What do u think?

Check this out

Shane Carwin is only making 40 thousand dollars next Saturday in what will be one of the highest grossing PPV's in history. Think about that. This PPV will easily get 1 million buys.. that is 55 million not counting the gate etc... so 40k when u are generating probably over 60 million! Floyd Mayweather is laughing his ass off at this!

Floyd's last fight with Shane Mosley got 1.5 million PPV buys.. Mayweather pocketed 30 million.

Dana is a genius

im like Tyson in his prime.. u think u can be Buster Douglas? get online!Think u can beat me? I want to see u try, come weak and like Rocky Mick will be cutting your eye!

Yes, they are probably underpaid at this point. But, a lot of them and I MEAN A LOT of them do appearances for amounts from $5,000 to $50,000 and get paid in cash.... and never pay a tax dollar on any of it. While regular every day fan works his tail off and is taxed on every penny he makes.
