Comments Thread For: Spence-Porter To Earn $2 million Each; Benavidez-Dirrell $1M

What Harvard trained lawyer sounds like that, you racist ****?!

They can’t help it....they hate the man because he is black. He is a black businessman that has put together the most high profile boxing outfit in the USA, with the biggest stable of fighters, and much of the business is run by other black men. White nationalist incel types are terrified of black economic empowerment.....it absolutely enrages them. As a ***, I recognise the rhetoric and the mindset of these types. If they could, they’d have another black Wall Street, another Rosewood, just like Krystalnacht. As long as haymon is successful they will pop up all around the net spewing their 4/8chan inspired white nationalism.....from the council estate and or “mama’s” basement.

Al Gaymon doesn't exist and you know it bytch

So, you're standing with the racist too.

No, I'm against racists like you.

Well let's put it in context then using THE FACTS.

Mayweather age 28-31
Apr 8/06 – W (Judah) – $5,000,000
Nov 4/06 – W (Baldomir) – $8,000,000
May 5/07 – W (De La Hoya) – $25,000,000
Dec 8/07 – W (Hatton) – $38,000,000

1. Arturo Gatti (6/05) 369,000 buys = $16.6 million
2. Zab Judah (4/06) 378,000 buys = $17.0 million
3. Carlos Baldomir (11/06) 325,000 buys = $16.2 million

How the hell is Spence where Mayweather was when he fought Baldomir when he's making literally a QTR of Floyd's guarantee? This fight won't even do 325k PPV buys at that.

I'm sure he'll make a few more dollars with sponsors but the whole point is this. Spence needs to stop going around claiming he's the cash cow and who can't sell tickets when he's earning the same thing Porter is getting and his guaranteed purses are even less than Crawford.

The only how Spence can ascend to the next level is by beating Crawford or Canelo. period.

Half the PPV revenue goes to the distributors, remember?

All three of your listed PPVs would then have Floyd splitting $8m-$9m with his opponent (plus whatever his share was of the gate and sponsors).

Errol Spence Jr was said to have ended up with $8m+ for the Mikey Garcia fight (his listed guarantee was only $3m, but that's why you look to own your own show).

Floyd went as far as he could go, moving from a good fighter to a million dollar fighter, all they way up into being a $5m fighter, and Bob Arum told him that that was it. Floyd thought otherwise, bought himself out of his deal, went to $8m, and then used the heat from Oscar De La Hoya and a well-placed persona change to triple even that.

Errol Spence is at $8m now, will likely top $8m on this Porter fight in the end, and then, in a similar way to Floyd's story, will be looking at a fight with Manny Pacquiao that can likely double that for him for that fight and going forward, while Crawford takes another fight for $3m.

Don't fool yourself here; Crawford doesn't move the needle, and as much as shot as it was, it's not really all that wrong to argue that Fury (until he gets washed out by Wilder this time), Lomachenko, and Ramirez are higher on the ESPN pecking order than Crawford is because that looks to be the truth.

For you to think that beating Crawford, a fighter with no real notable wins since Gamboa at 135lbs, is going to be some launching pad at 147lbs is laughable.

Haymon be like: “here’s how we funna do! You funna spend only $30k this year, the rest we funna save away, but we funna save the money in the Gaymon Islands offshore just in case I needs to flee!”

Hahahaha......

[daggum]

Luis Ortiz is getting a PPV shot at Wilder, likely on a guarantee near $2m, with the chance to still likely earn that $5m-$7m if the event ends up tracking like Wilder-Fury did.

In a situation where he's getting a full camp, no shenanigans in the negotiations, and a truly neutral field to play his craft in.

I'd bet Ortiz is doing just fine

oh yea that fight is going to sell like hotcakes.

and it doesn matter because wilders guarantee will probably be 10-15 million so they will never be able to get enough points towards ppv back end. you think wilder is going to take a 2 million guarantee and hope for ppv points? nope. he knows its going to bomb and wants al the money up front. smarter than he sounds and looks.

[rocktop]

There probably making a little more than 2 million...

Probably getting 2 dollars a buy which is normal unless your a superstar like mcgregor,mayweather,pac, canelo or aj than you get $3 or 4. So if the ppv does 230k-300k they would get a $400k-1mil increase in pay.

If i had to estimate i would say they will get around 2.5 mil and if they get part of the gate than 3 mil. If ppv does great like 300k or more than 3.5-4mil with gate.

[Nomadic]

This explains why everyone is chasing the Pac Fight.

[Boxing Hero]

So it makes sense why Crawford is with Top Rank and why Canelo is with Golden Boy. These guys actually pay thier top guys big money.

[vitali1999]

Only 2 million each. Still more than I will make in my lifetime.
