Ward's last fight against Dawson earned him a $1.365 million purse.

If this PPV is really successful (I was wondering why they'd have this on Champions League final night but when they announced it was PPV the date may turn into a masterstroke) and does a million buys, once you take off VAT and Sky's share that'll leave about six million quid for the promotion. Add on the gate, foreign TV money and everything else and that's I'd guess eight to nine. Let's say the promoters' costs and profit is nearly three and the gross is nearly nine. That leaves six million quid, or nine million dollars for the fighters to split. Probably closer to four million dollars each. That's still nearly four times what Ward made for his last fight.

If Froch wins Ward can easily ask for a 60/40 split and will probably get it. Froch winning means he's the biggest payday for Ward and Hopkins by some distance.

If Froch wins Ward can ask for a 60% split but he aint gonna get it. Froch knows he is the draw and will more likely get 60% himself in my opinion. Ward doesnt exactly have guys lining up to fight him. Froch on the other hand does.

That's cuz he's pretty much embarrassed them all already

If I can't pick who I want to win or like, just root for the guy you dislike least. In this case, Froch - So Kessler to win but now probably won't :D

Simples - and booing just seals the deal for me

Did they turn down the volume for Kessler's music or what?

Kessler just doesn't look right

Impressed at almost no booing of Danish anthem.

Why do I feel like I'm watching the start of Mr. Bean :D Danish anthem is kinda nice!

I seen the Queen. Why save her?

Becuase it's so damn relaxing.

Plus it's spoken in a manner that we almost think we understand it :)

Reminded me a bit of a Christmas carol, different.

Who's idea was it to bring Buffer's stalling ass over
