Comments Thread For: Kambosos-Selby Purse Bid Hearing Won By Matchroom Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A lightweight title eliminator between George Kambosos Jr. and Lee Selby now comes under new terms. Nearly seven months after previously agreeing to terms that would have him traveling to the United Kingdom, Selby and his team remain in control of the ordered fight after his side was able to secure the rights to the fight. A purse bid hearing held via video conference call by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) was won by Matchroom Boxing with a winning submission of $277,777, during Tuesday's session. The amount edged out the $260,000 submission offered by promoter Lou DiBella.

So the purse-bid benefited Killa-Kam, as Kombosos was initially offered a $150,000 fight purse by Matchroom/Hearn ( prior to COVID ) ; which latter was reduced to a $100,000.

$166,667.20 wouldn't get Ryan Garcia out of bed tho.

I don't understand how Hearn can throw away millions on garbage fights like Jacobs vs Chavez Jr. then try to force Kambosos take a significant pay cut when he was only making $150k.
