Calzaghe comeback being offered to tv networks

500k per defence? really? I am doing pure guesswork here but i am right in thinking his biggest purse was Jones as he promoted himself and i rememebr 2-3 million? mentioned i would be intrested to know how much of a cut Warren takes of a purse and what does he take the cut as? Promoter fee manager fee?

 

He'll have less than 50% of what he had prior to his divorce. Even the big fights after that like Hopkins and Jones, he wont have made as much as you might first think. He'll have to pay for training expenses and then a lot of tax on his purses. He wont be poor by any stretch of the imgination but he wont have tens of millions either.

 

Remember he needs to cover expenses for every fight - trainer, sparring partners, manager, promoter - plus pay tax on all his earnings.

 

I've heard his first opponent will be Daniella Westbrook.
Winner-takes-all, kilos of charlie.

 

Still owed two million by Warren's bankrupted company from the Hopkins fight.

 

sure wait for froch to be tied up elsewere then return ...............................i kid i hoe he comes back and is ready to fight but reid is pointless if its a 1 fight comeback but if its a rust shaker then maybe ill be ok with it

 

As the "company" is now bankrupt then I don't suppose it owes Calzaghe a penny

 

I remember from somewhere that it was in the region of 700k for the WBO defence in Germany against Veit, that's why they took the fight. With tax, training, travel fees etc bringing that down. You may make £15m in purses, what you actually get is a lot lot less.

 

Plus those fights were flops on PPV so he wouldnt of earned much in PPV revenue.

 

Robin Reid?? bull****...

 

Having seen the state of Hopkins in his last two fights, I should think it looks tempting.

The way Hopkins behaved in the Jones fight was an embarrassment to boxing, the old mans stamina now seems beyond suspect.

 

Were they really flops?

 

Maybe he realises that his record aint all that special, I am all in favour of the strictly star coming back

 

Thats cause you want to see him burst up aint it:hey:good
