Kessler and Abraham are too, because they've already built their fanbases in Europe. Ward has only been champion since 2009, but he is the unified WBC,WBA and Ring Mag champion and the S6 trophy holder. He's got both Showtime and HBO pulling on him because there is a massive hunger for a new American fighter going up there in the P4P rankings and he's an obvious prospect for future P4P #1. Kessler,Abraham,Froch and Bute have all earned good money, but Ward will earn more than all of them at the end of the day. He's only starting, they're all at the end of their roads, they're all in their 30s, he's young, fresh and THE CHAMP.
OK, how big is This content is protected purse per fight ?? In the fight against Ward / Froch how much it was his share purse ??
There is a lot of: This message is hidden because MrMagic is on your ignore list. ...here. Now, as for Bute haters, they are no worst nor better than any other haters. No life.
Ward-Froch , Ward made more money . But i garantee you that for there next respective fight Froch will make more money! You really feel to argue on nothing like this today , are you ?
Their guarantee purse was the same as every other fighter, more or less. But they were weaseling money out of German/Danish TV, some of Kesslers fights were on PPV in denmark if Im not mistaken. He was reported making upwards of 20 million DKR for one of his recent fights, which equates to $3m. That is ofcourse, counting all the PPV revenue and other TV networks money. (Although thats only a rumour) He's obviously making the most money out of all SMWs though, but with that said, he's on his last leg.
The only thing I said was Ward had a bigger purse than Froch in the Final, to which you ultimately agreed, no? Do I need to repeat myself? Young, slick, talented and the unified WBC,WBA, Ring Mag and S6 trophy champion. He's got some future ahead of him with HBO and SHO battling for him.
Good shout with AA i forgot him! Ward will never draw a lot! Boxing is dying in the states and Ward doesn't have the more pleasing style for nonboxing fans and only hard-core fans will pay to see him and appreciate his boxing!
You may have right with this because I think the s6 tourney was created by SHO to create a new boxing star at an unexciting divison as smw is . Floyd jr won't last forever , so they need "fresh blood" into american boxing scene !
Is that why boxing consistently makes PPV numbers of over 1 million, twice or more every year, with the biggest money being handed out to the fighters who are fighting in the US? If boxing was dying in the states, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather wouldn't make $20m per fight.
S6 was the single most evolutionary move by Showtime. They also put on the bantamweight tournament whilst the SMW tournament was ongoing. For sure it was created to make a star. I hope Ward stays with Showtime and stays devoted to the people who gave him a chance to prove his skills. HBO has more money options, however.. but I hope Showtime gets to have Andre Ward. They deserve it.
