http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/m...antonio_margarito_to_face_winner_of_zab_.html Goossen said that he had paid Margarito the most money that he had ever earned in his career ($1.6 million) when he fought Williams last year. Margarito earned $1.5 million for his fight against Cotto.
That is weird. Marge - Cotto was a MUCH bigger fight, surely this is without a cut of the PPV like tam said?
The purses don't tell the whole story. Because of the legal dispute before Williams-Margarito, Margarito's 80% of the purse bid would've been about $1.2...but he got a bonus of $395,000 on top of that...while Top Rank got Margarito signed to an extension.
