Ricky Hatton - Boxing's Biggest Money Maker

Thanks for that.Does that mean that after HBO have taken their 10%,the other 90% goes to the fighters?I just heard recently that Hatton took all the PPV money from the UK in his fight with Mayweather.Thats 1.2 million buys at £15 each minus HBOs 10%..is this correct.If so thats crazy!

 

Been a couple days since I read it. But Arum says he gets about $4mill from just 200K buys after expenses. Now what happens to that money depends on who promotes it, how it is promised, etc.... But, not HBO involved in this one. HBO would keep more because they put up money and do promotions, foot the broadcast cost, etc... Still, big buck in the end though.
