There has been lots of controversy recently over which fighter in a bout gets the bigger purse-share, and how much disparity there should be. This has even lead to accusations of ducking. Should WHO WINS play a bigger role? See poll. FYI: In Tyson McBride, Kevin got $75,000 and Mike got $5M. That's a 98.5 % - 1.5 % split.
Considering that Tyson brought all the attention and the asses in the seats, he prolly got what he was worth, so did McBride, so its fair really.
No doubt, Mike was the draw, but it was still a one-sided split. It used to be called prize-fighting. Maybe Mike would have fought a little harder if he had something riding on the outcome.
i think in a unification fight it should be 60-40 to the winner in a mandatory 65-35 to the champ a voluntary 70-30
Should be 80%-20% across the board. Why should some coast and bore the fans and still make millions. Thats just plain stupid. Would probably help with the ridiculous costs of these PPVs !!!
