Comments Thread For: Broner Blasts Hearn's Three-Fight, $6.75M Offer as 'Slave Deal'

[carlosjj66]

Very ignorant

He cost way less better go dancing on an oldlady strip club

Wtf deal is he on NOW if this deal paying 2x-2.5x more is a "slave deal"?

[Eff Pandas]

No one has ever accused AB of being smart, so ****** decisions shouldn't be surprising.

LOL, yea you aren't wrong I'd be surprised if someone was surprised by this turn of events by Broner.

Broner could damn near use the George Costanza opposite life strategy & be in a better place today then he's been at since Maidana.

He gets a percentage of revenue from his fights. Hean made Mikey and offered based on his reported purses, Mikey laughed it off and told him he makes more than what he offered. A lot of these fighters have it structured to received revenue percentages from their fights. Add to that that those signed to Haymon only pay him a flat fee while if they signed with Hearn they would pay him a percentage from their purse.

you dont know what you are talking about. It is illegal for a promoter to take a percentage of a negotiated purse. The only times a promoter can legally take a percentage is in purse bid fights, and if there is a revenue share agreement, such as Golden Boy / Canelo who have an 80-20 revenue agreement

Broner is done, lol

He can't hang with the elite at 147lbs, and he's too undisciplined to get his body down to 140lbs either.

Eddie Hearn offered Broner a lifeline, in the face of him basically being done in feature fights with a bad performance against Vargas.

Guess you can't help everyone.

Benavidez looking at a layoff or and/or his pockets thinning quick.

I bet Arum told him that, unlike other promoters, he genuinely cares

Or Arum paid him enough of a signing bonus that even if he sits on the shelf a while, it'll be worth it.

You have no idea what he gets paid right now.

Shhhhh...We are all witnessing AB's negotiation tactics in action..

[Scipio2009]

I think he's negotiating like the Haymon/TMT crowd of savvy business men said of the Wilder, AJ situation.

Broner doesn't have the juice Wilder does though.

Broner isn't a top 5 welterweight (though he may be a top 5 140lb fighter if he could make the weight), has performed ****ty when put on the big stage, and doesn't bring much outside new money with him.

Broner doesn't have $5m backing him, nevermind $50m.

[otrocubiche]

Ok, he went from 40 m guaranteed to 6.75 m guaranteed and he keeps negotiating a better deal, smart.
