He was overheard privately bemoaning the fact that he is still fighting for skimpy purses.
A KO should help Hearns move up the rankings to some bigger payouts
Seemingly not.
With the huge discrepancy in purses, and the fact that the more expensive bouts are for more rounds (virtually assuring a knockout), it seems like it's gonna' be awfully difficult for boxers who got out of the gate slowly to be able to catch up.
I love this tournament structure and it's a very creative idea, but based on what little I've seen so far I think maybe it needs to be tweaked if we ever choose to do this a second time. I think the length of the match should be fixed across all bouts and the discrepancy in purses needs to be narrowed.
Just one man's opinion and maybe it's still too early, but I really do like the concept behind this tournament and would love to see it work out well. Thanks again flexmaster.
