      Vargas is reportedly making $1.7 million which is his highest purse and way more than Kell's ever made. However bringing over foreign fighters and especially champions is very expensive and Brook needs to comprise. He will likely get a PPV upside too and it will be his highest purse so he needs to stop the greed.

        It is $4 million because of PPV in the UK. GGG-Jacobs is not PPV anywhere. GGG-Eubank Jr is PPV in UK. BJS cannot be PPV in UK as boxnation does not have PPV.
        Right ^^^...

            Jnr is getting paid and he ain't even a known commodity, 3 million quid is around 5 million dollars. Damn.

            Good pay to get stopped.

              Jr is already a big draw.

              The name, the style, the persona...it all comes together to generate £££'s.

                Jr came to Hearn precisely for this fight. And Hearn's money will result from Jr's purse -- hence the "generosity".

                  He isn't a big draw, his biggest headline event has been a british title fight.

                  But I like the guy, he is willing to walk the walk. I hope this fight does him good although I can't imagine how getting stopped will make him a star.

                    Boxnation do sell PPVs for every event they cover, price £30. But you get exactly the same access with a monthly subscription, which only cost £12. You just have to remember to ring in and cancel your subscription before the end of the month, if you only want to watch that one event.

                    Subscribing to Boxnation to watch a fight is the same as PPV, really. But Hearn has a huge reach advantage over Warren when comes to plugging and selling his PPV fights to the casual fans.

                    Just about everybody in the UK watches Sky Sports, but Boxnation is watched by boxing fans only. Eddie Hearn's monster reach is the reason why Eubank Jnr can earn $3/4 for fighting Golovkin in the UK, while BJS would only earn half as much.

                      I don't blame him and my opinion was the same for the Walters vs Loma situation, for what is considered "Big Fights" the fighters should be rewarded handsomely for big fights so that they can continue to step up and fight the best. But if they're being asked to fight the best for just a few 100K more than what they usually make then yes you will see guys continue to "Duck" and "Cherry Pick" until they get the offer they can refuse
