Strange logic. He's been offered 2m for his next fight. He was paid 1m for the Garcia fight.
No doubt you’ll know a lot more about his finances than him.
No doubt you're able to explain why a guy who knows his worth, and accepts 1m paydays, is turning down 2m paydays.

It's certainly an odd situation given that's the info we have.

I don’t have to. It explains itself Broner thinks it’s a crap offer. Same as all other Americans approached except Danny Jacobs, who’s hardly being pulling up trees since signing.

Economics not an obvious strong point of yours here Mick. If you routinely get paid 1m and 'know your value' you'd presumably have an idea that your value was in that region.

A 'slave deal' of more than double that seems hard to get your head around. Pretty much everyone who's seen this news has concluded that Broner is an idiot. An idiot you appear to be fairly alone in siding with...

I can’t say because I haven’t seen the contract. If he’s simply turned it down to earn half, yes, it’s astonishing. I’m guessing there’s a lot, lot more to the offer. Hearn is a known low payer, hence him usually losing purse bids.
