    What's wrong with this "Night of the Heavyweights" promotion?

    I'm going to fire off a letter to Hearn, Aram, and Duva. I'm going to make a case for this "Night of the Heavy Hitters" promotion on PPV.

    I think it would do 2 million buys worldwide at $39.95 [40 bucks] for a 80 million dollar take.

    All of the fights are matches meant to make for good fights.

    I left out Klitschko and Fury because Klitschko is 40 and would price himself out, and Fury is......... well, Fury.

    The night would start off with :

    Haye vs. Stiverne [1.5 million per fighter] - 3 mill total

    Browne vs. Briggs [1.5 million per fighter] - 3 mill total

    Wilder vs. Ortiz [2 million per fighter] - 4 mill total

    Joshua vs. Povetkin [ 2 million per fighter] - 4 mill total

    Pulev vs. Parker [ 2 million per fighter] - 4 mill total

    Big Baby Miller vs. Teper [ 1 million per fighter] - 2 mill total.

    That's 20 million in purses, and an 80 million dollar take. [[ 60 mill profit]]

    I'd pick Stiverne, Briggs, Wilder, Joshua, Pulev, Miller to win.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$


    Then I'd go to work on another promotion with the winners.

    Stiverne vs. Miller [ 2 million per fighter] - 4 mill total

    Briggs vs. Pulev [ 2 million per fighter] - 4 mill total

    Wilder vs. Joshua [ 5 million per fighter] - 10 mill total

    18 million in purses, and 2 million buys at $25.00 PPV - 50 mill take
    [[32 mill profit]]

    I'd pick Stiverne, Pulev, and Wilder to win.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$


    Then I'd work on a 3rd promotion

    Stiverne vs. Pulev [3 million per fighter] - 6 mill total
    [ winner fights Wilder]

    On the Stiverne vs. Pulev card I'd also match:

    Spence vs. Thurman [ 5 million per fighter] - 10 mill total

    Callum Smith vs Badou Jack [1 million per fighter] - 2 mill total

    Lomachenko vs. ????????? [ 1 million per fighter] - 2 mill total

    20 million in purses, and 1.5 million buys PPV at $40.00 - 60 mill take
    [[40 mill profit]]

    A promoter could make 60, 32, 40 million on the 3 promotions for a total profit of 132 million dollars

        First you complain I'm only giving 1.5 to Haye, then you call his opponent an old fat hypejob. How much should Haye be paid to get beat by that old fat hypejob

        I think the matches are well made, and the money is good. Lowest paid guys get 1.5 million, thats good money.

        The fights that pay 2 mill would be more exciting and harder fights.

        Haye could fight Stiverne for 1.5, or I could swap Stiverne out and have Haye fight Ortiz, Povetkin, or Parker.

        I thought about Haye vs. Parker and Pulev vs. Stiverne, but the fights seemed better as matched.
        Styles make fights, and I think the fights would be more entertaining the way i matched them.

          I matched Joshua against Povetkin, not Ortiz. I matched Ortiz against Wilder.

          I don't know what dazzo16 is talking about !!!
