Froch - Ward , Ward 900k, Froch 600k + UK TV. Most money were paid by Showtime, they probable gave Ward more because they were the US TV; i think is reasonable to assume for a Bute-Froch match in Canada, Hearn would get the UK TV. Keep in mind: 1. Froch has no belt 2. Froch would get half of peanut if it goes to pursebid 3. Showtimes money are out of the question. This content is protected From 1,2,3,4 results Froch got a good offer.
people believe it to be true that bute is a stay at home fighter by nature and not because they where building up ibox, whitch made sence as to get the company rolling, what they where not expecting is bute calling their bluff...hence why no counter offers are being made...not even ludacriss ones...go figure.
The 1M offer was gross meaning that Froch had to answer his promotor, manager, trainer etc. from that amount. Ie. all team Froch was to receive was 1M. Team Bute got the rest. That's a ridiculous offer and a bad starting point for negotiations if it was a starting point in the first place. Considering talks have been ongoing for 3 months I'd say they are a long way away from making a deal.
Still not ridiculous considering "all of Team Froch" received 600K for the high profile, Showtime financed Super Six finals. :good "The rest" was for Interbox to secure the venue, pay everyone on their team, and finally pay Bute. :roll: Bad starting point? GTFOH. :rofl
Froch has received less money for the super 6 final. how can it be a ridiculous offer? You haven't answered to my points in my previous posts. you can think an offer is ridiculous but we live in a real world. A promoter has to earn money to give some to the fighters. 1M$ without a big TV channel is a very big offer.
And who said that 'Team Froch' received 600K? Was that before or after promotors and mangers cut? Besides, as mentioned above, the gate was terrible.
With the UK TV money they went home with well over 600k, so that figure is just what Showtime paid up. Neither Showtime or HBO want Bute-Froch.
It's a ridiculous offer because the split is waaayy of 50/50 which IMO Froch is entitled to. You may think Froch is entitled to considerably less, and that would be fine. I'd just disagree and that'll be that.
