Comments Thread For: Hearn: Khan Would Get More For Brook Than He Got For Canelo

[about.thousands]

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the purses for the fighters. Alvarez's base purse is $3.5 million, although he will earn many millions more from television revenue and profits from the promotion, as will Khan, whose base purse is $2 million.

Where did the extra $4 mil, $7 mil, or $11 mil come from for Khan? If you think Khan made over $4 mil for the fight explain to me where the extra revenue came from

Khan's purse for the fight was $2 Mil. Where is the other $11 Mil coming from if he's set to make $13 Mil? I know box nation carried the fight but I highly highly doubt they paid $11 Mil for the rights. Where is he getting the other $11 Mil?

Those numbers were bandied around on Boxing scene. I was in doubt, but people insisted. 2 million sounds low, but right. I never thought the 13 million was real. Wilder's heavyweight title fight sold for 7 million total. How is a Canelo weight title worth more than a heavyweight title?

I don't even see how he'd make more than $5 mil. I'm sure BoxNation didn't pay $3 mil for that fight and it wasn't a PPV on BoxNation. And he wouldn't get the full rights fee anyway. Nobody can explain to me where all these extra millions came from.

I see that number keeps getting lower and lower. First it was $13 Mil. Then I read $9. Mil. Now I'm reading $6 mil. His purse for the fight was $2 mil. Where did the other $4 mil come from?

From all sources you are correct $2m purse plus his share of PPV and his deal with Boxnation who screened in the UK which COULD bump it up to around $6m.....only time will tell.

The fight was PPV on BoxNation? And what time did the fight come on over there?

No , sky sports normally do ppv uk and because Khan's popularity is not that good and the fight was on at 4.30 a.m. sky were not interested and could not make a ppv out of it so Boxnation a much smaller platform of £12 per month subscription took it.

Some sources are saying Khan got a share of the American ppv and his fee of whatever from BN.

There's been smokescreens coming from the Khan camp as Khan would have made many more millions fighting Brook in England!
Promoter Hearn said he would make around £10 million ($14.5m) ...Khan wanted that figure guaranteed but then stopped talking!

Like I say only time will tell.

Yep. And that fight for sure would've been PPV with Khan as the A-side. But he settled for a $2mil guarantee and won't make anywhere near $14.4Mil. He won't even make anywhere near $5Mil for that fight. The PPV numbers for HBO should come out tomorrow. I highly doubt this fight did 900k like the Cotto fight that generated $58 Mil in revenue.

Eddie sounds very desperate

Its actually pretty sad, if you can't get Brook the big fights, just release him from his contract

Eddie has been doing this call out Khan routine through the media for over 2 years now.

That's the minimum they have to disclose legally.

Khan made around £6 - 9 million

Actually Boxnation outbid Sky for the Khan fight. Eddie first said Khan you can make 10m, so Khan agreed then Eddie backed out and was only promising half the amount 5m. Then Khan offered Brook 2m his career high payday they turned it down. Lets not pretend Khan wasn't interested in the fight.
