for his fight with vivian harris????

i read on here he only got £65k for his 1st defence

sounds about right

if he aint selling many tickets and isnt a big draw for TV - where is the money supposed to come from

Turned down £135k for M'Baye alledgedly

No doubt Fwank wanted options on him.

I'm sure, Mbaiye is a much easier fight than Harris

Does anyone know what the winning bid for Witter-Harris was?

Did not go to bids,mate.


Hennessey came to an agreement with Shaw bewfiore it went to bids, no idea how much though, I hope at least £150k for Witter, hopefully, but not likely.

Maybe £100k?

Good question, though.

Unlerss you are #1 and the mandatory, options are the industry standard, fact.

65K, is that all? before or after tax?

That cant be right surely... do sky, ads, sponsorhsip contribute to a fighters overall purse, or purely the gate?

So your admitting Witter would have to give options to fight Mbaiye - wouldn't this be betraying Henessey? You seemed very much against betrayal in the Hatton case. And I'm not so sure 'options' are the industry standard for unification fights. And if they are options what money was Witter been offered for future bouts?

danny Williams only got 125k for fighting tyson - that was before tax, trainers fee's, expenses etc... Didnt Spinks and / or Judah only collect something like 100 odd k (dollars) for their unification bout?

If you have enough clout as a promoter to cajole someone into signing them.

Think Judah got US$100k or was for their first fight while Spinks made 7 figures. It wasn't a unification fight though and Judah was the challenger each time.

At least Judah takes the small money for his shots. I'd like to see Judah take out Cotto, hes always fought the best and has so much talent.

thats probably bang on, I knew it was somehting daft, although i dont think Spinks got 7 figures, or did he?

I think so but not 100%, Spinks is a pretty big earner who can draw massive crowds in his home town. He had all the belts and all the cards at WW at that time

Spinks isn't a draw outside of his home town. Most fighters are the same in the states though, there aren't many who can draw flies to shit.
