Danny Garcia demands $5mil for Kell Brook clash

[LacedUp]

5m sterling, no way does Brook deserve 50/50. Froch was saying he took around 8m whilst Groves took 1.5m. If Garcia accepts 5m dollars I'd feel he is underselling himself.

Brook is not a name, Garcia is.

Who's bringing the money though? If Brook gets PPV to the table, he deserves a fair shake.

$5million isn't out of the question if there's a $8million pot I would imagine.

Did Froch take 8m sterling versus Groves, or 8m dollars ? Ok I see this aint London, but if Fury can fill Botlon football ground Brook can fill Sheffield, especially against the guy who kod the British King.

60/40 versus Garcia is a fair shake or I'd say 50/50 of the UK revenue and Garcia takes all stateside. Garcia for me is worth more than an even split versus Brook.

I know you're a Brook fan, I like him too. He is one of a few Brits I enjoy watching, Warrington, Frampton and especially the new kid on the block Calum Smith.

Cherry pick knows he'd get worked over in that fight.

Lucas was a cherry pick?

I think he could actually get that in the UK

Froch took home 8million sterling. At the time it was almost 15 million dollars. Obviously Brook/Garcia wouldn't make that sort of money.

But yeah, agree that Garcia deserves a bigger shake. Especially if he's traveling to the UK, but I doubt he'll do it. But £2-3million can change most people's opinion.

I like those guys too. Callum Smith is a monster man. 6'4 as a super middleweight. Crazy.

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.

$5m, if my conversion is correct, would be 3.5m GBP.

You add that bringing Danny Garcia to the UK isn't going to happen on short money and why wouldn't Kell Brook be willing to take less?

3.5m to Garcia/ 2.5m to Brook isn't an impossible split to be okay with.

Isn't 3 million pounds around 5mil us dollars?

Your numbers keep changing. Brook isn't a big draw, 3/4 mil gate isn't happening, 600k PPV isn't happening and Brook taking less than Garcia isn't happening. Garcia is pricing himself out.

You may not think it, but a Brook-Garcia unification match in the UK 1) is a big fight and 2)will be pushed like heck by Matchroom/Sky Sports. The Brook-Gavin supershow, according to rumors, did about 400k PPV buys on Box Office; why is 600k PPV buys such an impossibility to you?

[elgu]

This is Garcia's way of pricing himself out. That said Brook should call his bluff and see what happens. The only relevant thing Garcia has done since beating Lucas is losing to Herrera.

Look, this one is easy....yeah DSG can get 5M, but only 2 or 3 from the purses and the other 2 or 3, Haymon has to give it to him, that it.

Otherwise no f. way he does 5M for himself. Nope. To me this is a bit of overpricing yourself. I could see 3M, but 5M is a bit far IMO.
