M&R Boxing wins Alvarado-Rosales purse bid

Fightnews.com® previously reported that the IBF had ordered a super flyweight eliminator between former world champions and management stablemates Felix Alvarado (38-3, 33 KOs) and Cristofer Rosales (35-6, 21 KOs). The bout is to determine the #1 mandatory challenger to current champion Fernando Martinez. M&R Boxing, who promotes Alvarado, won with a bid of $2,500. Matchroom, who promotes Rosales, did not bid.

Alvarado’s’ manager William Ramirez (WRAM Boxing) gave some insight on the purse bid. “This is a fight which when it was ordered I was excited for. However, we could never come to terms with the Rosales team and therefore it went to purse bid. As you know, I am always confident in my fighter. Unfortunately no one showed on Rosales’ part.”

  • $2500??? Maybe I should start bidding on fights! Don’t know what I would do with one should I win, but winning would be fun!

    • I would love to know more about what fighters make. on a couple of occasions ppv undercard purses were made known…but I do not think it is the norm.

      • Since the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act came into being the purses are public record. I guess that you could Google and see where to find the information that you are interesrd in.

  • waste of time no 2 world class fighters are going to fight for a combine $ 2,5 grand

  • That purse bid is an insult to both fighters unless it’s
    a typo wonder if it’s a typo.
