Hi Dan - you got me into boxing poster collection - I have an on-site from Ali/Frazier 1 as my prize, but my favorite fight of all time is Hopkins/Trinidad. What a masterpiece by Hopkins. If you'd ever consider selling that one, please reach out to me.
MarvNation making the Zepeda vs Prograis fight PPV on Nov 26th may seem reasonable as there's no competing fights (yet) on that date - however it's due to be only a week after the Crawford vs Spence PPV on Nov 19th which will probably cost fans quite a lot to watch and I don't think most fans will be prepared to spend money on another PPV the following Saturday. If this is the case then MarvNation could lose quite a bit of money.
Andrade has completely screwed himself. Nothing against the dude himself (probably a nice enough guy, i guess?), but he benefited greatly from the original DAZN cash cannon and was overpaid for years for fighting guys outside any realistic top-25 and weak manadatories, and it seems to have inflated his sense of leverage, as he's vastly overplayed his hand. He's a boring fighter with very few quality wins, and now he has nowhere to go. No big fights, no mandatory position, no promoter of note, and very few fans that will notice he's gone. What a mess he's made.
I'm still holding out hope for a Stephen Fulton v Akhmadaliev fight for undisputed at 122....do I need to get over it or is there even a small chance of this happening?

Mayweather just can’t get enough money huh?

You said the promoters are experienced operators. Likewise with broadcasters. They should have contract templates and checklists on hand.
I agree that dollar amounts should not be disclosed; however, the splits and rematch cause are fine.
Boxing needs free publicity. And social media are a key tool. Remember, without the fans, they would fight in pubs and clubs.
I saw no problem with TF media-bashing AJ. It was fodder for the fans and the media.
To me, the RF-AJ deal was simple if they all wanted it:
60/40 between TF and AJ parties. Simple.
It seems that there will be no TF-AJ fight.
Wilder has the power punch; and Joyce has the granite chin. There was no way AJ could have handled those smacks from Parker.
