Bruce Trampler Conversation with Mike Coppinger over Shakur vs Herring $1 Million Plus Purses

(Mike Coppinger) Sources: Shakur Stevenson and Jamel Herring will both take
home career-high purses tonight. Stevenson, who is managed by James Prince,
will earn ~ $1.7 million. Herring, the champion advised by Daniel Kinahan,
will make ~ $1.5 million. 130-pound title fight up next on ESPN

Bruce Trampler (Matchmaker Toprank Boxing): Why do all you casuals care
about boxer purses? Shakur already had a deal in place. Not rare for
challenger to out-earn champ. Do you care how much baseball, basketball,
football, or hockey players are paid? Or actors and music artists? Or
just boxers?

Mike Coppinger (ESPN Reporter): The salaries for athletes in the NFL, NBA,
NHL and MLB are all reported on, too. Same goes for actors, yes. Nothing
novel about this.
