Is Bryant Jennings asking too much in wanting $2 million to fight Wlad?

[ShoulderRoll]

That doesn't seem like an unreasonable amount to me especially for a heavyweight title fight on HBO. Klitschko would still be getting the lion's share of the money.

[Weebler I]

What's the total purse?

Jennings shouldn't be getting f-all to be honest, $2 million for a guy whose only notable wins are Spilka and Perez. Doesn't even deserve the shot, never mind a multi-million payday.

[El-blanco]

Depends what the overall budget is, and how much they anticipate making off the card. Also what has Jennings done to warrant that amount? Fighting a hw champ doesn't entail that you deserve some huge purse. Guys much more accomplished aren't getting that kind of money.

Hell no, Jennings has a greater earning potential. He's only started making some big fights and he's still developing as a fighter. If he fights and gets badly beaten by Wlad he loses a great deal of his earning potential.

Being with Roc Nations instead of just Gary Shaw should give him a great platform for launching the next phase of his career. He's already mandatory for the Wilder/Stiverne winner.

I think it is pretty unrealistic. 2 million on HBO not PPV?
I also don't see him getting any German money. If he doesn't get picked, hope it's briggs over Ruiz if it comes down to it

Depends on how you look at it.

Has he made anywhere near $2 million? Most likely not. So yes, that's far too much to ask.

However, he is probably also signing his life away with a 3 fight agreement should he win, which he probably won't. In fact, there are a better chance of Jennings retiring forever than him beating Klitschko, which means, no $2 million is not too much.

He probably also knows that HBO want Klitschko to fight Jennings and Jennings has a guaranteed shot at Wilder/Stiverne, so he has some cards to play. All in all, probably not too much to ask.

That's probably what will happen. Jennings will price himself out and then they'll say, "well we can't fight this fat slob and be taken seriously." So they'll fight briggs. It's almost by design. All those fights are a mismatch, atleast the Briggs one will have some theatre.

[Beercules]

No what the hell?

Depends on the purse but 2 million for Jennings? I don't see it. 1 million is realistic IMO.

[Butt stuff]

Hopefully Wlad ****s that offer off and gets Fury into the mix

[Beercules]

**** it. I hope the Jennings fight doesn't happen so the Briggs fight does



WAR BRIGGS!
