Timothy Bradley Jr. will earn $2 million dollars when he takes to the ring against Diego Chaves on Saturday, while Chaves will take home a meager $35,000.

The figures were released by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Thursday. “Desert Storm” will be taking home less than when he fought Manny Pacquiao in April, when Bradley walked away with $6 million.

Vic Drakulich, the referee working the fight, called a stop to the proceedings after Chaves threw an elbow.
