Hearn knew ahead of time DAZN’s move to cut Canelo’s pay by 50%. It was only months later that Smith and BJS acknowledged their cuts to 50% wanting around $5mil+.
They knew they wouldn’t see any Jacobs style purse ever again, and they knew even if a pandemic hadn’t happened, they wouldn’t get a Jacobs purse.
This is why they jumped on wanting $5mil.
The only way Smith or BJS get anything close to $5mil is if they unify when DAZN UK launches, but I’m thinking these two will only get $2.5mil each at most.
Their ticket sales won’t be priced high.. Smith and BJS, even though a good fight, isn’t high attendance demand.
