Brits will take over the promo game in the US OF A

She gets paid. Volante got $150k Saturday. Persoon's offer is rumoured to be $200k at the moment.

You mean Katie Taylor gets paid only 200k, or the opponent? Seriously? I didn't even know her pay. It was just a guess. That's pathetic!

That's the opponents purses. Imagine she gets a couple of $100k more. Its more to say about the pay of womens boxing, shes the highest paid womens boxer. Hearn had to pay 10x Volante's highest purse to get her to fight Taylor.

She should get at least 5 mill for a fight or a little less, like Hearn offered Davis and is offering all these other American fighters. She's just as good, if not better than some of them. A lot of Americans know her as well

One thing is for certain. Dazn will not make it against pbc or espn in America. Nobody has even heard of it here, whoever named it dazn needs to be shot. This is 2019 wtf is 'Da Zone' lmfao

Yeah that has to be done. I love watching Usyk but no way I'm missing Wilder-Breazeale. That will be an action packed war.

I'd probably watch the Usyk fight live and watch Wilder knock Breazeale out on DVR. It's just bad business to try to compete with Wilder.

Considering that they only have a couple of years under their belt in the U.S I think they are doing ok. And by the way DAZN and Matchroom U.S.A are 2 different things.

Whoever puts on the best shows deserves the credit and shows like Canelo v Jacobs are top drawer but I have a feeling Eddie and Hardy ...sorry I mean Eddie and Barry will blow it with their arrogance and begin to put on the same crap as they often do in the uk but still expect top $. They are touting lots of names like Cal Smith and Brook to join Joshua in an already dodgy match up and Brook at least is taking of the event as a after 'this fight come the big names'......the Hearns will blow it, that's what greedy people do!

I like katie taylor I truly do think shes also decent looking which helps her value,but in no reasonable world does she deserve anywhere near 5 mil or even more than 1 mil,most male boxers don't make near that amount & womens boxing would never in a million yrs justify that amount for 1 simple reason= Nobody cares about womens boxing. To top it off theres barely any womens boxers & she only deserves to make as much as she generates which would never add up. Shes very popular in Ireland so unless she headlines as the main event there vs a big name shed be hard pressed to ever make a mil dor 1 fight. Feminism has no place in boxing.

I think that was some kind of attempt to relate to the “urban” crowd in the USA ie inner city youth types....it had an attempt at Ebonics sort of feel to it
