    Pavlik only made something around 250,000 to fight Miranda first time around, which was a main event card on HBO. Hell, Kessler made a million fighting Andrade.

    Andrade/Miranda would be a fun fight, would have to go with Andrade though as Miranda is awful on the backfoot.

    Oh right, that was the undercard fight for Taylor-Spinks. There's no way he got paid 700,000 for that, maybe Miranda did as he was the favourite and the one HBO was trying to market.

    It was an equal payday. Arum made sure of it.
    $1,400,000 for the fight total.
     
  8. Kessler would tear his arse apart. Miranda has never been that great, I can't understand the following :S Didn't Pavlik DESTROY him?

    Yea, but there is not much interest with HBO or SHO. They WANT the fight with Miranda and are pushing for it. Kessler says no way!

    Honestly, these 2 are in different leagues

    Look what happened to him against Pavlik. How is he doing better against a guy that is Pavlik's superior in virtually every department

    He's a one handed slugger

    Waste of time
