Hooker got 1.2 million since he is entitled to 75 percent of purse bid. Saucedo is getting 400k dollars. What is the advantage to a promoter to win the purse bid besides location? I have always wondered about that.
All the advertisements that surround the venue the concessions and gate money, plus the merch before, during and after the bout. TV commercial money goes between the promoter and the channel. Its multi millions involved in even the smallest bouts.
Hearn makes fighters money, i believe he is good for fighters who are not super stars. Roman, Hooker, Vargas are going to stay busy and make money with Hearn. Haymon pays his star fighters great but they only fight 1 time a year.
Sweet, Eddie Hearns seams to really have a very large stable now... Ps, I went on Marice Hooker's IG just now he just posted up a pic of Eddie at the fight.
