Hearn's take

"Actually, I think it's great," promoter Eddie Hearn said on the purse.

"Saul has got a lot of money, so that's (a factor). but it's still quite unusual.

"I've not really seen a lot of fighters that would take a lot less to do it at home.

"The first round (of offers), it was already much more (than Guadalajara).

"And then when we went back and said, 'No,' it kept going up. And I kept going back, and in the end, (Alvarez) told me to stop. 'Stop. Shut up. We're doing it.'"
