    You have no evidence of the so called lowballing. Get the **** over it, it seriously is getting old.

    750K + Showtime fee + Danish PPV revenues could amount to anything. 1, 2, 3M.

    It's all speculation and you know it. It's also like you believe Arum is Jesus Christ spreading the truth around the world.

    No source. No evidence.

    "Try again" - :rofl

    I think Sauerland would have accepted a 3½M offer TBH. Lowballing or not. I believe Sauerland said the offer wasn't even remotely close to that amount (I cannot remember where so don't ask for a source).

    ...yet you troll Bute threads saying Interbox would lowball fighter X "because Kessler was lowballed"? Making it "a trend"?! :huh

    In hindsight, seeing how Froch made 600K fighting Ward, would you say the 400K offer to Sartison who couldn't unify a BS WBA title, and 1.35M offer to rehab Pavlik, were 'lowballs'?

    It must be true then. LMAO. Someone told me that Kessler was getting 15M from an american model agency. I've seen no denials so it must be true as well.

    Again, I'm not debating that this amount was real (in guaranty money that is). I'm just stating that since you think that 3.5M is low balling, your opinion of this subject is flawed when you can see all the money that the S6 and the various fight in the SMW and in boxing in general are.

    Of course some fighters can bring a **** load of money (Pac, May) and Calzaghe seemed one who could. But this is not the usual money, it's just the exceptions.

    Interbox exist as a company to make money so:
    1- they need there cut
    2- Bute's purse.
    3- the opponent's purse
    4- all the expense to the training
    5- all the expense of the coaches
    6- the renting of the venue
    7- the promotion of the fight
    8- the purse of the undercard
    9- the IBF fee
    10- the taxes
    11- in Québec in big event, the promoter needs to pay an amount for the security (local police) in case of problems.

    I might forgot something.
    So magical numbers like 5M to each fighter is very fun, but where does it come from and you need to take in account all these other expenses.

    he is paying Stieglitz that money cause he know Kessler will take that belt and milk back the money.Why would anyone pay 3 mil to Bute when there's no guarantee he won't beat your ass? see Wards dilemma now?

    When 3 people say the same thing there's a trend.


    Did Froch only make 600K? I'm not questioning your info, but do you have a source? I'm surprised that they didn't get more. Kessler got 2½M guaranteed per s6 fight.

    Who are those 3, just out of curiosity? Kessler who didn't counteroffer? Johnson who took a nice payday in the end? Pavlik who thought getting out of rehab for a 1.35M contract wasn't a good deal?!

    Source is King87 on ESB, who probably heard that on Sky which I don't have here. :huh

    Post #12. 600K + Sky money, whatever that was. Say in the 750K ballpark. :lol: :lol:
