I meant "Great White Hope" as in an All American United States born White Skinned fighter ready to conquer the entire sport of Boxing. Not white Europeans or Eastern European fighters.
I never understood why people care about how much others make.
But back to the question, i'd say most of the boxing cards with established fighters operate at a loss, or barely breaking even when they pay all the fighters and overheads but the really big cards profit enough that it pays for the cards that lose money. But those cards that lose money are often there to promote fighters for the big money fights in future, it's all part of the net profit at the end, not just individual cards. Like in all business, you have to speculate to accumulate.
I'd be surprised if Canelo v Kirkland for instance was that profitable, but it doesn't matter because Canelo v Cotto pays for everything else.
Its retarted to say Canelo vs Kirkland might had not been profitable. 31,000 + in attendance 2.3 million watching at home the most watched HBO card in 9 years. Come one, now PBC cards like Broner vs Porter Garcia vs Guerrero now those are lost profits. The gates are barely half a million lmao and the attendance to are horrible look at the Porter Broner fight, MGG holds 16K+ and only 7K were present.
I think is because MMA has taken alot of steam from Boxing i mean people want to pay to see a good fight, not always regret payin to see some boring **** *cough *cough "Mayweather"
Juan Manuel Marquez ring entrance in the 4th fight vs Pacquiao! He came in walking with Mexicos most famouse song "Palabra de Rey" by Vicenete Fernandez. It was a pro Marquez crowd, every word to that song was heard throughout the MgM because all the Marquez were singing it loudly.
This was a close, dirty, and gritty fight. The worst part to me was the fact that Chaves was trying to act innocent as if he did nothing wrong. As if the he didn't hold, didn't eye gauge, didn't use his head. Give me a break. There was points were Chaves would push his head into Rios for 5 seconds and then look at the ref as if Rios was doing something wrong. Then Chaves has the balls to claim he was giving a lesson.
I think Nevada needed to put a ref that can actually speak spanish i mean half the stuff the ref would tell Chavez he couldnt understand cause he doesnt know a word of english!
Exactly how the **** is GGG a superstar!? Exactly were has he fought that there were thousands among thousands of fans at his fights? Imagine him fighting at the real MSG ant the theater but the real MSG imagine how empty it would be!
Sort of reminds me of Broner declaring himself the next ATG in boxing and GBP backing him up to be the next boxing PPV king .. R u ****ing serious his fight at Alamodome barely drew 11,000 fans with the majority of them buying the 14 dollar tickets with them sitting at ringside i mean the venue was open for up to 35,000 come on Boxing can do better than this!
Dana White will be the new "Great White Hope" if he comes to the Boxing world. He would attract the old Tommy Morrison fans and the Conor McGregor fans who taught he had a chance against TBE.
