$20 million purse?

hbo lost a lot of money.......

Yup. Another fight that's going to kill boxing. Calzaghe and Roy were basically thieves here.

Not really. Roy got more percentage of the PPV'S while Joe got more percentage of the live-gate.

wheres ur proof

[Mugwump]

I know it's a lot of money, but that won't last him very long. He will be back in the ring no doubt.

Ten million wouldn't last Tyson very long (two trips down Rodeo drive - at the most), but it's more than enough for Joe.

He practically lives like a monk.

10 mil, damn thats alot of money. good for calzaghe, the man should just retire unless he wants to fight dawson which i think would be a good fight, calzaghe would school him but dawson is still young and has heart so i can see dawson pushing the fight like kessler did

[WhoreUs]

Yup. Another fight that's going to kill boxing. Calzaghe and Roy were basically thieves here.

lol

you're too negative , bsriz......

boxing is fine. boxing will be fine.

i wish boxing was still a mainstream sport......i wouldn't mind not having to buy ppv......BUT boxing will be okay.

we've had such great fights this year. izzy-raf 3 , jmm-pac 2 , cotto-marg...... who cares about the duds? (notice how most of the duds involve the old guys who should retire)

[ATFsven]

Not really. Roy got more percentage of the PPV'S while Joe got more percentage of the live-gate.

its a 50/50 deal you plum.
as in total revenue split down the middle.

i don't know how 250 buys gets 20million payday for the fights

that doesn't add up

500K buys yes, but not 250K
