    that's not as much as froch, but you don't have to pay crazy UK taxes.
    What are the taxes like in Oakland?

    Some people think Froch will make about $12million. I think Ward would take that in all honesty, taxes or not.

      cordingly is "the woman in the red dress." ward's wife is "the dump truck in the black moomoo."

        hbo would do ward - a rodriguez level opponent again. it did good numbers, and they want to keep the best fighter on the planet on their airwaves.
        Why did they pass on Mayweather then?

            Dude. I'm well aware of Ward's promotional issues. Point is that Ward has been on record saying that Froch, Kessler, Kashtonov etc. would do nothing for his legacy. He wants PPV money, and those guys will not bring it.

            So Ward vs Rodiguez level guy (ie Kashtonov) will not happen because primadonna Ward in his own mind is in the Floyd and Pac league.

Should be the other way around and that's why I don't get too upset when people talk about Froch surpassing Ward, though I don't agree at all. Fans are going to prefer the fighter who's fighting often and beating the best than the guy who isn't fighting at all.

                ward didnt' clear out the division, now?


                short memories, or new fans.

                      it depends on your accountant, and how you manage / invest your money for the year. that's the beauty of america, baby.

                      they're certainly lower than the taxes in a socialist country.


                      that said, even if the queen takes half, 12 million would obviously be a big raise.

                      what did froch make for the groves fight, and what was the split? it was on sky ppv, correct? what's the cost, how many did they sell, and what percentage goes to the fighters?
