    Is the $80,000,000 prize money split between both weights or is it $80,000,000 per weight division?.

    These Champions have never seen money like this barring Groves so they better grasp the opportunity.

      Yea that 168 tournament isn't looking so great. Idk why Benavidez isn't in. I thought for sure he'd join, hopefully he does still.

      I just saw last night that Callum Smith vs Anthony Dirrell is rumored to be off so maybe that would likely mean Smith is in. And maybe Dirrell. Both are names which would enhance this tournament greatly.

      I thinking its asking to much for Ramirez to be involved with Bob having this new ESPN deal where he's gonna be in need of fighters to fill dates.

      And we all know Eubank Jr is no party to have to deal with so he's seemed like a long shot all along to me. Sr would probably wanna redesign the Muhammad Ali trophy before committing Jr to the tournament.

        I believe its $50M not $80M. And I think thats the general plan that it'll be $25M for each division, but I think they stated that sometimes it could be that its not split 50/50 like that.

        Based on the quality of guys in at 200 vs 168 I'd like to see the 200lb guys get a bigger cut this time for sure unless that 168 bracket starts looking a lot better.

          This is just crazy

          No ****ing about from these cruisers. A chance to fight the best in my division? While making great money? Sign me up.

          Simple as that. Prizefighting.

          Whether this project will have lasting success or not it has already delivered in my eyes. Cant wait for things to kick off!

            Did he not lose that to Gassiev?

            Edit: just remembered some ****ery going on and the WBA wasnt on the line. What a strange sport we follow. Lose a fight, keep your title.

              Big announcements coming from SMW according to WBSS twitter. Cant see it delivering in the same way, but if we can get some decent fighters in there then itll still be fun

                Thank Usyk for showing once again that you and your competitors care about fighting the best. The CW division ****s on all the other weight classes.

                  It''s a shame we didn't get canelo vs GGG last year! We could have had GGG in that SMW tournament.
