The contract said $7m in the rematch. I need to be a diva.

Yes he did, before the first fight. Andy has no say here. I wouldn't be shocked if he dropped the straps and retired. Past that he's fighting Joshua wherever they tell him to

Making demands isn't calling shot. He'll be calling the shots if he can order them around and get them to agree to what he wants

Which he was more the happy to sign.

He’d end up tied up in a legal mess for years and stripped of his belts if he doesn’t sign.

Press Conference is Monday as well.

His biggest purse was $700,000 before the 1st fight - he got about 5m and 7m region the rematch - which doesn’t look a lot now with AJ getting 50m+ but he signed knowing what he was guaranteed.

Who said wives and gf’s can’t attend??
And i’m betting there will be alcohol available, most of them are just under covers..
There won’t be alcohol - they wont even let alcohol transit the country on Saudi Airlines even if it’s being on-forwarded.
Sounds like a real blast! Cant imagine many queuing up to fly out for this one?

The crowd is likely going to be full of men wearing thawbs. Should be quite an unusual sight for a PPV event like this.

I think TFKoB may be too stoned at the moment to remember what he signed prior to the first fight.

Exactly, the rematch terms were covered in the rematch clause. Bob arum gave him away, it's not like he was sought after. Beat him again and then you can call the shots until wilder decapitates him or fury shuts him out.

He’s probably getting 30m

He’s probably getting 30m
Uk PPV
Dazn
Worldwide TV
Sponsorship (Middle East on top)
$40m fee for hosting

Either way he’s getting a lot of money to give up 75,000 tickets and Likely higher UK PPV sales.
