Purses: Golovkin $15 million, Derevyanchenko $5.2 million.

Well its a lot worse than that. Its a private company, its not publicly traded. Sure there could be a "book value" of shares but since it is not bought and sold on a daily basis, there is no real established worth of what anyone would really buy it for. GGG could try to sell his stake tomorrow and guarantee he aint getting no where near 7.5 million for it and he would have to find someone who is willing to buy it. It seems like DAZN is handing out shares in the company in place of cash because they are running out of cash. ... sure... getting a $7.5 million equity share in an Ukrainian owned private company is like utter shit... :)

Purses for Saturday night's vacant middleweight title fight at New York's Madison Square Garden: Gennadiy Golovkin $15 million ($7.5M in cash, $7.5M in DAZN parent company equity), Sergiy Derevyanchenko $4 million but he is guaranteed $5.2 million. https://t.co/IH8gh8NCS8— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) October 4, 2019 :) .......................... People don't know shit about doing business with Ukrainians!!! ... I'll wait to see Canelo's purse and how many millions in "equity" he will get...

If they’re paying in equity that’s very worrying. What happens if the stock falls and people attempt to cash in? Fighters aren’t exactly long term employees, so are they willing to invest in the DAZN project long term? I doubt it... Well its a lot worse than that. Its a private company, its not publicly traded.

Good on both these guys making bank. DAZN had to over price to get into the market. GGG and Canelo both took advantage of this and now are reaping the rewards of signing when they did. Brilliant business decisions by both fighters. DAZN will never again inflate fighters purses to the extreme of Canelo and the G.

Nice purses. GGG is a big star obviously, no matter what haters say. Nice payday's for both guys!

I have no problem with the purses. If someone is willing to pay you that much you take it.

Excellent money. Props to both guys for cashing out on DAZN’s stupidity

I don't see how these boxers command such big paydays. There's only a couple of boxers that command big cash and sell. But even Canelo does not generate the kind of cash that dazn is paying him. Even Deontay wilder and other PBC boxers get paid huge sums of money and generate very little in return. These promoters have all got to be cash flow negative big time. It just does not make any sense. - -Deyonce made a record $4mil his last fight, peanuts to what AJ been raking in. Al near bellyup a few years back got a shady infusion to keep him floating.

This finally makes a bit of sense. The cash value of the GGG is at most 50 million with the rest We Work stock.

Golovkin killed HBO , now he's trying to kill DAZN. How in the world does a guy like Dereyevchencko get $5 million when he's never even won a world title , but Orlando Salido won 3 belt's in 2 weight classes & several fight of the year awards with a better resume then Golovkin & Dereyevchencko combined and him getting $1 million was considered "ridiculous" & "pricing himself out" , a tactic used by Bob Arum & Lomachencko to duck him. The only explanation is these are the racist politics in boxing used against Mexican Fighter's. Burn in hell S.O.B's! Luis Ortiz has never won a world title either, and he's getting $7 million. I guess they are biased for Hispanics.....

Almost $20 mil for GGG v Derevychenko? Wow!!! It’s crazy how overpaid fighters are nowadays but more to them i guess. As big as Delahoya was, he made like 10 million dollars for a superfight with Vargas and that was considered as a huge purse.

Im all for top fighters making all they can, and SD is a top 5ish middle. That being said im REALLY surprised he is making 5.2 mil for this fight. I also REALLY hate getting into the different platforms and who is best or who is not, but this does look like they wayyy overpaid SD. They could make 2 "fight of the year" type fights with just the 5.2 mil he is getting in the smaller and lesser paid divisions.

The only explanation is these are the racist politics in boxing used against Mexican Fighter's. Burn in hell S.O.B's! Why would he want to kill DAZN when he is investing his money into them. The reason theses guys including Canelo are getting these huge paydays is because DAZN was on a crazy spending spree. If they were around when he was fighting he would have made out OK.

There is a thing called popularity, like it or not, that is what drives people's money into these fights.

Football players and basketball players are over paid why not let boxers earn the money No they aren’t lol. They get paid a certain percentage of the nba revenue. Golovkin isn’t bringing in 20 million

———-:wank:

They only release as much as they want to on these deals, so its hard to know everything. But this is the first I read that they were paying fighters in DAZN equity, that does not look good at all. It had to have been in the contract they signed that they could do that. If they’re paying in equity that’s very worrying. What happens if the stock falls and people attempt to cash in?

Can you link the actual tweet or was that was just a random link?

People tend to forget how much value there is in fight footage libraries. Arum still makes a mint off Ali fights. I went to their offices once to pick up tapes for HBO in the late 90s when I was a courier, them people have/had a massive video operation at the time. Dazn doesn’t have those fights yet but they will in time.
