Makes sense doesn't it?

Santa Cruz getting paid big for another bum. Let's just hope that he goes easy on this scrub, guy's got a taxi to drive on Monday.

50k is a lot of bread for a taxi driver~ he can probably take the week off.

Wow the champ gets paid less. Well, he shouldve made the fight earlier instead of being a don king pawn and waiting almost a year to defend that said title

That Santa Cruz purse is ridiculous. However, that is one of the benefits of being an Al Haymon fighter.

Not hating but its crazy LSC getting paid like that to fight a nobody again. No wonder he named his baby Al.

[Jewish-Reptile]

I wanna fiight for Haymon on one of his cards.

Lol. Showtime spending nearly 10% of their annual budget on their first two fights, that combined might last less than 6 rounds.
