One can imagine it was a painful experience for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s 145-pound titleholder Alexander Volkanovski to work as the color commentator for countryman George Kambosos’s recent boxing match at Marvel Stadium.
Not because of Kambosos’s poor showing or the fact that he was commenting on boxing instead of his own sport of mixed martial arts. No, what must have been tiresome for Volkanovski was hearing again and again that George was set to receive “ten million dollars” for his title defense — an amount that is likely more than Volkanovski’s entire career earnings.
