Hopkins running from Calzaghe again

[Unseen]

When you talk about money you add on the PPV sales, this is how boxing works.

Fighters get some money PLUS PPV SALES, now.

If your thinking that i am suggesting Bernard Hopkins only gets PPV money and nothing else, then you are in need of serious help.

The same way if you are implying the only way a fight makes money is through PPV alone, then you would also need serious help.

Now, heres an example. Floyd Mayweather made 8 million dollars for baldomir before the PPV money.

The casino's spend MILLIONS on a fight to have it staged there as they make the money back through the masses of people, who book expenisive hotels and spend thousands over the weekend

The seats at some of the big fights are worth THOUSANDS not £120.

And to add to that, 200,000 is average numbers for a big name,

Now you take the 200,000 PPV sales and add them on the rest of the money the fighters/fight makes, and thats why is the USA the place to fight.

Now, are you still saying Setanta sports and BBC can match that?

To finish off, even the IDIOT STEVE BUNTZ said in an interview with the man himself Joe calzaghe NEXT TO HIM, the Hopkins fights would make loads more money for calzaghe IN AMERICA than ever before.

He said two things.

PPV money would go through the roof, and possible casino money.

Thank you.

yes and your initial post stated that 50k seats was elss than 200k ppv. do you agree you are wrong?

Hopkins deserves the bigger cut. 60/40 is fair considering its bernard hopkins. A hopkins fight is only gonna make calzaghe's name huge win or lose.Love him or hate him its B-hop were talking about here.Hell if calzaghe wanted him that bad he would be all over it. Hell 70/30 is okay to.

It all depends on your numbers first you said the bare bones for a calzaghe ticket was £120, then you admitted you saw tickets for around £60, to be honest i think i saw people who claimed they were going for about £50 but whatever.

Going on your premise it can go both ways: you had to make the average in your estimate £120 because you knew otherwise you numbers wouldnt add add up.

here an example, if we call the average £100 a ticket. which is

50,000 x 100= 5 million pounds

Then do 200,000 by the 54.99 price for a top ppv in america (lets call it $55)


200,000 x 55 = 11 Million Dollars, which is around £5.5 million pounds.


Thats the premise i was working on.

Now that makes the PPV sales more valuble but in the end i wouldn't be suprised if the gate money just beat the PPV numbers in this case, However as i said in the 1st post, 200,00 pay per view sales are average at best, mayweather did 400,000 with Judah and that wasnt a big deal, compare that money to your 50,000 gate sales, lol.

Now with that in mind.

Are you sure gate money= more than PPV money which is what i believe you said earlier?

Why is it relevant? What's the problem with PPV broadcast from Wales? No difference.
