Canelo vs GGG CLEARLY does over 1 Mill buys, let's not fool ourselves. The general public got turned off by Floyd vs Manny, and even I said Canelo vs Cotto wasn't as big a mainstream fight as Canelo vs GGG will be. If and when they announce that fight I have no doubt the casuals will get on board because both guys KO people and are action fighters, exactly what casuals ALWAYS thrive for.

If he wants a ppv cut then I would expect a lower guarantee

Originally posted by el*** View PostIm all for him getting a cut, in fact it gives him incentive to help promote the fight, with a flat rate he doesnt have incentive. I think 15 million flat is very fair though, especially with ppv sales down, they are taking on additional risk to give him a higher flat rate. If this is the only thing that holds up the fight then I blame GGG.

Originally posted by RL_GMA View PostThe difference in what Manny and GGG make is irrelevant to the point. On top of that, GGG makes more than his guarantee ($2 Mill) with his endorsements ala Canelo who also only pockets a $5 mill guarantee before his own endorsements / International TV rights. Canelo vs GGG is potentially a $100 fight and Canelo will get the obvious bigger share but GGG will be given the smaller split and Oscar and team know that. All this is just posturing from Canelo.Last edited by Robbie Barrett; 02-09-2017, 10:09 AM.

Business of Boxing: How Does the Pay-Per-View Deal Work?
by Charles Jay
Where does the money go when a fan plunks down $49.95 to see a pay-per-view fight on television? Does it go directly to the fighters? Does it go into the hands of promoters? What role do the networks play? Maybe this piece will, in a basic sort of way, shine some light on it for you.
As the apparatus of pay-per-view has matured, it has evolved into a process that customarily works like this: the promoter will make a fight between two combatants, along with an undercard to support it. He approaches the pay-per-view distributor, like HBO PPV or Showtime PPV (or the new entrant, Epix) with that fight, and the distributor makes the decision as to whether to carry it or not. If the fight gets the green light, the distributor goes to work clearing the fight with the MSO’s (multiple system operators) who control virtually the entire cable universe. These include companies like Time Warner, Cablevision, Comcast. Cox and Charter.
The cable systems are in on the deal; that’s their price tag for carrying a certain amount of weight on the local and regional level. They are going to run commercials for the event, and sometimes the promotional materials can be provided by the promoter, although often the cable people will put together their own, because they may have certain special promotions they will do in association with the event.
The standard breakdown as far as money is concerned is a 10% fee off the top for the distributor, with 45% each for the cable system and the promoter. So when you see a price tag on a fight, you know that the promoter will get about 45% of that.
Let’s say a fight is priced at $49.95, which for the sake of simplicity we are going to round up to $50. If it’s HBO PPV that is being used, HBO is not a party that is at risk as far as the fight itself is concerned but will take the 10% fee off the top ($5). The promoter and the cable companies both wind up with $22.50 per “sub” (or subscriber).
If a fight sells a million pay-per-view subscribers, HBO’s pay-per-view arm will get $5 million and the promoters will pocket $22,500,000. If that level of revenue, along with the other revenue streams (live gate or casino site fee, merchandising, international rights, etc.) did not meet what the promoter guaranteed the fighters, well, let’s just say that would be an unfortunate occurrence.

Splits are decided based on what you bring to the table(4 titles) & your star power.. If you think its just how much you can draw then
