Arum also said Al Haymon was blocking the fight, since yall believe everything Bob Arum says now?
Far as it being a bad business model, it's the model every major promotional outfit uses for their big fights so obviously it's been working out well enough for it to be the standard for the last 10-15 yrs
Are you saying Spence can't sell enough between gate and a likely high ass $80+ PPV to cover a guarantee in the biggest fight of his career but he could do that against Ugas? Make it make sense.
Even if that shyt flops and does 250k buys it's enough to cover a low 8 figure guarantee (split between both guys)
