Haha.... not sure what to think here. It was probably a pretty low offer, but Smith is bound to have unrealistic expectations given that he's the self proclaimed 3rd biggest ticket seller in British boxing after Haye and Khan.
"in your back yard" So I'm guessing most of the tickets will be sold because of Smith, not Anderson...
With most promoters losing money on shows due to high purses, surely boxers realise that they are overpaid in many circumstances. You think they would want the shot on Sky and to actually be paid too.
Eddie said a very strange thing in his iFilm Lahndann interview "we made a six figure offer for scott quigg and they turned it down" "the fight has now gone to purse bids, will we win? I dunno" - he didnt sound hopeful so if he can afford to offer a 6-fgure sum, then he almost definitely afford to win the purse bid, unless of course his 6-figure sum was rattled full of clauses and future options
