Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Lomachenko vs. Kambosos purse thing. I ain’t no fancy boxing expert, but I heard folks talkin’ down at the market, and I got ears, ya know?
So, they sayin’ these two fellas, Loma-somethin’ and this other guy, Kam-bo-sos, they gonna fight. And for what, you ask? Well, for a whole lotta money, that’s what! They call it a “purse,” like a lady’s handbag, but I reckon it’s bigger and filled with greenbacks instead of lipstick and compacts.
Now, from what I gather, this Kambosos fella, he’s Australian, so they fightin’ over there in his neck of the woods. And this purse, they sayin’ it’s ’bout nine million dollars! Can ya believe that? That’s enough money to buy a whole farm, and maybe even a tractor or two!
- I heard that Kambosos is gonna get the bigger slice of the pie, somethin’ like five million dollars. That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I tell ya! He must be a pretty good fighter, this Kambosos. Folks call him “Ferocious,” which sounds scary to me. I hope he don’t bite!
- And this Loma-somethin’ fella, the other one, they say he’s gonna get ’bout three and a half million. That ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at, neither. He’s a Ukrainian fella. Thirty-six years old, they sayin’. Pretty old for boxing, ain’t it? Maybe young compared to me though hahahaha. Still, I hope he knows what he’s doing. All these punches to the head… ain’t good I reckon.
Why they need all that money, I don’t know. Seems like a lot of fuss just to punch each other in the face. But then again, I ain’t never been punched in the face for money, so maybe I just don’t understand. I do know that they’re fightin’ for some kinda belt, somethin’ called the IBF lightweight title. Sounds fancy, but I bet it don’t hold your pants up no better than my old rope belt.
Folks also sayin’ you gotta pay to watch this fight on somethin’ called ESPN+. And they wanna charge ya ten dollars a month! Ten dollars! That’s enough to buy a whole chicken dinner at the diner! Or maybe some nice fabric at the store. Or a new hat. Why do they think I’m made of money too?
I also heard this ain’t Kambosos’s first big fight money. They sayin’ he got six million for fightin’ some other fella named Maxi Hughes. And even more when he fought a fella named Devin Haney. Seems like this fightin’ business pays real good, if you don’t mind gettin’ your nose broken.
This fight, they sayin’ it’s real important. Lots ridin’ on it, whatever that means. Guess it means a lot for them fellas fightin’. I reckon they both want that belt and that money. And whoever wins gets more of both, I imagine. That’s how it usually works, ain’t it?
Anyway, that’s all I know ’bout this Lomachenko vs. Kambosos purse. It’s a whole lotta money, and I reckon them fellas gonna beat each other up pretty good to get it. Me? I’ll stick to watchin’ the chickens in the yard. It’s cheaper, and nobody gets punched in the face.
So, if you wanna watch them boxin’ boys, you gotta pay up to that ESPN+ fellas. And remember what I told ya, Kambosos gets more money, and they’re fightin’ for a belt and a big ol’ pile of cash. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They ain’t gonna wait around all day, you know.
One last thing, I heard some fella named Bob Arum sayin’ that Loma-somethin’ is one of the greatest fighters ever. Guess he must be pretty good then. But still, I wouldn’t wanna get punched in the face for no amount of money. Not even nine million dollars. Nope, not me.
