Million Dollar Babies
This may or may not work as a discussion topic, but it's something new I think. The question is who from current active boxers are guaranteed a one million dollar purse.
I'll get rid of a few of the easy ones as I think the debate from boxing fans maybe interesting after that point. Maybe people will over value, under value certain boxers.
Floyd,
Manny,
both k'bros,
Canelo,
Chavez junior,
Cotto,
I'd also be interested in how many big earners there are today. Please add to the list and debate.

Nice topic
Martinez, Bute before the spanking, Bhop wouldn't fight for less than a mill either

I'll stick my neck out and say Haye. If he can get GBP3.5 million for fighting Chisora then I think any fight he's in he could ask for at least a million. Love him or hate him, his fights sell.

Re: Million Dollar Babies
Donaire you would think will be earning that moneyin the future if he isnt already, not sure what he would get from his fan base back home though, I remember reading it was all free to air over there. Froch would make that money from a home fight I would think perhaps not abroad, may depend on who he is fighting rather than him fighting anybody.

Re: Million Dollar Babies
I remember reading that only Taylor was guaranteed 1million in tv money from Showtime from the first round in the super 6, now that's not to say that guys like Kessler and Abraham didn't earn that kind of money from gate an home tv money.
Also remember being shocked that Vasquez and Marquez only got 750,000 for their 3rd bout, which basically finished their careers.

Re: Million Dollar Babies
Dawson and ward are also in the million+ bracket I'd imagine.

Re: Million Dollar Babies
Froch got about $700k+ for the ward fight and ward about $900k so I assume its their respective record purses
Donaire, Gamboa (wanted about $3mil for both rios and Lopez fights) probably have hit the $1mil mark but wouldn't say they are guaranteed that figure
Martinez has hit that purse a few times including dzinzuruk and Williams 1 & 2
Bradley was guaranteed $1.3mil for all of his fights in his last contract although not sure he will be able get another contract that good

Re: Million Dollar Babies
What do you think Ortiz earns these days? I think a decent opponent will put him in the 1 Mil bracket.
I think there's a few that could get that kind of money with very good opponents but I can't think of anyone else who would guarantee it, excluding people who would come out of retirement. I imagine if Lewis, Calzaghe, De La Hoya or Mosley came out of retirement they would have people throwing money at them. Mosley to a lesser extent but I still think he could reach 1 Mil with the right opponent.
