Eubank Jr. expected to pocket $4M for Golovkin fight

[Lester Tutor]

Because K2 don't promote in the UK, idiot. Jeeze. If it's in the UK, the Brit promoter makes the offer. A good promoter with a marketable fighter and sky backing can make everyone happy. Weak promoter + unpopular fighter + box nation = no ppv.

Let me make it simpler for you. Ready?

Boxer A makes an average of 200K x 10 fights. That's 2 million. After taxes and self indulgences let's he takes home 1million, and didn't buy a house but lives in Abel's 2nd floor home.. so rents no problem.. ok

Now, substitue that 200K with realistic numbers pertaining to the fights, or rather, detailed earnings. Let's say that boxers has about 2 million to actually FRONT UP from PERSONAL savings, and mind Floyd who can make about 200 million during the year of 2015 aside...., so that means, Loeffler and endorsement parties can't come up with extra money to fulfill a deal BECAUSE UNIFYING THE BELTS IS A PRIORITY.

lol. you guys make Floyd the Genghis Khan of Sports in this era with this ridiculous excuses when talking about financial gain!

I have never seen "GGG didn't want to fight them" ever on this forum stop making shit up to prove a weak argument.

what does that even mean? At least cite a context and be specific. What are you referring to? I can only grade so many pop quizzes. read the previous posts.. lol

Yes. If you read my first comment you'll see I said Eubank Sr did a good job of pressuring the networks to come up with the money to get the fight made. You commented in the thread when people were saying Jr is going to duck the fight over money. That turned out not to be true. Jr doesn't have a long term contract with Matchroom. He's only there for three fights. He turned down a fight with Jacobs and a big money fight with BJS. He took a gamble and it paid off it seems. He's taking another gamble, the gamble to be great because he's nowhere near ready for GGG.

K2 needs to put pressure on HBO to come up with the money to make the fights. They didn't even pressure them to make the Cotto or Canelo fight. That's my problem with Loeffler. He took the formula that worked for Wlad and applied it to GGG. Get the belts and fight the number one contender. But it doesn't work like that in the lower weight classes because fighters can move up or down. As you see with Eubank, he's not ready for GGG but he made the fight for the right amount of money. He wasn't going to fight him for $1 million dollars. It's not fear, it's money that's stopping these fights from being made.

Ok it's not fear but would they fight any other guy in their division for that money? Of course, and they wouldn't bring 3 belts.

And that makes total sense. They should get more money for fighting the best in the division and the unified champ. Why do you think people lined up to fight Tyson and Floyd knowing they were the best and had little chance of winning? You had everybody from 135 to 160 calling out Floyd for a payday. Khan jumped two weight classes for a payday.

Lol the fcuk. The only thing I was able to spot in this ****pile is you think Ggg should reach into his savings to offer Saunders an extra 2m? Lol you're a comedian. Don't you worry about Gggs money, he's about to make gobs of it in the UK, and probably in the future. Willingness to travel can pay off big time, if you got the goods

[bigdunny1]

GGG is wasting time here , GGG not in the ring with Canelo or BJS is a waste of time, Canelo is the big name, BJS got the belt that will put him the record books

Exactly all I heard is its about belts or big fights and eubank is neither. Just funny how eubank is clearly the A side in this fight. A bum prospect LMAO

[HeroBando]

That's where GGG fights are broadcast in the UK

Eubank will be sky box.office. Team Ggg always gaining

yet I constantly site Floyd and his OWN TMT brand.

and you wonder why industry and real boxing pugilists laughed about Loeffler and Abel having any weight over Floyd. wait that's a pun innit?

These guys are demanding purses beyond many Floyd opponents. Not only is Floyd a way bigger star than Ggg may ever become , all of them were better known than Jacobs or especially Saunders. Call it risk assessment, whatever, usually looks like fear when they get into the ring

Seems like a big fight if it's Ppv, packed stadium, and this guy gets a 4m guarantee lol
