That's not what the articles say. They say he took home 8 mil. If you have something disputing it, then produce it. And sorry, your logic doesn't hold up. Even DLH never did anywhere NEAR 2million buys before he fought PBF. And if this does the projected numbers it say, and it does alot in the US, it will be because of both fighters. PBF draws attention, both good and bad, and thats good for the sport.
I STOPPED READING AFTER ELLERBE'S NAME WAS SPOTTED......and if u notice, that was a joke in response to margarito.....why do you think they put down 8mil + 1 dolar
You're not seriously gonna tell me he wasn't a multi millionare before Oscar too are you? With the HBO contract he had he made a leat 2 million for fighting Bruseles for God's sake!
Here is another article Freddy. http://www.boxingtimes.com/analyses/2006/061104baldomir_mayweather.html
Lets see, just in the Gross Dollars PPVs: Gatti: 350k*$49.99= $17.5m Judah: 370k*$49.99=$18m Baldomir: 350k*$49.99 (or was it less?)=$17.5m Reportedly he was on: Gatti: $3m Judah: $5m Baldomir: $8m Not to mention the $1m a fight slave contract
Even so, unless someone can produce an article with a DIFFERENT number.... We also know Baldomir made over a million to fight PBF. On top of this, the PPV numbers do not lie. Yes, DLH made PBF a bigger name. But there is no way PBF wasn't part of the PPV record. Boxing was bigger in the states when Trinidad and DLH fought and their fight did no where NEAR that.
There are 2 articles corroborating the $8,000,001 purse already :deal How about proof for that 3 million purse you were talking about:deal
Yeah Freddy what are you smokin, facts are facts, Tito, Mosley and Hops didnt give Oscar the most $$$$$$$. A fighter who you said should be on Telefatura did, however Your making yourself look bad with these threads.
The guy is so boring in the ring that all his fans talk about is his purses and how rich he is as if he is going to focking share his money with them. One thing is for sure, he earns more money than he deserves.
Even if you buy the BS premise of this thread Oscar can hang his head on being a loser in the majority of his BIG fights as opposed to someone winning,lol. Wow some consolation. I mentioned this before. Prince opened for the Rolling Stones and ??? Bernard was second fiddle to Oscar & Tito. Now look.. I guarantee Floyd won't have an empty arena on his next fight either. Btw, would you PAY to see Henry Brusseles?? Thats what i thought. Do you guys practice this hating because you're quite good at it I must say..
