Well I've already had a handful of concussions, so am at more risk.
I don't really know; If we are talking absolute minimum, I'd probably take medical bills + $5,000. I'd start the negotiation at a $1,000,000+ though. Obviously it's low, but if it's like the other concussions I've had, it's a nice chunk of change for fastforwarding time a day or so.
As for what would happen, it's not unthinkable that it could kill me.
Most likely though, it's obviously going to knock me out, then were talking broken facial bones where it lands, could break my nose, dislocated jaw, severe concussion, deep cuts are possible depending on where it lands, could put a hole in my lips. Less likely but still possible would be damage to vision up to disconnecting the optic nerve, a wide range of brain damage from vegetable to double vision. Going to have a headache for a while, neck is going to be sore, could injure whatever body part my unconscious body falls on or twists while falling. Could do inner ear damage too, I think.
The glove in this case is really only going to lower the superficial cuts, Foreman only had to wear 8 oz gloves, modern heavies use 10 or 12. I fought with 12s, and even those barely feel different than nothing at all.
