    Errol Spence fight purse was $250,000 while Bundu only got $30,000. Bundu should have never agreed to fight for so little money. If Spence can get a belt at 147lb there is no reason why he can't make the same money as Thurman makes.

    I think that's just the going rate. Very few boxers get rich. A lot don't even quit their day jobs. Friday night fights used to pay fighters 1,500 bucks on average unless you were a star.
