    It is not a given that it will be on Sky Box Office, considering Joshua may be fighting the week before, plus it is borderline whether the fight would be big enough for UK PPV with the time difference.

      Crawford is getting his $3.5m, keeping quiet, and hanging his hat on some magical upside on the fight.

      Crawford gets his money, Khan gets his $5m, Arum gets the costs for the event, Arum gets his own piece on the event, and then Crawford maybe gets upside.

      Outside looking in, Crawford is likely going to have to see the PPV draw north of 350k PPV buys to see a penny beyond his guarantee.

        Not a chance in hell this does 350k buys. The target should be 150k buys. And Khan at this point against anyone but Brook isn't doing good PPV numbers in the UK, especially at 4 am. Maybe 50-75k? MAYBE?

        If Crawford is getting $5 million himself then this will be a failure for sure. If he is getting his usual $3-3.5 million? Still a loss but a loss TR could probably handle. Any loss just comes out of the boxing budget.

          The chances of Crawford making a penny more than his guarantee are slim to none and slim is on vacation.

          But Arum is making a big investment here to try to build Crawford and he should be thankful. A fight like this could struggle to break even, Arum likely knows that, but this is how you try to create a PPV star.

          Crawford will be marketed as the A-side, and really is the A-side in the sense that the fight exists to benefit him, but Khan will definitely be making more money here.

            I doubt his Fight Purse will be listed at $5 Million (For TAX PURPOSES), likely will be a lot of back end money, especially overseas money. I think fighters Purses need to stop being disclosed all together, that is probably what got Pacquiao in trouble with the IRS. Listing these big Fight Purse that he likely wasn't even getting but was trying to keep up with Mayweather

            If I'm a fighter I would have my promoter list my Purse as low as possible to keep the IRS off my ASS

              theres no way u know what crawford will get. 3.65 mil is just his minimum for espn. U don’t know what his ppv minimum is.

              Why do u just make stuff up?
              Literally no one here knows what crawford will make yet u make that statement like it’s a fact. I bet u $1,000 his guarantee for the fight is over $3.5 mil

                Crawford is getting his guarantee, and not a penny more was my point.

                    Simple economics, man.

                    If you want to think that Amir Khan is going to get $5m, and Terence Crawford getting $5m, with Bob Arum knowing for damn sure that he's not going to cover $10m in purses (plus the costs of the event), that's on you.

                    How would I get my money from you anyway? You've already shown yourself to be a sucker who won't stand by what you've said; what makes this any different?

                    Your word isn't worth **** here, tbh

                      Crawford would be earning much much less, this isn’t about money for him. This is what boxers have to do to breakthrough sometimes. Joshua did the same thing against Charles Martin, took the short end of the stick to make a name for himself. The reward would be down the line.
