    Wow Zavek is doing some charity work here, I hope he wins. I thought he was on his way to beating Berto before the cutts took him out.

    For the abuse Hopkins is going to take and for the ratings he's going to bring in to HBO, that's pretty cheap. Insane what some fighters get paid for showcase fights relative to this.

    Man I forgot about that pic. Was Roy getting endorsements from Long John Silvers or Peter Pan Peanut butter?

    B-Hop ain't doing this for money you bunch of numnuts. You think B-Hop needs money? B-Hop is a multi millionaire and has a net worth of 30-40 million and is set for life. He is doing this for legacy and the 750k wouldn't hurt as xtra cash.

    This!! :good

    btw, Zaveck has some personal sponsors that will add some $$ but yes, he could of fight here in Slovenia with some lower ranked guy get his 13k arean filled and took at least 100 000€ (130 000$) but when he got a call from USA he just accept it. Just show how hungry to test the limits he is..so its going to be war!!

    And someone said that he might have $$ problems...nope if he would he wouldnt accept then deal in USA.

    You guys are surprised about $25k purses for these fighters?

    I know a top rated middleweight who made €2000 for his last fight, and he's rated in more than one organisation, very high on one of them.

    I think he's fortunate to get 750k considering his last two performances.

    I agree that 25k seems kinda low for a former world champ with only 2 losses but, he has absolutely no following in the states and noone was exactly knocking down his door to fight him.

    25K is ****ing disgraceful nothing more! No wonder not many european fighters come to USA if they get paid **** like that!
    And people complain about K2... Just stuipid that a fighter like Thurman gets 6 times more than a former World Champ who even was a main event on HBO! But for Zaveck it is just about the chance and not about the money.
