    ok, i'll try another one:
    Keep in mind there was about 5K in the crowd and not all had paid their tickets. That means Showtime paid entirely for the event, including organizing and undercard, let's say 3-4 mil $ -> that's some expense to create a champion. And both man's purses were surely gross, otherwise it would've meant Showtime had give 3 mil $ only for the purses of the main event.
    I totally agree Froch should get at least 2 mil $ (gross) because he's risking a KO loss; the same i understood Kessler should've got at least 6-7 mil $ if he fought Bute for taking the same risk. Both Kessler and Froch have a reputation and Interbox and Bute must pay if they want those scalps.
    If Kessler and Froch would have considered Bute an easy fight be sure it would've happened; like Kessler accepted to fight Ward in USA or like Taylor taking the Froch fight.

    You're bullshitting or you know nothing about finance. You're talking like if you knew what was the split. You don't. That's the bullshitting part. You think that fighters can have huge purses without a major network, that's the you-know-nothing-about-finance part.

    It is impossible for Bute to have more than Froch with those numbers. Read my previous post until you understand it. Interbox would have to take it from their pockets and guess what, they are business men, not charity club members.

    ma-ta mi-a spus mie personal ca a primit 1 dolar de la "Team Froch" ca sa ii consoleze dupa pierderea suferita de Froch . Te las pe tine sa ghicesti cum i-a "consolat" ma-ta pe "Team Froch" . :hey:hey:hi:

    Absolutely !!

    Don't loose your time with that guy anyway.

    He did the same thing with the Kessler case


    When you will say that there is no counter offer ....he will respond that nobody knows that there is no counter offer.

    No argument possible with Denmark

    I really have feeling that a Bute-Froch fight in Montreal would have a bigger revenue than $3m. Which means Froch will be left with approximately 33% or less of the whole cake.

    And even with a decent payday, these things aren't inviting when he wants to have a homecoming.

    Without Showtime money?!? How did you come up with that considering Bute's gross purse against Magee was hovering around 1M with Showtime money?

    My bad for not mentioning getting a network behind them.

    I don't think a fight between Froch-Bute is viable without a major US network behind it. :good

    It would do 3M+ in Canada alone. 2M from the gate and I believe laffie once said they'd do about1½M from PPV for a Kessler fight.

    That leaves SKY, overseas rights, some yank network and sitefee.

    All the Butestans just say I'm tripping but all fail to counter this simple math.
