Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor: Dana White Not Involved in Negotiations

[BOXINGADICT]

you do realize ari and al don't actually put on these shows right? The ones who do are leonard and dana...so you as a business owner are going to agree to a split before you know what you potentially are on the hook for? There are many intangibles involved in even the smallest of events, an event of this magnitude has a lot of unknowns that you need to account for before settling on money...neither al nor ari manages these events but guess who does...dana and leonard. From merchandise placement, to concession sales, to additional security costs..neither al nor ari have any idea about any of that shh, so they do what any smart businessman does and that's call in the people who actually deal with that shh.

al haymon is one of the biggest event promoters in music and boxing history.... Al haymon has been promoting and outting on concerts for so many musicians for decades.... He even did tours for whitney houston, bobby brown, nicky minaj and lil wayne.... Countless others as well.... As haymon and floyd ocntrol all their events themselves from top to bottom....

Back up the Brinks truck of money.....

I know people like to complain however this fight is going to make a ton of money and a lot of people will get paid off this fight which is what people fail to realize. Not just Floyd and McGregors team but the whole Vegas strip right down to the maid who gets $100 tip or Uber drivers cleaning up over the weekend. I'm all for this because at the end of the day many will be better off even if only a little bit more from this fight. That's a beautiful thing.

this fight will be a split revenue fight... Im guessing floyd will get 60% if not more and conor will get 40%....

Connor 40%??..... He's only made 1 million in his highest purse. It would be ludicrous to give him that much money.

i think 70-30 for floyd is the right deal but im sure ufc wants to get paid just for this event to take place... Thats why im guessing 40% but who knows...

I know about Al Haymon, and I know about his business acumen. Still does not mean Al is or has ever actually been hands on. If that were the case the job of Event Coordinator would not exist and to further end these endless retorts, Dana White has spoke and called bullshh..I think his own explanation as to why this news is fake holds up pretty damn well. Entertainment is not a field where the bosses do any real work, and I know boxing doesn't have the highest I.Q. fans in sports but c'mon...anyone here who thinks Haymon is actually hands on in any of his events needs to go take a business class and learn something.

boxing shows are alot simpler to put on than ufc....

And how many boxing matches have you put on?

[turnedup]

um sir this is a boxing show.... Dana has never put on a global boxing event which haymon and mayweather specialize in... This is boxing not mma sir..... Mayweather has been doing global scale ppv shows for years..... His fights have been broadcast in more than 100 countries for yearssss.. They have the template..... The hold is the split and the date.... Thats it.... Like i said dana or leonard are not needed for those details.... They can do the day to day promoting like employees do...

LMAO. Floyd shows up to his fights bro, wake the fk up. Seriously Floyd nor his company had actually put together a fight themselves until the Berto fight. They replaced GBP with Dibella behind the scenes. Floyd didn't even had a business license to put on an event til a few months before the Berto fight....So again how has Al or Floyd ever put on a fight themselves on a global scale? All PBC events have third party promoters handling things for a fee....AGAIN..AL HAYMON IS NOT HANDS ON! By your logic the president of a bank also mops the floors..that's literally the argument we are having here. Haymon is a litigator/negotiator and it ends there.

mayweather promotions promoted floyd vs manny and floyd vs berto dummy... Dibella isnt a vegas promoter he only works in new york.... Damn casuals...Floyd used to pay golden boy a 3% fee which is a great deal to use someone elses promoters permit.... canelo pays golden boy 7% to promote his fights so mayweather was getting a great deal!

And how many boxing matches have you put on?
