guaranteed money malarky is silly, it'd be better if the said "the winner gets this much and the loser gets that much"

You know, I've always thought that would be a good idea and it's only 'businessmen' who think otherwise. How many fighters could we list who have had supposedly shock wins for peanuts and never capitalize? Although in the perverse world of boxing, it would end up with 'champions' being even more awkward when arranging fights.

Can you believe Wright turned down something like $1.7 million to meet Mosley a few years back?!
Whoever was advising him at the time is no doubt delivering pizzas these days.
