    So you reckon that's a good thing, something to be proud of?

    Sorta like McDonalds should be proud of cooking a fine product on the basis that they are wealthy?
    Or like Telstra should be commended because of the fine service they provide on the basis they are very wealthy?

    I think we know what most people think of the above examples.

    Being wealthy from fighting mismatched opponents isn't something a great fighter would be proud of.
    A fraud maybe, but not a great champion.

    Do you honestly think he will make 1 million for this fight? It hasn't been advertised yet, fewer and fewer pubs/clubs are showing his fights and he struggled to sell tickets to the geale fight so this one has no chance of drawing a crowd without a lot of free tickets.

    I don't know the ins and outs of money for a promotion but I am sceptical he would recieve that amount for this type of fight.

    I think he can make $1m...here is my rough numbers guess

    To make $1m this is whats needed.....

    15,000 homes PPV @ $50........ = $750,000...less 40% for ME = $450,000
    200 clubs and pubs @ $1,500... = $300,000...less 40% for ME = $180,000
    4,000 paying at the gate @ $90 = $360,000........................= $360,000
    sponsors................................= $300,000........................= $300,000

    Total = $1,350,000

    Take out $150,000 in cost for Venue event

    $1.2m

    $200k to pay staff/manager

    Being the main event and the promoter helps him make the $1m.

    When he fought Geale the PPV homes was close to 50,000 and Danny over 100,000.

    This fight is far from a big fight but I still think it will come close to the above.

    That's what you came up with after running away for most of the morning? :lol:

    So you respect someone who refuses to face real challenges yet you recruit 'industry people' to post on here to talk up this clown. What are you lacking in life mate?

    Why don't you take the time to post in the thread I started for your benefit ash?

    Neither here nor there with your numbers Ash, but it certainly is amazing that so much can be gained from so little.

    I dip my lid to their business success but in a sporting sense it really is just plain sad.

    No wonder the guy never steps up when they can serve up chump after chump and profit so handsomely......just wish he'd stop promising 'World Domination' while he's doing it, that's all.

    Mate I agree....if I had my way choc would be fighting....

    1. Golovkin for the WBA MW World title now Sturm is SC
    2. Manfredo for the 160 IBO title he just won
    3. Geale rematch when Geale grabs his next title
    4. .....or any non title fight with US ranked fighters 10 to 30 at 160


    Only problem is I dont get my way :lol:

    But that's part of the package to keep getting bozo's to pay for the fights - he has to promise world domination :lol:.

    Mundine had 2 careers, the one before Kessler and the one after :deal

    Good to see that even someone of your 'enthusiasm' can see the wood from the trees at times Ash.

    I guess it's just expecting a little too much of a dillusional little Troll located on the other side of the planet to do the same.
