And he beat him, thats why he's got his world ranking and is in line to get a world title shot. He wouldn't be getting one if he hadn't fought Moore. Now he's in that position he's got to play his cards carefully. I'm not knocking Rhodes, he's doing the right thing.
There's no way Hearns offered Rhodes £45,000 to fight Proska. Rhodes has been ordered by the EBU to face his mandatory or he will be stripped. Simple as.
All depends on the title and opponent... I have heard that the money can be very different with different promoters... Some fighters are ticket sellers so that will always help... There was chatter that Appleby got £100k when he lost his title in Belfast...£100k for a British Title fight is very very high. I think the only reason he probably took that fight was because he was going to make more money in that fight than he would in possibly 3 fights...:think He has made some good money and will come again I have no doubt about that...:good
