Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The fighter is on 80% of those major Matchroom PPV shows. Every penny spent relating to them (undercard, etc) comes out of their pot.

No disrespect Máté, but you talk some horseshit when you try to swerve the question. Just fucking answer it mate.
@Fenster even gave you a bit of help with the answer.
Primo, what is wrong with you? I am saying there is no need for ppv format. It happens in US and UK for boxing fans but not in Germany where Wlad is more popular than AJ will ever be.

Mate, I detest some of these ridiculous PPV's as much as you do. I also feel that Joe Public is getting rinsed in the UK .
But you have to be realistic and accept that the reason there are more PPV's is because of the demand of the fighters. Yes , promoters and TV Stations are making money, but that's what they're there to do.
And you turn around and say "fighters are earning but they'll be retired soon , but the promoters and TV Leeches will still be taking the money."
Well , you could actually turn that around and say "The fighters are taking the money out of the sport and will ride off into the sunset, but the promoters and TV will carry on investing in the sport and putting money back into it."
Hey, the top fighters know their market value and best of luck to them. But you can't deny the Promoters and TV the money they make because they're stumping up the dough and taking the risks!
Bit of perspective needed bud.

Actually that is a bit oversimplifying things. Fighters sell their own tickets and are taking that risk all career by trying to balance sponsorship, often a day job and then ability to attract fans that will pay them for tickets. As they become more successful and prove themselves as having the pulling power, promoters will start to shoulder more of that risk and start selling and promoting more on behalf of the fighter. Most fighters do not make it to the level where they do not have to worry about personally shifting tickets. Big Promotional companies and Television Corporations can absorb that risk because they are set up to do just that promote. They do not have to embrace the risks the fighters do and have both a stable of fighters and a whole card to offset that. They win all ways. Fighters are there to make money. That is why it is called prizefighting. The fighters then often go on and to train and mange other fighters or at the very least inspire grass roots boxing which fills the gyms and grows the talent pool from which promoters cherry pick. So no, actually there is no way to argue that the boxers themselves are taking the money out of the sport. They are the sport. They employ everyone from trainers to managers and enable promoters, not the other way around.
