List of US based fighters that have made $15 million for a fight

this is a tough one for me

on one hand 15 million is a lot of money

but on the other this fight could potentially make a lot of money and that 15 million could turn out to be around 10-20% and ggg really deserves a lot more than that

most of the people arguing that ggg should take 15 million are the same people giving out to him for not apparently giving jacobs 40% when he doesn't deserve it. it now seems jacobs is getting vastly overpaid with 3 million for the fight to even happen, maybe ggg is taken the short end of the stick to make the fight happen?


which leads me to the big point, why does the exciting fighter who is the bigger draw have to take the short end of the stick? ggg is having to do it, kovalev got screwed by ward money wise to make the fight even happen

thats my question,why does the fighter everyone actually wants to come and see have to take the worse deal to make the fight with the fighter with no following

and most people now want to see ggg take what could potentially be a terrible cut against canelo

don't you think these guys deserve to get paid fairly ?

 

but that 15 million could potentially be a 10-20% split , do you not think he deserves more?

i dont understand why the fighter the fans are actually coming to see has to always take the short end of the stick for the fights to happen

this would be like if a prime tyson was being asked to take the smaller purse just to make fights happen when people dont even know who he's opponent is

canelo should offer 35-40% of everything if he is being serious

 

Ray Leonard vs Donny Lalonde 15,000,000. Also, Froch vs Groves 13 mil, Haye vs Klitschko 24 mil. Those two Brits made bank. And Joshua is set to make 20+ million against Klitschko.

If GGG makes 10 mil fighting Jacobs, then 15 mil from Canelo is too low. If GGG can make 10 million dollars fighting Jacobs, then he can make 10 more for Saunders, 10 more for Eubanks Jr, and another 10 against whoever the hell he wants. He's got options and he doesn't need to cowtow to Canelo. If this next pay per view of his comes off well he might be the A side.

 

ggg won't be able to make 10 million fighting jacobs, because jacobs is already getting overpaid 3 million and jacobs is a no body that can't even sell out in he's home town

it takes to fighters to make a ppv sell, unless you are mayweather before pacman

thats why i feel most big ppv fights should be 60-40 splits or close to that,they both need eachother

 

yes but its just unfair,

no days being a great fighter with devastating power and a fan friendly style is a disadvantage in negotiations because the opponent thinks he is going to get beat so bad he will have to retire and in turn wants a truck load of money, one of the reason the sports is suffering

can you imagine sunderland refusing to place chelsea unless they get paid 3 times what they are usually paid because they think they will get slaughtered? it would be complete nonsense

 

Remember when mayweather fought hatton and gave hatton 100% of the UK PPV share and it done more buys than US PPV

 

That reminds me. Lennox Lewis made 15 or over against Holyfield and Tyson. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Holyfield made more than 12 mil for the second Tyson fight and when he fought Lennox Lewis. Holy and Tyson both made around 500 mil before they retired, so Holy had some big purses.

 

Yeah, he made more than Mayweather; something like 25 million.

Anybody know how much David Haye got for beating that bum during "Haye Day"? I heard it was a lot. Plus, let's not forget the Klitschko's have been regularly earning 10 mil+ purses for a while. Then Brook just got like 5 million. Purses just keep getting bigger.

 

lol how much did hatton make?
