    Max I can see there purse being is 1 million. So it is pretty significant.

    If he is SCARED of Rios, why would a 100k winning incentive sway him from pulling out?

    Being SCARED and being confident in one's chances to win are kind of mutually exclusive. :patsch

    10% increase, not too shabby.

    Too bad Gamboa is a scared little Cuban *****.

    it is significant, 1 mil less taxes and other fees would net them less so that 100k is pretty big. You could buy lots of nice things with that

    Actually, it's kind of a step in the right direction. Winners incentives are a good way to get good, hard fought contests.

    This is where the UFC has a good idea. They have Submission of the night, KO of the night, Fight of the night etc.

    If 2 prelim guys are battling their hearts out, they should be given some monetary prize for giving the crowd their money's worth. Similarly for KOs.
