how come Hayemaker got of the ground quicker than punch promotions?

Their first show was entertaining IMO.

 

He got $58m for the Mayweather fight. It was Floyd who got circa $25-30m

Not bad for 12 rounds of sparring, I think you would agree

 

I find that hard to believe Beeston - though I am not calling you a liar.

I just dont think any boxer in history has been paid that for one single fight.

The highest payday I know of Oscar having was the $35 million he got for getting heavily winded in 9 rounds by Bernard Hopkins.

When he was just 23 years old heas was getting paid $12 million for slashing up Julio Cesar Chavez inside 4 rounds.

Then after the fight he went to the cinema to see "The Rock"

Oscar apparantly still carries around with him his goverment benefit food stamp in his wallet to remind him of his days of growing up when he was poor :yep

Sorry, $52m

 

One thing that does occur to me is - should Haye not be focussing on his boxing rather than promoting?

 

wow - I didnt know anyone had been paid that much :yikes

thats a **** load of money - for what you say was a public sparring session

Floyd for all his abusive talk and threats to Oscar fought like a ***** that night

He only came to life in the last 10 seconds of the fight and Oscar matched him punch for punch

 

Of course.

His new found money - he was paid up to a £1 million by Warren has given him big ideas.

He said even in Boxing Monthly he had to take time out for a while cos he didnt have time to train because he was setting up this new promotional company.

Let Haye get on with it.

If he takes his eye of fighting - then he is making a bad mistake.

Surely it would make more sense to put all your focus and efforts into your boxing career - make as much money as you can - then retire.

Then you could put all your energies into a new business as a EX fighter.

De La Hoya does both - but his performnces in the ring have faded badly - he struggled with that little guy Stevie Forbes - if Forbes had any power he would have stopped Oscar.

Haye is trying to do it all - but his performances in the ring will suffer

 

Does anyone know if the fight will be getting shown in the states and if so what channel?I know his last fight was screened by showtime although i think that had more to do with warren than haye.

 

I know Compubox can not really be trusted, but if I recall correctly Floyd outlanded DLH in that fight, and his percentages were ridiculous.

Also of note on a Compubox analysis of him was his landed for % less landed against % - basically it said that Floyd had a score of 36. Compared to the likes of Whitaker, at 16% - hard to believe. I will try and track the source down and post it.

 

As said before Hattons 'company' just seems to be set up to take the promotional cut from Hatton fights while Hayes (well Booths really) are actually trying to promote cards/ fighters.

I'd also guess Haye got a head start by piggybacking Hayemakers smallhall TV deal on his own personal, bigger deal with Setanta.

 

I think you are correct.

Haye did a fairly long term deal himself with Setanta - and probably used the guaranteed £££ to have a bash at promoting his own shows. With most of the heavyweight action taking place in Europe, Haye can entice them to the o2 rather than going to Germany.

Hatton tends to sell each fight on an individual basis, and therefore has less guaranteed money - plus the fact that he tends to fight in the US these days, and signed a deal with GBP. The GBP deal will probably make him a shitload more than promoting I would think.

 

I think everyone is overlooking the facts and rules.

You need to put on 2 small hall shows, before a stadium fight can be organised.

Now, unless Haye has done that (and i never heard about it) then it wasn't actually 'Hayemaker' promoting it, but another with a license.

Hatton has put on a small-hall show last month in Brum and has another planned soon apparrently.

In other words, they truly are promoting their own shows.

 

Hopefully Matthew Hatton will be on that card, rather than clogging an undercard slot in November which could be given to a promising British prospect.
