Wade/Golovkin Purse

[The Big Dunn]

it doesnt even matter which fighter you are talking about, the standard is the same. If the promoter lost money, the fighter was overpaid.

Plain and simple.

I can agree with this.

[The Big Dunn]

Well its apparent Al has been covering losses up to this point, but with the money dwindleing down, that ship is quickly sailing away. Also you assume that K2 is losing money on this fight when there is no reason to believe they are. While the old addage goes that you have to spend money to make money. Eventually you do have to start making money. These promoters/managers are'nt a central bank that can print money at will.

Never said that GGG does'nt want more money for bigger fights. The difference is that from what we can see, GGG is actually generating the revenue to justify more money.

Fair points. its not fight by fight but year by year. They can lose on this one and make it up the next time out.

If al covers the losses the same way K2 does, it shouldn't matter.

Except they aren't exactly being done the same way.

HBO isn't the same as Waddell & Reed.

[HeroBando]

ok. there in lies the point.

If the card will not sell enough to cover the purses and that underage is covered by HBO, is there a disincentive for GGG to fight better comp like posters say there is for other fighters?

Dunno, he's trying to fight better comp any way he can. It helps if the pot is large, since better challengers want a fortune to get in the ring with him

They already weighed-in backstage, but here's the actual live.

2M for gg? Ridiculous. Wow now he doesn't have any incentives to step up. Look how much he's making fighting no hopers

ward just made 2 millino to fight paul smith and barrera. ward chose those oppoennts. ggg tried to fight better figthers but was mandated to fight wade. you don't see the difference? ggg's a big draw so thats usually why fighters make big money. ward isn't and roc nation loses a lot on all of his fights. you don't see the difference?

Ward tried to fight a better fighter as well but got turned down and was forced to go to 175. HBO gave him a 3 fight deal with Kov being the last fight.

nice try, but all Ward tried to do was to get K2 to accept some okey-doke deal that would have tied GGG up for a year and a half while Ward was on his Tuneup Tour 2015-2016.........

I was talking about Stevenson.



No, I'm lying I was referring to Mr. 164 aka The 97k kid.

Ward tried to fight Zac Dunne and Rupert Murdock and got turned down for them too.
