    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.

    Coming from a Dawson KO Im sure he can get the traction. I think Ward would accept the rematch in a heartbeat though. But first things first, lets enjoy this coming fight

    Froch has never beaten anyone in that bute fashion so there could be some truth there.

    Then again, when someone beats you like that it can change a fighter for the worst.

    Hate to say it, but I think I want Kessler to win tonight. He just comes across as the nicer guy, the better professional and (as far as I know) his missus isn't going to be making a good impression of a drunk person with a megaphone at ringside.

    That is her sex noise, now leave her alone.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    This is the fight I've been waiting for. I don't know who's going to win. All I know it's going to be a war.

    I think people are hyping this fight too much. Can't see it being as good as the 1st

    Both guys have pop. Both guys have heart. Both guys have skill. Both guys will trade. Typically, those are the ingredients for a good turn up. Me personally, I'm very excited about it.

    Kessler is getting more than Froch for the fight tonight. Kessler was offered 50-50 and turned it down. The fight was basically off until eventually they paid him enough to come over. Ward already beat Froch and is the top guy in the division. The standard split for a champion fighting abroad with at least one governing body is 75% of the purse to the champion. Ward will start negotiations asking for 75-80% and will probably get 60.
