Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs: WBA Denies Request To Modify Purse Bid Split

[OnePunch]

Mr 97K passed up 10 million....stop making excuses.

that fight is a year away dummy, no need to accept the first offer........

You just spit a lot of facts that have no correlation. Each fight stands on its own. People pay for match ups just as people pay for individual fighters. Don't be a simpleton. Also, please go back and read where I indicated that premium seats prices would make up what the networks don't cover. Let me help you understand something...a fights monetary value isn't determined by if it's on ppv or not. Some fights are directed to ppv to maximize it's value, but nothing says that the networks cannot or will not put money up for this type of fight to be on their network.

You must get treated like whale dung at work because you get on these threads and start calling people names like a school girl when folks don't agree with you.

Theyre not gonna mark up the tickets 5x dude, don't be ridiculous. You can't come up with 1 premium cable show with a 5m total purse, gotcha. I knew you couldn't, doesn't happen. It especially won't happen vs a wide underdog mando he just fought in Reading PA with most leaving after undercard, and had that BK mega flop vs Quillin.

Haymon bid 5m for Wilder Povetkin. Wilder is more valuable, more popular, far better chance of winning, much better purse share, with the prospect of having to go to Russia if he lost. And that's when the money was flowing freely. Use your head for once

he doesnt know what he is talking about. For the fight to generate 10-12 million in purses, plus the undercard, promotion, and associated expenses, it would need to do in the neighborhood of 300k buys, a good live gate, and plenty of sales of foreign rights....

[HeroBando]

Exactly why can't a flat fee apply buddy? Explain? Who wrote that rule?

Again you refuse to use your head. If it's the biggest fight in boxing, both guys are bringing a lot to the table. Canelo vs Lemieux or Saunders will struggle to sell 350k. It's the norm for major ppvs, but esp for the biggest fight in the sport.

It's not even ppv. He thinks it gets 10m at the gate in NY lol. These know nothing fight hype trolls

So you're saying that Wilder is worth the same or more than Trip? Lastly...what forces this fight to A) Be in December B) Not be on ppv if necessary to make the money right?

What's more important, making the fight or keeping a date? As a fan....I'd rather wait.

Wilder isn't more popular than GGG.

Wilder isn't more popular than GGG.

Wilder's more popular than Jacobs, who Haymon would be bidding on behalf of

Reading is fundamental...I said 8M in purses.

See above.

It's been mandated for December, long time coming. If Jacobs doesn't like the date, fine drop the belt and come back when ready.
