Usually it depends on the particular contract. When a
fight is made (at this level) - negotiations are had
about ppv gate share, overall share, tv network share, both
domestic and foreign. Each contract is unique.

Because yea - the fight likely did very good numbers
across Asia even if its draw was tepid in the U.S.

I actually think fans need to factor in global drawing power
versus just American drawing power, as boxing is as big -
and in some cases bigger - in foreign lands as it is here.
Example: Klitschkos do huge numbers across Europe, both
at gate and in viewer numerics, but do not draw here.

I'm sure he gets paid a very good amount from those numbers at this
point, as does Arum.
