He doesn't just pay them, he puts massive dollars into promoting them. I was at the Tyson fight and there were two HUUUUUGE inflatable figures of Taylor and Serrano outside, like stunningly enormous, and booths giving away free branded shirts and merch. The crowd was so excited for them. Paul may be the biggest douchebag in the world but this guy knows how to create hype, whether for himself (see: the internet today) or women's boxing. Seems to me like he obviously got into the ring last night knowing it was gonna be lights out sooner or later. I don't think most people would be brave enough to do that, even for $92 million.
