Word. Somehow when Hatton and Mayweather fought on a PPV of 800,000 buys they managed to share about $30 million between them. Paying a main fighter even 2 and a half million on 500,000 buys is ripping them off. Hopefully sometime in the future fighters will be able to move away from the fighting organisation model and more towards the boxing model and get paid properly for their labours.
