    Over paid: Broner very over paid, Berto is someone else who made a ton of money and isnt that good. At least Broner can draw Berto had 900 people at the Freddy Hernandez fight and made 1.3 millio
    Gary Russel jr.
    Underpaid: Rigo

    Loma got 1.2 for the Linares fight definitely not underpaid.

    I'd say all of the flyweights are the worst paid. The lower your weightclass the less you make. Roman Gonzalez, Juan Francisco Estrada, Inoue, could barely by an expensive car with the money they made in their careers. Really great fighters from the lower weight classes have historically fought for peanuts. Eder Jofre I remember hearing would fly around the globe for 2 grand and traveling expenses. Almost nobody below lightweight's ever made a dime. Not Ricardo Lopez, Mark Johnson, Tapia, or Wonjongkam. I think Donaire's only million dollar purse was for Rigondeaux and Rigondeaux has never had a million dollar purse.

    Chavez Jr, Broner, Wilder, Eubank Jr, were all overpaid in recent years, but nobody has ever given less bang for his buck than Mayweather.
