Was there ever talk of Kalule/Hagler?

Not that I know of.

But Marvin would never fight in Denmark.....

And Ayub wasn't leaving Denmark, unless it was for a 'Boat Load of Cash'.

How much did he get to go to Japan?

But there was also 'ancillary fees' for Broadcast Rights to Scandanavia, the African Continent, United Kingdom
and British-Commonwealth colonies.

So how much did he get from the TV rights?

I believe the 'Final Tally' with Fight Purse and Ancillary Fee's was $80,000.

That isn't what Gazo got; interesting.

The WBA was trying to institute a formula, where the Champion would receive 75% and the
Challenger 25% of the Total Fight Purse Bid, not including ancillary fee's.

I know, but I thought Kalule would demand more to go to Japan. I guess he just wanted the shot because he knew he'd win.

I've been trying not to say this for about a year, but I can't stand it any more.

Il Duce, you are one of the most knowledgeable and interesting posters on here, and very literate and erudite to boot. With all that in mind, what is with the random scattering of quotation marks in your posts? I've 'been' trying for ages and 'for the life' of me, I can't work 'out' any sort of pattern to them!

It doesn't really work for me, in that light (I'm a part time journalist, so I'm picky). Never mind though, I love to read your stuff, and if anything, the quotes 'add to the' entertainment.
