They will break even from the Floyd deal if not make a small profit.
Since Floyd made the move to showtime their stable of fighters has grown, if this turns into a highly profitable future remains to be seen. They surely won't be generating any money from Floyd's TMT fighters as they are all garbage.
Ward is the man at 168 but he needs to step back in that ring and defend his crown.
I would have no problem with Froch being no.1 should he win on Saturday. Should Groves win I would have no problem with Ward v Groves being made.
If you define more tragedies in the sport as entertainment then there is something wrong with you.
Should we take off the safety equipment from F1 cars so they go faster?
Struggle seems to suggest Trout is a garbage fighter (which he is not). Styles make fights and that style will always give a fighter like Canelo trouble.
$100 million net revenue for Mayweather is an accurate projection based on past figures of revenue against promotional costs.
Would it just be $40 million for Pacquiao? If he just sat on his ass with no business acumen then it would. But being involved in the biggest fight in boxing history he could make a ton of money from endorsements, advertisements and selling his own MP branded clothing/items.
Remember the deal was $40 million net revenue to Pacquiao, no one else. With Top Rank over him there's no way he will ever say that much on a single pay day.
Both fighters would make an absolute killing on this fight, if Manny leaves Arum this fight happens.
No it's not because carl has just given a shot to the best young fighter in Britain, not once but twice. Calzaghe didn't do that.
Froch has nothing to prove by doing it again.
Enough said.
Why should there be any love lost? This is the fight game. Froch has given him respect, said he is young and can bounce back but also said he is not sure if he actually will (fair statement).
They both did their fair share of trash talking and there is general dislike. Good honest interview - now time to move on.
In reality Manny should have never renewed with TR. He should have gone solo and have any fight he wanted at his fingertips, plus more money in that pocket!
Calzaghe had opportunities to fight Carl and decided not to.
What would we say if Carl refused to fight Groves and instead went overseas and fought an over the hill fighter?
Your post is triangle theory. There is nothing in it that explains how floyd's style matches up with Khan's.
I'm afraid you are dumb piece of sh1t.

Ok so he just beat a gatekeeper at welterweight.
Why isn't he looking to establish himself with a solid 147 fighter first and aim for Floyd in May? This guy needs to focus on his career and let his boxing do the talking. The rest will come.
If mayweather Trash talks, He can sell the fight. I would love for this to happen.
This is it, he doesn't promote his fights any more. All he does is throw cash around on all access and repeat the same lines 'this is a fighter I cannot overlook' 'he is here for a reason and I will have to bring my A game'
So basically no PPV money on a fight that would do around (what I would estimate) 3 million buys? I know I sound a bit biased here, but that doesn't make sense
As a fighter, having $40 million dollars with no costs or no promoters taking a bite is a very, very lucrative offer.
Floyd would still have to pay his costs, promotional, venue, security and so on.
And then Khan looked like the beaten man after the fight, there is an old saying in boxing, "which fighter would you rather be right now?". Maidana looked like he just got done with a alight gym session, Amir looked like he had been in a war.
It was similar in the last fight, Chino looked fresh at the end, Floyd was a bloody mess.
A bloody mess? Lets not get carried away here...
