"The BLS indicates that individuals in the 10th percentile in the "Umpires, Referees and Other Sports Officials" category made $16,310 per year as of May 2010. In the 90th percentile, pay was $50,350 annually. However, because boxing judges' salaries depend on the fight purse and the number of fights refereed, some top professional boxing judges easily can exceed $100,000 per year if they judge consistently through the year for major fights and organizations. Each fight may garner $150 to $25,000 for a judge as of 2011, according to the Maxizip website."

My guess would be that just like in local fairs/pageants etc throughout history you'd have VIPs as judges of some kind. This back in the day would have been the lawyer or doctor or things along those lines. That's my balderdash answer.
