to watch them play against their and other teams. The majority of football fans want to see them lose and yet they are still considered popular and a draw. See what I'm saying?
