Fight contracts Splits decided on outcome

[Funky_Monk]

Why aren't fight contracts set up on the basis of the outcome rather than perceived draw in terms of audience?
Would this make close match up's easier to make?
What are the pitfalls of this approach?

I think a guy who's a bigger draw deserves a bigger cut, but in circumstances where both guys are well known I don't comprehend why ar arbitrator isn't used. If its a voluntary fight and both sides can't agree somebody independent needs to be brought in. There's too many big fights that don't happen because of this non sense.

I think if there was more emphasis on winning in contracts maybe more top fighters would fight each other?

Honestly, it's boxing lol it's such a bizarre business I think guys would just walk away from those contracts and fight guys who are willing to have a traditional pay split.

Lol not happening anytime time soon. Only when boxing starts losing money will things change, until then guys will continually be over paid to fight non threats.

Bradley/Pacquiao I
Rios/Abril
De la Hoya/Sturm

The list goes on and on. Purse should be based on accomplishments combined with popularity/drawing power. The right guy doesn't always get the decision in boxing but he shouldn't lose his a part of his purse because of the judges incompetence.

because its just a dumb way to do business


you do know everyone gets paid a percentage of what the fighter makes right?

So the promoters, Trainer, Cutman, Sparring Partners, everyone will get jipped in this business model.
