I hope both Andre Ward and Chad Dawson get a career high payday. This is a match I am really looking forward to. I know when Dawson fought Hopkins the first time he got 800k. The winner of this fight could make huge money in the future, possibly fighting Chavez jr. when he moves up.
Don't know about that, if Chavez gets starched by Sergio, less money in that and Dawson has beats the 2nd best in the LHW division- Hopkins, likewise Ward at SMW- Froch. And both have been pretty comfortable. Now their running out of opponents.
all they can do is clear house at thier division making 2-500k per fight untill a super fight comes along.
Considering all the support American fighters from American fans they should confidently expect to bring in at least $5000 each
American fans really do suck. Some of the best fighters in the world can't even sell out small arenas in their hometowns.
They do, it's only worth fighting in the US if you are a PPV attraction, if I was a fighter like Ward, who's style isn't the most entertaining to the masses I would base my career in Germany or the UK as it is easier to gain a following, then even when he goes to the US for big fights he would be well supported.
HBO is televising,not Showtime.HBO regularly over pays for their programming boxing events,so I would think each gets in the 1 million apiece bracket.Ward better deliver and not go with his clutch and grab routine.
