Why is Joshua expected to pay fighters double or triple what Floyd did?

they did not get flat fees, they got part of the ppv split sir

Yes I know, but we also know these boys weren't even making a 25% split based on what we know Floyd was getting. The guarantee will eat into that split anyhow. It's not like they say ok here is the $3 million guarantee, and then you get X on top. The guarantee is there to ensure if the fight bombs, they will make that figure regardless.

Obviously they had a share of the revenue but apart from Cotto, Hatton, Pac, that share was well below 30%, and Hatton only because the UK ppv numbers were far beyond what anyone thought was possible at the time.

Hell Floyd himself only had a 32.5% share against Oscar, and he was a ppv fighter in his own right and p4p number 1!!

Canelo made around $13 mil for the 3rd biggest fight in history. Tards saying Wilder deserves more though.

Exactly...

So according to Hearn Parker made 6M on 33% split you want to do math and figure out how much AJ made in unification fight

I think it ended up being around $25 after everything was accounted for, but that was still less than 20%.

Not sure what you are getting at. Parker has made over $8 million. Joshua has made around $19 million. Joshua probably made more or less the same against Takam, possibly lesd. He's had to pay for that WBO belt essentially.

[McNulty]

He just had to pay Parker, £8 million, $11 million!!!

Got a source for the £8M purse? Hean said it was far less than 6M US.

Joshua has made around $19 million.

Again, source? I've seen £15M. See how this works?

Hearn is probably the best one, in fairness you can see the Sky figures on the night, there is a way to check their viewing figures. Whilst that won't give you buys, it's a good indicator. My point being, maybe the fight didn't do quite as well as projected.

Either way £6 million is still $8.5 million, and £15 million is still $21 million. We know it's somewhere in that ball park. It doesn't really address or argue against the point in my thread.

Hearn is the worst source, he can say whatever he wants because there is no Athletic Commission that reports earnings for the UK. How can you see what figures on Sky? Can you be more specific?

He's not being offered £15M, he's being offered 12.5M USD which is £8.8M.

You guys need to do your research and quit posting fake numbers. Thirty thousand threads on the same subject and 90% can't even get the dang numbers right.
