if this can attract the best boxers, sounds great. If not, meh. The TOTAL prize $$ for the entire season is (allegedly) $50 M. I suspect that this $50 M figure is illusory. But if so, that's to be divided bw 14 total main events (28 purses total). What would each final prize be? $6M or $8M or thereabouts? And less for the semis, and quarterfinals.
But who knows, Schaeffer may have deep pockets backing him, and the $50 M is accurate? Hell, Haymon had a bigger fund to rely on, I believe.
Soon as I hear the names being drawn in, maybe I'll get excited.
I'd suggest Supafly as a division, but I doubt theyd be interested in that - wont sell in the US or Europe.
In reality, I could see Jr. Middle as a good division -- lots of young, hungry fighters who would be attracted to that level of $$$. The Canelo level dude -- maybe even GGG - would probably sniff at the prize money -- and at being tied up for up to 3 fights, but the young bloods at 154 might be interested.
