WBSS Issues

that is the issue they have to pay big purses to get the top dogs to enter and take the risk but that should be within reason. paying Cox that kind of money is insane if true.

 

I feel like this was inevitable. The second season wasn’t half as appealing as the first.

 

Enter Mick Hennessey with his world famous YouTube ppvs. Get ksi on the undercards it'll all be okay. I'd hate to see it happen but got to get some money from somewhere

 

Let's do a youtuber world boxing super series.

 

It was horribly managed from the start.

 

Fantastic idea. Ruined by not teaming up with big promoters. Let the likes of Matchroom/Queensbury manage the undercards and use their tv slots on Sky/BT etc.

 

The rumoured purses were ridiculous anyway. It could have been less and still attractive to most fighters.

They had a Liverpool show a week before or after a Hearn show in same arena. Benefited nobody.

Then these ITV pay per view channels showing it but it was actually free to air, lack of promotion by ITV.

 

I don’t believe this is true.

 

Apparently it was $50 million between two tournaments weren’t it?

So 25 per tournament.

8 mil winner
4 mil runner up.

2.25mil semi final winners
1.25mil semi final losers

500k quarter final winners
250k quarter final losers.

Something along those lines I’d imagine if the speculated figures were true. Maybe a bit more for the quarter finalists and less in the semis.

 

If cancelled this would be a shame, maybe these Russian oligarchs can help?
After all they pushed hard for CW final to be in Moscow.

 

The second round the fighters got paid a lot less

 

Sounds more likely. I can’t see Callum Smith earning that money again and even on PPV vs Bellew, Uysk wouldn’t have got near that.

 

So Smith got £8 million for 2 very late replacements and a shopworn Groves. Crazy.
