Danny Garcia demands $5mil for Kell Brook clash

[Raonic]

LOLOLOLOLOL. Anyone surprised?

Sky takes half of the PPV money, so 5 mil is out of the question.

Even with Sky getting half of the PPV money, that's still ~$7m into the pot off of PPV. Figure $3m from the gate (Froch-Groves 2 did ~$9m at the gate), however much money for event sponsors, and the the money from US TV, in addition to whatever other revenues, and you're talking about easily $12m-$13m on the fight.

$5m to Danny, $4m to Kell, and another $4m to Eddie Hearn (to work out the financing for the rest of the card and whatever logistics that would come up0

That would be a very interesting fight but it won't happen.

Floyd needs to hurry up and beat up on Garcia before he loses his 0. I see Berto-Ortiz winner facing off against Danny.

Brook got $200K in his fight with Porter.

You gotta be an idiot to believe Hearn would be able to come up with $5 mil for just one fighter in a UK arena. Otherwise, Rios vs Brook would have been made easily and Hearn would have earned 10 times as much if these silly figures are correct. You don't even have to pay Rios that kind of money.

I can't believe how many people think this is a logical ask. Let's list all of the fighters in the last say 5 years who have gotten paid $5m in a fight not including Floyd, Manny or Klitschko.

Froch (in the Groves rematch)
Cotto and Canelo against eachother
Cotto (against Martinez)
If there are more, let me know because I can't think of any.

$5m paydays are for MAJOR draws in MAJOR fights, they are not very common. This would be an average draw in a slightly above average fight. He doesn't deserve anything close to $5m.

They would need around 600k PPV buys to make $7 mil after Sky takes their share. Brook isn't going to take less than Garcia and shouldn't be expected to, you're also forgetting VAT etc.

Here's a breakdown of the Froch-Groves financials. The fight needs to make around double the fighters purses.



$5 mil for Garcia isn't going to happen.

[Crazylegs77]

The UK paper the star is reporting that Danny Garcia is willing to travel across the pond for a summer blockbuster with Kell Brook if Eddie Hearn can cough up 5 million dollars.

Will Eddie Hearn put his money where his mouth is?

I for one highly doubt it.

Then he says ok and Danny says hey I meant 5million pounds

Dont see any way Danny fights Brook.

[PulpFriction]

Thanks to Danny's unrealistic demand this fight will never happen. Look for him to fight winner of Berto/Ortiz, what a fkn joke.

[TOBYLEE1]

Danny can't ask for that because Haymon controls all negotiations
