    GGG-Brook is on regular HBO, right?

      It's UK ppv, so it's not apples to apples. UK ppv is much cheaper but they don't have cable providers taking 50%. Hearn is paying out 9m in guarantees so they're betting it does well

        Hearn shouldn't talk! What happened to Eubank Jr.? Isn't that "your guy?" Why has Brook's negotiations with Bradley, Rios, and Vargas, all failed? You get Brook Frankie Gavin, Jo Jo Dan, and Kevin Bizier, then you throw him in with GGG? That's piss-poor management!
        Hearn tried one month to get the fight done but the fighter did not want it. How is that bad management? His work is to get the fight on table, it is the decision of the fighter if he wants to fight or not. Fight makers have to do lot of work behind the curtains which is possibly too much for your little head to handle. It is not as simple as A B are fighters, now we have a fight. The work going behind is tremendous. This is why Hearn is a millionaire and you are an internet ****poster.

          Just wondering, how much cheaper is UK ppv vs the HBO ones?

            I guess sky ppv is about $22, and Canelo Smith is 65. Much lower barrier to entry

              So, the journeyman welterweight Brook, is GGG's best opponent to date ?

              Or was Golovkin talking **** - again - when he said that..... ?

                  ah so to make the same money as in US, they'd have to sell triple in UK. Would be interesting to see what the sales are like.

                    Not really since in the US only 45% goes to the fighters and promoters, while in the UK it's 80%

                      does anyone have a problem with that ?

                      THAT, is beyond absurd.....

                      i will put my neck out here.....

                      ..... you business experts, who know more than Al Haymon..... are FKN TRIPPING if you think that he is ****** enough to enter into that type of arrangement

                      his business model is likely much closer orientated toward the UK model

                      Haymon isn't bleeding, like Arum tries to make out..... Haymon, and his fighters, are not the ones who are constantly whining like a stuck pig
