Difference is, Russell is already a world champion..

Crawford came over to WIN a world title.

Burns was a world champion. Warrington isn't.

For Joseph Diaz he got a guaranteed $1.4m plus 60% of PPV split share. His last 2 fights he got $1m plus either 50% or 60% of PPV.

Ring magazine champion, so generally regarded as the no 1 in the world.

The fights weren’t on PPV though were they? What’s their source for the numbers? Crazy if he actually got $1m for each of his last fights. Shows how stupid the pay scale is over there now.

Too right. I’m amazed Kid G didn’t sign that huge 4 fight PBC deal that was strongly hinted at. He’d be one of the biggest earners in British boxing.

though i guess for puggys sake it would help if russell was some ppv star


what happened to that massive kid g pbc deal btw?

He was the main event for Diaz and Nyambayar according to Boxrec. I don't see what you gain from claiming otherwise.

Kid G was offered deals from 3 companies before purse bids. He thinks he'll be in a stronger position with the belt.
