That's a difficult one I would imagine it would have been a split of profits after costs , then he would have all the money for merchandise signings etc , a lot of people say he is broke but I don't believe that he is I just think he loves fighting
So was this fight a work just for entertainment purposes or was it an actual contest? Flying in a completely shot legend and letting it go the distance then making it a draw so everyone saves face seems super phony. My mayor actually did something really similar with Holyfield a few years ago for charity.
