thx man.........anything about floyds payday though?

Basically Hatton arranged the deal with SKY on a graduated basis. That's why he made so much more than Mayweather did on the fight. Mayweather's HBO cut won't be nearly as big.

No but you have to remember the dollar is low, which is the key to the comparison. HBO did 1.4-5m buys at $55, which means they made between $75m and $80m. Floyd's cut certainly isn't anywehere near half (GBP and HBO have to get rich too). At best he took 20% which would give him $15m or so from the ppv, plus his 11 from the original deal. I'd guess Floyd made about $25m, or only 60-65% of what Hatton made.

The major factor is the currency, as well as the fact that SKY probably underestimated the buy rate. If you know anything about royalty contracts, and I am under such contracts, you know the graduated deals are usually a way to rip you off unless you sell more than expected. I have a book deal that is heavily graduated. sonofisis does not have a book deal and has never read such a contract, so when he reads this he can go **** off.

The fact that the monlogue of the contract is dubious it accumulates to a greater value of restatution for hire. The strategical matter infuses with simultaneous combostion which allows the credentials of the principle salary to increase. Duality emkbarks on gradual organizations that.. English people

But doesnt Floyd get a cut of the Sky PPV ratings??

[kayjay]

I'm not English. I'm just trying to explain it. People don't believe Hatton made that much because they don't understand the nature of the contract, the surprise number of British sales, and they forget our money is worth less than half of the UK money. Yeah Floyd was the bigger name, the better fighter, etc., but the market and contract conditions favored Hatton by $15m or more.

No he doesn't get a penny of that money. Floyd gets off the HBO, and with the lower dollar and base-percentage contract (which is all HBO would have given him), he stands to make much less even though HBO did more buys than SKY.
