Made a thread showing how the smaller you are the smaller your purses are a while back. Here are the records for each division. Heavyweight Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield II 30,000,000 Cruiserweight Hill vs Maske 1,500,000 Light Heavyweight Ray Leonard vs Donny Lalonde 15,000,000 Super Middleweight tie Froch vs Groves II 13,000,000 ? Leonard vs Hearns II Middleweight De La Hoya vs Hopkins 30,000,000 Junior Middleweight De La Hoya vs Mayweather 52,000,000 (after television cut) or Mayweather vs Alvarez 41,500,000 Welterweight Mayweather vs Pacquiao 325,000,000 Light Welterweight Pacquiao vs Hatton 12,000,000 Lightweight Pacquiao vs Diaz 3,000,000 ? Super Featherweight Pacquiao vs Morales III 3,000,000 Featherweight Hamed vs Barrera 6,500,000 Super Bantamweight Donaire vs Rigondeaux 1,300,000 Bantamweight Donaire vs Narvaez 725,000 Flyweight ? Junior Flyweight Carbajal vs Gonzalez II 1,000,000 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.
