Khan - Kotelnik does only 30,000 buys PPV

[Poncey]

If you've no answer, or prefer not to say, stop throwing shite elsewhere.

It's being monitored

[mickey1975]

i wonder where haye's career would be if he had a promoter to take care of him

FWank Warren Proudly presents the new IBO, WBU, IBA, WBF HeavyWeight Champion of the world David D Haye, THATS WHERE.

He would have had to beat Wlad for that one, so not to bad I suppose

millionaire?

[Coco]

FW already made Haye a millionaire in the Macca fight, that purse far exceeded his career earnings

[mickey1975]

he got well paid,but i bet he never cleared a million.

[whatashambles]

As far as Khan's next opponent goes, I heard Freddie Roach saying in an interview yesterday he's trying to get Salita for the Pacquiao/Cotto undercard.

He says the big PPV undercards aren't value for money these days and Khan is on record as saying he wants to fight in the States so...

Also talk of getting Edwin Valero on that undercard so I'm not sure whether there would be enough for both fights. Have to wait and see but I don't think it would be good for Roach to be doing two fights back to back.

I dont understand. Didnt Amir Khan fill out MEN for Barrera fight. One fight later and its sparse. whats going on?

What kind of numbers did teh barrera fight do?

I'd hazard a guess the reason the MEN was full for Barrera was Barrera!!! A chance to see a legend in the UK... Not Khan... As for the ppv numbers its not surprising.. its taken a recession for people to say enough is enough with the P*ss taking regarding Sky putting on PPV domestic boxing shows.... Why pay £14.95 for dross when a week earlier UFC gave everyone their biggest show ever for free!!!! Terrible PR!!!!

Are they not different sports?

[overhand_right]

Yes, very different sports - UFC give their customers the best versus the best and for free, boxing & Sports Network give the customer carefully selected hand picked opponents who can't win and want £15 for it.

No wonder boxing continues to take a massive nose dive, the big promoter running it in the UK appears to be burying it with sheer greed.

[carrotcruncher]

UFC spend their money on pr and packaging, paying their supposed stars peanuts.
Plus it's boring

Boxing is serving up too much rubbish and has been for years!

Mickey,
I'll bet you he did !
He hit the jackpot - 7 figures.

I think twenty six is right here, it was a seven figure purse. Sports Network (RIP) were convinced Haye was dead at the weight.

[mickey1975]

i did say cleared a million.a big differnce.i would be amazed if he came out with that with no site fee,ppv,etc

[twenty six]

That's just a play on words, Mickey.
A purse is a purse.
That exceeded 7 figures, so if you want a full accountancy report, then ok with deductions etc it may have been just shy of 7 figures.
However, you must then factor in where that victory led to, and his earnings thereafter.
Wazza launched Haye into the big time and wasn't even his Promotor !
Love it.

I love it too, but what I love most of all was that Haye tricked the Warren camp into thinking he was weight drained - the only reason why they took the Maccarinelli fight. Then Haye talking trash on Warren was classic - "I'd hate to have to be a charity for Warren" "I'm never doing business with him again" etc.

[yiddo14]

Haye didn't need to clear a million in the Macca fight to become a Millionaire I wouldn't have thought.

Do we think he had accumulated the grand total of zilch from all his fights before that?

Take away the Macca fight and Haye would still be a wealthy fella.

Or, in the case of Tim Witherspoon v Frank Bruno, about 9%.

Calling Boxingchat!!!!!

I note you always find time to come on here to dish out the insults with me - could you also find a few more seconds to answer the questions concerning the attendance at the MEN when Khan fought Kotlenik and the claim that PPV was an extremely low 30,000 or so?

Come on boxingchat - without the insults - Twentysix has asked the questions perfectly politley yet you fail to answer - but i note you are always ready to trade the insults?

i know when i saw him in huddersfield the live gate would barely have covered his expense,so if he was a wealthy man before the macca fight,god knows who was generated it.

Yiddo,
The Macca fight was the making of Haye - his earnings before that were modest.
Mickey,
Over the years I've go to know the ins and outs of fighter's wages.
I can tell you Haye made a fortune out of the Macca fight - even net of Board Tax, Training Expenses, Management Fees Trainers Fees, Income Tax - the lot.
