FLOYD MAYWEATHER and Conor McGregor's titanic boxing fight could be getting even bigger. That's because none other than undefeated heavyweight Anthony Joshua wants to be involved. The reigning IBF, WBA and IBO champion was with the former pound-for-pound King at a meet-and-greet event with fans. Click Here To Read More]
They aren't making 30 mil each. It's only on PPV in the UK and at £20. Half of that goes to the providers.
They made £28 mil from PPV the last fight, halve that and they got £14 mil, then Hearn/expenses etc needs to come out of that. Are they going to make 46 mil from the gate and foreign TV? :lol1:
Both fighters made £15mil ($20mil) for the first fight. The rematch has will make more money, that's just logical progression.
What I'm saying is, the rematch will make more than the first fight so why would they put it on a undercard? AJ and Vlad wouldn't even make the £15mil they made on the first fight if they put the rematch on the undercard of May/McGregor so why would they do that?
How is he going to make 30 mil? The fight won't do any better than the first. If Wlad doesn't take the rematch i'm sure Joshua would jump at the chance to be on the Mayweather-McGregor card. It builds his profile.
Every big rematch always does better than the first one.. And AJ vs Vlad was one of the best heavyweights fights in a long time, the rematch will naturally be much bigger coming of the way the fist fight was.
Froch v Groves 1 has 16k fans and both fighters got between 1 and 3 million.
Froch v Groves 2 had 80k fans and both fighters for around 10 million each.
AJ vs Vlad both fighters got 20million each.
I expect them to make at least 30mill each in the rematch.. That's the minimum. But if the rematch doesn't happen he can take a paycut and fight someone like Ortiz or Pulev on Mayweather undercard.
Both guys had instant chemistry!
Joshua on a Floyd undercard would be great in the long run for !
Obviously he was joking because I doubt Floyd would want to cut his share with AJ, that fight with McGregor would have to do 300 million or more and get to 6 million PPV buys to happily compensate all parties involved!
UFC, McGregor, Sponsors, Mayweather, Showtime Sports, Tank Davis, Badou Jack....then you got AJ and Hearn..
That card does 6.1 million PPV buys and does very well in the UK PPV buys of course!
I also wonder if Floyd is trying to make a sly run at snatching AJ!?
Shut up silly man ffs.....floyd has zero chance of getting anywhere near joshuas pen
It was a joke.
Joshua just made about 15 million from the Klitschko fight and is one of the biggest names in Boxing now.
He will not be fighting on anyone's undercard.
This right here ....joshua will not put his name to a joke of a fight where a boxer is facing off with a non boxer and in the process break one of boxings longest reigning records. Joshua was just playing
Joshua is already more popular worldwide than Floyd, and more respected by the fans. HWs automatically are dominant
Joshua? Worldwide?? More respected??? Off 1 fight????:no: Let's see who they remember in the next ten yrs.

Definitely not a joke! CANELO got his name exposer on FLOYD undercards! Smarten up!
Canelo was a nobody back then.. AJ's rematch with Vlad is expected to net him 30million plus. There is no way Maywether can pay AJ 30 mill.. thats more than McGregor is probably going to make and he’s on the main event
no matter who is on the undercard it wont increase the exposure or add anymore buys.. kinda like donaire being on a pac undercard. He doesnt add much value
Definitely not a joke! CANELO got his name exposer on FLOYD undercards! Smarten up!

Maybe so but Floyd would make more money down the road without him on the card cuz he trying to put Tank & Jack on the card to give them exposer.
Yeah as fans I'm sure people would love this buy it doesn't seem to make business sense. Didn't Joshua make 12 million for his last fight? I doubt he'll get that kind of money on the undercard. Plus as you say Mayweather has his own fighters that he'd like to get exposure
It was a joke. This would never happen. AJ himself would demand a 7 figures payday
Definitely not a joke! CANELO got his name exposer on FLOYD undercards! Smarten up!
If Joshua is willing to accept a lower purse than usual it might be possible.
And it would be worth it for him because of the exposure he would get to all the US fans watching.
Or he could just say the U.K. PPV money would go to him. Or a large portion of it.
Would probably make a good impact on the US market too. A couple of hundred PPVs maybe.
Not bad for all parties - but obviously will never happen.
