    Mandalay bay officials were literally on the strip giving away tickets for his fight with Maidana

    Khan is not a PPV draw at all. isn't he in some kind of war with SKY right now or is it BoxNation?

    His fights haven't done much at all. And he made like a mill for Peterson right? Not reallllly a cash cow.

    Froch would of netted a nice sum from the gate , and the new Sky TV deal MR Promotions has with them , probably a career high payday i would of imagined

    Khan and GB had issues with Sky TV during and after the McCloskey fight , they have since made up there differences and Khan will fight on Sky in the future

    The Klits are not cash cows. They pay **** money to opponents and generate **** all themselves. HW champs are supposed to generate huge money, but there are probably 10+ guys in the lower divisions who make considerably more than them. Floyd and Manny make at least 10 times what the Klits make. They're a joke financially.

    David G. Haye is clearly the CASH COW of the HW division. The two biggest fights in many years have been Haye-Wlad and Haye-Chisora. The current HW G Champion can't help but make millions of £££'s, even coming off a loss.

    lol, nice troll, the Klits routinely pocket $10M-15M a fight, regardless of who they fight. There are only two guys that make more than that on a consistent basis.

    For a guy like Kevin Johnson to be guaranteed 250k, says a lot about them being cash cows. . Eddie Chambers was guaranteed like 500k. . These are guys who make 30k a fight. I bet Chambers is only getting like 75k for Adamek.


    Haye is making 3.5 for Chisora fight. . NOT cash-cow purse. . . Wladimir will make twice that figting Tony the Tiger. . again. .

    Lol I meant the way he fights. . . He's such a brilliant boxer, he's like a composer in the ring the way his transitions his punches, and lets the hands go with perfect rhythm, and timing.

    Beethoven could use film of Marquez's combination punches to compose his next piece.

    Up and until now including the Peterson fight Khan was $3m+ per fight, not sure how much Garcia fight will do.

    I think the list is pretty accurate.

    he'd be a fool to not take a tuneup in montreal before fighting froch again. someone who could have been a huge cash cow is kelly pavlik before throwing it all away with his demons. i was at his last fight on espn in vegas at the hard rock hotel casino and it wasn't even sold out. a shame what could of been of him not in terms of ring ability but how well he could have caught the imagination of the american public.

    :good

    Khan will still be good for his 3 million dollar paydays - about 1.2-1.5 guaranteed HBO/USA money, and the other half coming from UK revenue he generates.

    I think my list is pretty spot on, except I would probably put Haye in there somewhere. . .

    Yes, and no about the tuneup. . . I've never believed in "tune ups" that much. . Unless you've had a long time off or something. . . I don't tihnk he should rematch Froch next, but a fight with Pavlik, or another top guy would be good. A tuneup will just delay the inevitable in determining whether or not he's world class.


    ANd yeah, Pavlik could hvae been doing massive PPV numbers. . . If he didn't try to chase Hopkins up to 170. . . I think taht fight did like 300k buys, which is far from impressive, but for his first PPV fight, adn only being on HBO like two-three times before, I thought it was pretty good.

    pavlik was a promoter's dream. a humble, soft spoken white kid with ko power from a blue collar city that had a pretty rich tradition in boxing. fighting at a pretty well known weight division. so many people in america could of relate to this kid. pavlik was almost at the point where even casual boxing fans would tune in to see him fight. i knew quite a few casual boxing fans that tuned into his fights but weren't exactly huge fans of the sport.
