Exactly. Anyone who thinks sky are putting the majority of the purse up for a fight in the early hours clearly are crazy. DAZN are fronting this large.
It well documented in various interviews that DAZN are paying up here Fight would never happen otherwise
Lads, yous are awful thicks! Can you not allow anyone but AJ be in the spotlight for five minutes? Eddie himself gave us the 25 million pound figure and Eddie loves to give us the ceiling, obviously. He's projecting more than 500k which will be minumum expectation surely. Fury/Klitschko done over 500k years ago, albeit on our timezone. Naturally he's looking for 700k UK PPV buys + which amounts to 14 million pounds - 18 million dollars. If the pre-sale "record breaking numbers" are anything to go by, the gate must be generating in excess of 10 million dollars, which is a lot less than the record gate for MSG. We're up at about 28 million dollars now. Give everyone their cut, that surely can't dip below 20 million dollars? So how much are DAZN giving AJ to bring him up to 32 million dollars......? Great money but quite a few mill less than 16 million pounds. Relax gentlemen. AJ does the business and he'll get a better deal than Fury. For now though, he ain't there.
Absolutely. Amazing money for all. Merely pointing out Hearn's bitterness towards a Brit getting more money in America than his guy.
Did anyone see when Hearn and Adam Smith were on IFL Hearn was giving out about Lennox Lewis disrespecting him and Adam Smith says "Lennox was one of the best of all time tremendous fighter" and shuts Hearns straight up
This content is protected Just thought I would leave this here for now. Arum saying it’s not $80m gauranteed. Effectively he has to keep winning and be in big fights. Truth of the matter is we don’t know the true value of either deal and the more money in boxing hopefully the more chance of the big fights happening.
remember when Hearn said "Yarde cant be fighting at the Brentwood Centre if he wants to be a star" Well Hearn has Anthony Sims Jnr and Jordan Gill, who both have more pro fights than Yarde, fighting in a wedding show hall in Peterborough
