    Well at least the champion should get paid equal or more. For example Ruiz in the second Joshua fight.

    No. Because some fighters aren't deserving of it. For example, Anthony Joshua. He sells out stadiums, has a massive global appeal, he's marketable and he's one of the most followed and watched fighters. And then you have someone like Pulev, not known by the casuals, little global appeal and not that marketable. Some fighters aren't well-known to causals, lack the pull to get someone to sit down and watch them and aren't known to sell pay-per view fights.

    Spot on. There's no way to enforce this. And even if such a split is put in place, you can imagine greedy fighters and managers would find a loophole or way through it. With "Sponsorship fees", or other shady deals.
