    I said fighters sub 147 who are exceptional can get noticed but not those sub 126.

    The top flyweights have made 1 million dollar purses just that one time. Ricardo Lopez and Mark Too Sharp Johnson didn't ever see a million dollar purse despite being top 10 talents either. I don't know what Jimmy Wilde, Miguel Canto, Pascual Perez, Benny Lynch, Fidel LaBarba, or Pongsaklek Wonjongkam made, but I guarantee it was only a couple thousand dollars a fight.
