Crazy things have been happening in boxing for years now.
They're rejecting $1 - $2 mil offers because they think the other guy earned twenty times as much.
When they think of Hearn, they automatically associate him with DAZN spending money like drunken sailors.
And that saga had already ended long time ago. It wasn't as bad even when HBO, Fox, Showtime were still around.
It's like these prime networks HBO, SHO, FOX never left. Or they were replaced by even bigger broadcasters with a vengeance.
If I were to take a guess personally, I think Tank likely got around 5-7 millions from the single fight including his 2 million guaranteed, and Martin maybe 2-3 million...which is still significantly more than what he's ever made, and makes sense that he rejected the 1 million offer from Shakur which was also his potential highest purse.
I doubt it. How in neptune would any broadcaster end up with any profit at all? It almost seems like they set up these events just to serve one fighter for his financial needs. Everything is geared towards enriching one fighter. Why did HBO, Fox, Showtime left boxing?
"According to Sporty Salaries, $2 million is guaranteed for Gervonta Davis in the bout with Frank Martin. Frank Martin, the opponent, might get up to $500k, which would be the biggest payday of his career.
On fight day, if the bout between Frank Martin and Gervonta Davis surpasses the 800k pay-per-view sales mark, Gervonta Davis will potentially earn a maximum of $10 million. In comparison, Frank Martin may earn a maximum of $1.5 million."
Yep, I believe Gervonta Davis could have made around $20-25 million from the fight vs Frank Martin — but I don’t think we can say definitely $25 million.
