    Its been proven that P4P does not mean a fighter is a draw.
    And Loma is at 130. He actually makes pretty good money.

    Well, all the top guys are facing each other to unify while Wilder rematches the extremely feared, Bermane Stiverne

    I don't think this is all that strange at all, as welters made more than HW's for years too. Bigger fights, bigger paydays.
    And at the moment the #1 HW still makes more as all Cruisers in the tournament combined. It's the #3 Heavy that has to cope with the PBC screwed up purse scale.

    HW is a garbage division. It's Bum Central. Only the return of the One True God Tyson ''The Furious One aka The Gypsy King'' Fury can breath some life into it.

    I thought that both tournaments had $25mil prize pools

    Unless QF's were better paid than semi's the $$$$ don't add up?

    SF (2xloser) 800k + (2x winner) 1.6mil= 4.8mil
    F: (loser) 2mil + (winner) 4mil = 6mil

    $10.8 prize money for SF/F leaves $14.2 for QF's

    Why don't they add up? You needed to pay 8 guys in QFs and only 4 now. I'm sure the winners of QFs also got paid more than the losers.

    The Cruiserweight winner deserves that. He would have to go through at least 2-3 tough fights to get the trophy.

    Wilder is making good money considering the competition he's facing.

    The fighters would get paid more in the Qf stage then they would in the SF stage?

    Also Schaefer stated the winner would make over 10mill throughout the tournament
