The Champion Bermane Stiverne is getting 900K for the fight. Wilder gets 2.0M$. WTF Champion should get more than challenger. Seems like Wilder just took payday and after the fight we won't hear about him anymore. This is what Stiverne is going to do to Wilder: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPoXYOSyQ98[/url]
One is American, the other is not. One is with Al "overpay" Haymon, the other with Don "I don't know where the money went" King
Wilder isn't getting 2mil he is getting 1mil which was his agreement with Golden Boy if he got a 'title' fight.
Anyone who follows Boxing knows he isn't ready this is the Gerry ****ey story 30 years later. At least Gerry got a huge payday after taxes and expenditures to the manager/promoter Wilder is going to be left with about $330,000 take home pay. Not bad for the average person but his stock is going to plummet if he loses. Wilder is a novice. He has fought nothing but bums has only been a handful of rounds in his fights never been past the 4th round in a fight, and has an abysmal Glass Jaw. This is a recipe for disaster I expect a brutal and embarrassing KO by Stiverne in the first 2 or 3 rounds.
Basically Chisora and Fury got paid more to fight each other than these two guys are getting for a 'title fight'...
Well it is a Haitian/Canadian against an inexperienced American in Las Vegas who has been buried on Golden Boy undercards or fought in obscure locations and networks. I wouldn't expect it to be a huge ticket seller.
canelo arguably lost 3 of his last four fights and gets a huge HBO contract while equal or beter talents like rigo and lara get schit...i brought this up and i was told to stfu because that's the "business" of boxing.
