Haymon to make over $1 million off Khan-Canelo

Who's blocking it? Showtime?
HBO is on board...there's no reason for Showtime to even be involved in the fight. Stevenson holds no obligation to them whatsoever....Comment

If it's all about making the fighters the most money, let it go to the highest bidder regardless of any contracts or networks.Comment

Cool... then it's not about the highest bidder. Its about catering to one guy who has a contract. If his promotional team had been smart, they would have allowed for their fighter to go where the money flows...

Hey I don't agree with the exclusivity but I also don't see why the fight can't take place. Stevenson is essentially a free agent and HBO has agreed to have him on their network. Supposedly he could make as much as 6 million for the fight. So what's the issue? Showtime wants in on a piece of it? Haymon should be advising his guy to make the 6 million, not be looking out for networks he's in bed with..Comment

You could use the same exact argument for Kovalev signing with HBO in the middle of the rumblings for the fight. He could have not signed an exclusive and forced HBO, Sho/PBC into a bidding war.Hey I don't agree with the exclusivity but I also don't see why the fight can't take place.

Nowhere has anybody seen a $6 million guaranteed figure at any point in time on this planet. Where you got that figure from is likely horriric math?Comment

No, where I got it from is a breakdown of the estimated money figures from the fight that was posted in an article here a few days ago..it said upwards of $14 million in revenue split 50-50... $2 million guarantee up front then 50%back end profits...You could use the same exact argument for Kovalev signing with HBO in the middle of the rumblings for the fight.

Either way, Haymon is looking out for a network instead of his client apparently... They know the fight won't take place anywhere but HBO so they've essentially taken themselves out of the picture.Comment

If you break the law and end up in court over it, telling the judge you are going straight now is not going to get you off the hook.
Where does the report of Haymon making $1000,000 from this this fight come from, btw?Comment

That's obviously bogus. Gate won't go higher than $2M.No, where I got it from is a breakdown of the estimated money figures from the fight that was posted in an article here a few days ago..it said upwards of $14 million in revenue split 50-50... $2 million guarantee up front then 50%back end profits...

PPV won't break 200k at $30 = $6M (net not gross)
These are generous estimates so there is still a missing $6M.Comment
