you know i dont ever hear about the bonuses in boxing like you always hear about it on UFC events. Does Golden Boy just do that or what?

I don't know how many times GB has done it but this event was "Knock out Kings II" ,.the last knock out kings event if I remember correctly was Canelo vs Lopez which GB had a KO bonus.

This is something boxing promoters used to do way back in the day but stopped for whatever reason, I think Don King did something similar for his legendary stacked cards.

I know Oscar is buddy buddy with Dana White and admires some of his business models and I believe Oscar said he wanted to start doing something similar. Would be nice if they did it for all of their cards not just "knockout kings"...maybe they will.

Kinda feel bad for berto. Dude did show some heart fighting with one arm and to get KOd like that last round. Tough loss. His eyes were getting swollen like against Guerrero. I think he should probably retire, he just doesn't look good anymore, even though he was always overrated. He just fights stupid and always finds away to get in trouble. Defense and footwork really bad.

The only reason Berto got all the hype is b/c of his body and the hope he would fill the void created after Judahs loss to Tzu. He had that similar quick uppercut delivery as Judah. They both were big fight losers. Line em up w/ Rocky Juarez
