As I've mentioned there has to be a balance..too much in either direction is no good...this is why I ripped apart pbc the way I did which was the extreme in the other direction

As I've mentioned there has to be a balance..too much in either direction is no good...this is why I ripped apart pbc the way I did which was the extreme in the other direction
what is so extreme about PBC having a better business model than Top Rank and Main Event??
business is competitive...and in a free market ...big bank takes little bank
PBC made not only the fighters but the networks (cbs..espn...showtime..spike..nbc) an offer they couldn't refuse
Haymon didn't sit thier with his hands out like most promoters asking the Networks to buy the television rights to it's fights'...
nah Haymon put up his own money buy purchasing air time on the various networks seeking only exposure and ad revenue on the back end..
it's genius and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!
but why wouldn't it work?....after all Al Haymon is a Harvard Business School graduate amongst a bunch of sleazeball ringmaster promoters
AND NOW YOU HAVE BOXING being promoted like it's never been before since the glory days of the 80's...
so what's good for PBC is good for boxing and Arum and a host of others except the racist azz Golden Boy and hating jealous Duva have finally accepted that ..........

Bro did you even watch the vid!?!?!
The thread is proof that you don't need to know boxing to post shyt in a boxing thread
Its really easy to understand - the Kovalev vs Ward 1 fight as a whole was worth "X'
Team Kovalev got the lion share (60%) of "X"
Kovalev himself got 75% of his Teams lion share.
Ward on the other hand negotiated with ROC NATION to get guarantees for his fights. ROC NATION, either desperate to sign someone of his stature or very optimistic about Wards revenue drawing abilities, guaranteed him certain guarantees for each fight in his contract. The problem is, they foolishly guaranteed him more than the event is worth. So contractually they have to pay him what they promised. But since they promised him more than the what the ROC NATION side made in their 40% of "X", they lost money.
And the same thing happened in the rematch. ROC NATION had to pay Ward what they promised, and what they promised him is more than what Ward vs Kovalev 2 was worth. So once again ROC NATION lost money.
Kovalev getting a 75% take of all profits/revenue isn't an unusual deal in boxing.
Ward getting significantly overpaid based on what the event is worth is whats unusual here. ROC NATION doesn't have the experience as a boxing promoter yet to recognize the err in their ways. But now they do since they see they lost money on both Kovalev-Ward fights.

You put up a lot of words but didn't answer my question. And your ad hominem attacks revealed you don't know shyt about boxing. Thank you for proving my point. Now you can go and "sell your properties" and leave the boxing commentary to people who know what theyre talking about.

Don't you love it how all these pocket watching nikkas just KNOW Al Haymon or Rocnation are losing money. The suited up Rocnation cac was talking about the promotion for this fight focusing on bringing in sponsors into the boxing world that didn't really fukk w boxing like Monster etc. Maybe that's why they can afford to pay him what they paying him.
