50k whoa there i don't think he even made that much. main events probably just bought him a happy meal for beating up a tomato can.

You don't think? Which means you don't know. Which means you're just spouting bullsht, as usual. Thought so.

well when they don't release the purses that probably means he made diddly squat. but the ticket prices were 30 dollars to 250 dollars with most tickets being toward the 30 dollar range. the capacity was about 7000 and i doubt they sold 7000 tickets. but lets be generous and say they sold out and the average ticket is around 100 bucks. 100 times 7000. that's 70k profit for the whole show. is adamek really gonna take 50k of that 70k? i think not. main events is gonna take most of it and leave adamek with 5 bucks.

You had me sold until the 100 times 7000 equals 70K part.

oh sorry i was calculating wrong but still 700k is not much in live gate. when most fights do over ten times that. so you would think adamek would get at least ten times less with such a low live gate and when you factor in their is no additional tv money.

So it wasn't televised?


Lol, just read that not only was Hopkins one and only offer only 500K, but the fight was expected to make in the neighborhood of 4.5 million.

Hopkins actually said on ESPN the actual offer was 1.4 million.

[Manny Duckman]

Hope this fight happens. Hopkins could easily age over night

Then Hopkins was less than truthful. His manager also said they had planned to fight David Haye, if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
