    Which is why he offered Pryor far more than he had ever earned in his life, and Pryor turned it down.

    If Pryor wanted the fight then he should have moved up to welter and work his way up the ladder instead of staying at Jr welter but he didnt and thats his fault.

    Similar percentage wise to what Duran got in the first fight relative to Leonard's purse. Actually Duran got less percentage wise than that.

    If you're the smaller name and you want to make the biggest payday of your life and get the exposure, you're most likely going to get the short end of the stick.
