I think Jim is being honest as he sees it. Also, on this week's The Fight Game, Max Kellerman said that Joshua/Klitschko was the greatest event he has ever covered, then said that Alvarez/GGG 'wasn't going to be the biggest fight in history, not the best middleweight fight or biggest fight in 10 years'. Again I believe he believes it all to be true. he's glorifying Joshua contracted to Showtime and running down HBO's largest PPV match this year. I hope the Joshua hype is doing what they think will be good for boxing. Joshua is good 19-0 probably the best HW out there but he's only had 19 bouts, when he cleans out the HW division and over 30 fights then talk greatness. There is definitely some Kool-Aid going around HBO Sports studio, other than honesty there may be something fishy since Golden Boy wants Joshua and his ties are with HBO.

You think Joshua made £42 mil?

[KingHippo]

Isn't he already? Britain is the biggest boxing market at the moment.

[Randall Cunning]

You think Joshua made £42 mil?

Yeah, everything adds up til that £42 mil

[Robbie Barrett]

Yeah, everything adds up til that £42 mil

No it doesn't. The purse comes out of the TV and gate revenue, you think it just appears out of thin air? Where are you getting the numbers from? How do you know Joshuas split but not Klitschko's? How come you didn't add the PPV money for Canelo?

Your numbers are bollocks. Joshua Klitschkos was £20/$25 and sold 1.4 mil, Canelo PPV was $70 and sold 1 mil. Canelo's draw ****'s all over Joshua's.

As I stated I cut and pasted, not my numbers, dude said the Canelo numbers are official

I wanna know the difference between the UK and US PPV breakdown, for example Sky pays for all of the promotion and production of the event out of their 50%, wondering if the same applies to US PPV
