    Default Adamek vs McBride..... Is this a joke?

    This fight is ridiculous man. Where is Adameks ambition at all.... He fought Arreola 3 fights back, then fights Grant, Maddalone and now this. Why the hell is he now signed to fight Kevin McBride...... Is he trying to do things in reverse.

    Nah, it's more Main Event trying to keep him busy before one of his bout with the K, they don't want him to fall back in the rankings so they are taking big dudes to practice him with not too much risk. Beside, he'll clock another 1.5 millions staying busy before the situation with the K and Haye unravel.

    $1.5million stay busy fight? Dream on, he wont get much more than that against a Klit. Try $50,000. If he could make million+ purses fighting washed-up journeymen like McBride he'd never need go near a Klit. Fact.

    That's probably for fighting both of them. The Klits and Haye is the only way he makes million dollar paydays. He fought Arreola on HBO for a $100,000 just a few fights ago.

    Preparation is KEY......... I know he doesn't want to be going life and death with an opponent before Klitschko, but Kevin McBride is not good prep at all for a Klit.

    He'll make at least 500K, I might be exagerating with 1.5 but Adamek is the second biggest tockets seller behind Manny Pacquiao for the past year, at least that's what I've heard from an interview with Gary Shaw I believe. So yeah, somewhere between 500K and let's say 750K per fight is quite a reasonable guess for what he does at the moment.

    Quite reasonable but absolute fantasy (unless you can produce some figures of course?).

    Adamek got $100,000 against Arreola. Against Grant he was on some minor PPV channel where his money was determined by what he sold. Kathy Duva, his promoter, said he would "PROBABLY" make more than he did against Arreola (I've never seen any after fight figures), so we can safely assume it wasn't much more than $100,000 at the very best.

    His fight with Golota, the biggest in Polish history, had a 15,000 crowd and possible 10 million TV audience, yet his pay was supposedly $500,000 (according to gest12645). Which says it all, $500,000 for great numbers but no American interest/money.

    Golden Boy, when trying to make Hopkins-Adamek, said Adamek was worth no more than $500,000, and HBO wouldn't up their wedge to stop the fight falling through.

    He is a good ticket seller in New Jersey because of the Polish community. That's true. But cheap tickets doesn't equate to huge paydays. The big money comes from TV companies, which certainly do not pay huge sums for contests against journeymen/veterans, who he has currently been fighting.

    This is a reasonable warm up fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I know that TV deals and PPV are the most significant money income but still, I would very surprise that a guy who can fill 16-17K at the Providence Center every fight he does can only cash 100K per fight, that sounds a bit low to me, even if it might be true. As for his fight with Golota in Poland, I am very shocked if he only made 500K, not that 500K is bad but for a HW fighting the fight of the "century" in a 40 millions people.... I will try to make some researches as the whole thing makes me very curious, haven't found any credible source as for the numbers and at the moment, if what you say is true, it's much lower than what I thought.

    would you rather him sit out until his title fight in Sept, and end up fighting once a year like some cowardly english fighter we all know.
