Stephen Espinoza explains why that contract is a slave contract.

Doesn't New york tax boxers like a crazy amount of money?

Yea NY has high taxes

I know. Half of them said the $50m offer was fake.

Lmao sure did and now they don’t even mention it.
I mean Haymon, DiBella, Finkle are more established in boxing than Hearn. Why tf would they not know if a fight would generate 100m or not? They’ve moved the goalposts to the Venue now lol

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Haha touche.

But anyhow he's a promoter, he's a big mouth trying to promote and grab attention.

He actually is a pretty cool guy but this America vs UK boxing beef is keeping me loyal lol. It’s good for boxing in my opinion. I’ll like him after Wilder AJ is made

The # of excuses are tiring. The funny thing is, I don’t think Wilder beats Joshua but they’re starting to make me think I’m wrong

How much longer is he going to get 2,5 mil a fight for now he's slipped into the "opponent" catergory?

[OnePunch]

If you're to make an offer to one of the biggest draws in the sport of boxing today, you need to do your homework. Period.

Why would Eddie bring up numbers like this without first figuring out what Broner is actually making? Why didn't Eddie request a sit down with Broner to talk and discuss numbers, and then throw an offer?

Why would you as a promoter, approach a fighter of Broner's magnitude through email and the first thing you do is throw out numbers that aren't even spectacular and expect a positive response from it?

I'm not saying 6.75mil for 3 fights isn't a good contract, but Broner is CLEARLY making more then that on a per fight basis with no contract at all. If you're going to come with a contract, you need the approach that Roc Nation took; throw out a crazy number like 40 mil for a certain amount of fights. Even THAT got turned down by Broner.


My biggest problem with all of this is lack of research/backround information. You wouldn't make yourself look this ****** had you done that, if you are Eddie Hearn in this case.

wrong. What he currently makes is irrelevant. Hearn obviously is not looking to lose a bunch of money, so like any responsible businessman, he offers what he thinks the revenue will support. And the receiver of that offer can accept, decline, or make a counter offer, and go from there. Broner just happens to be ******ed and does his best to publicly burn bridges when doing so makes absolutely no sense.

A gate keeper at best getting paid 2 million a fight. Let’s see. Doctors make 150K a year for average doctors.
He has 10-12 years of college. Sounds too generous to me.

Doctors have careers that span over 30 years though just to put things into context. I don't disagree with your point, but I wanted to highlight the salaries of different athletes and how their earning potential is short lived.
