    " They all challenge me, they all wanna fight me, they are all saying I'm overrated... but when it's about fighting me in my backyard in Montreal and with me getting 70-30 split....they refuse."

    How surprising that they all refuse.....

    Warning! Fabricated quote used to discredit a boxer. Above-quoted hater is guilty of falsification.

    Est. revenue for Bute-Kessler in Montreal:

    Showtime US rights: 2.0M
    Canadian PPV: 1.5M
    Danish PPV: 2.0M
    Gate: 2.0M
    Worldwide TV-rights: 0.5M
    Sitefee: 0.5M

    Est. total revenue: 8.5M

    Kessler share: 2.0M (danish PPV) + 750K = 2.75M = 32%
    Bute share: 8.5M - 2.75M = 5.75M = 68%



    Far cry from 50/50 even if some estimates is off.

    What I wrote has nothing to do with the actual figures but with your colleague hater using quotation marks as if the words actually came out of Bute's mouth.

    Pay attention next time.

    I am sure Joe's remark was satire. I don't know if you are familiar with that concept?

    Yes, Einstein, fyi I figured that out all by myself. Joe and the other damsels in distress should thank you for being their white knight. Too bad though you didn't figure out my reply was satire as well.

    Now if you will excuse me, I have two eggs frying in the pan that will soon look like Dawson's wife boobs if left unattended any longer. Enjoy another full day of hating.

    So, the rest of the card, the location of the Bell Center, the promotion, all that costs nothing? Do you know how costs a semi-final when you're on Showtime? You also forget that the "source" you're referring to also said Kessler would have something from Showtime. 250K? 500? That changes the figures.

    Your numbers are still laughable. You know how Bute makes for a fight at the Bell Center. It's about 1,25 millions$. It could be more this time but I'm not sure at all he would have as much as Kessler.

    I hope you're not an accountant.

    P.S. Bute will never get 1,5 millions from the PPV over here. First, it's twice or 3 times the usual numbers. Second, the broadcaster keep (if I remember correctly) 1/3 of the recipes. Second, his promoter keeps another part.

    1: Yeah I forgot the undisclosed Showtime amount. Probably wont change that much though.

    2: Your numbers are Bute's purse. Not share for his team.

    3: My PPV numbers are from a candian poster.

    4: Stadiums in Germany actually PAYS a sitefee for the right to stage a Klitfight. They likely earn their revenue from sales of food and beverages. I dont know how it is in canada, but I reckon the promotor shouldn't pay at least.

    5: The broadcaster and promotor likely gets a share of PPV receipts yes, but the same goes for Kessler. If I was to calculate NET that would mean an even lesser share for Kessler as most of his earnings comes from PPV.

    Your Canadian source is a fool.Bute does not sell anywhere in Canada except Quebec.In fact the past few fights have been available only in French.Bute is a big fish in a small pond.:patsch
