It's pretty sad to know that he's never made a million for a fight, despite being in so many classics. His performance in the third fight with Rafa was awesome.
Would love to see him fight soon again.. Last I heard, there were talks of him fighting Marquez in a 4th fight or possibly even Juan Manuel Lopez..
My fav fighter atm, and will most likey become my fav fighter of all time (replacing Hagler) when he hangs up the gloves, true warrior and a all round nice guy. I hope he lands a few big pay days, but id like him to stay at his weight and not go up chasing any bigger guys just for more money.
The pay he is receiving is disgusting , you are correct.. I am reminded of another man i followed . In 1996 i was at the press conference for Tyson v Holyfield.. I saw Holyfield, Tyson, Moorer, Botha, Akinwande, Zolkin and even Christie Martin split a massive multi million purse down amongst themselves while down the card boxing in his 17 th world title defence Ricardo Lopez was getting paid reletive peanuts (even less tha Martin) it broke my heart.. The fat cats were milking Don Kings overflowing supercard at the MGM , yet the only fighter with any championship longevity (lopez) was being paid the least of all of em.. $30,000 !!! WTF..
