IF YOU CARE.... Some Recent Fight Purses...

that's nothing compared to any card with al haymon fighter. I you mean that AHP fighters make more, then I agree with you. AH has that sweet deal with HBO.

How much dows a PPV Latin Fury or Pinoy Power cost ? I believe they are generally $29.95 or $34.95. I have bought a couple of Latin Furys. Never bought a Pinoy Power .

If you really think about it when you factor in the amount of time put in with the amount of money paid, it's not that bad. Even the best fighters in the world are training no more than 40 hours a week. You compare that to your average day laborer who puts in 50 hours for his 45,000 a year and it's not bad. Aside from the obvious health and pain concerns the job pays well overall. That's why journeyman fighters fight more often. Remember, this is the gross purse. A manager may take 30%. Trainer 10%. Cornermen may get a night's pay. Perhaps you have to cake off the sanctioning body. Then you may have exceeded camp allocation. Quite often, the promoter has fronted the boxer some money. ...and THEN taxes.

Anderson Silva is the best fighter on the planet. Name a fighter NEAR his weight who will beat him in a fight. Anderson Silva will take Roy Jones down and choke Roy out. Anderson right now is the best pound for pound in MMA, but it's between him and Fedor for the best in MMA history.

what should piss other boxers off is the fact that Tommy Zbikowski was paid ($50,000) and he is a Part Time Boxer Boxing Pay Scale SUCKS though! Trying to pay Trainers and others off of a $8,000 pay, how the fuk does that work? :no: That's the one that pissed me off the most. Not really talented. No one is talking about him. He doesn't even want to go far in boxing; Its just his side job. So you pay him 50k? **** Tommy Z.

And thats why i like the ufc. Top boxers get far to much thats why you got a lot of fighters ducking others.

Yeah because anderson silva clearly shoots and mounts. You fight the person who is opposite you. When you are the superior striker, you strike. When you are the superior grappler, you take him down to the ground.

In " A FIGHT", Anderson Silva would wipe his ass with your illiterate congressman. Stop yourself. Yeah because anderson silva clearly shoots and mounts.

pacman would destroy him in a boxing ring anderson silva called out jones jr with boxing rules he's an idiot- he has no actual boxing defense (you know- the sport where men throw real punches- not faggotry ass raping UFC bull****) In " A FIGHT", Anderson Silva would wipe his ass with your illiterate congressman. Stop yourself.

where do you guys get this info?

anderson silva is not the best fighter on the planet. even a shot RJJ would have ended his life, thankfully dana white didn't allow that fight to happen. anderson silva: 1-1-0 in pro boxing LOL Anderson Silva is the best fighter on the planet. Name a fighter NEAR his weight who will beat him in a fight. Anderson Silva will take Roy Jones down and choke Roy out.

is it about the money? really..? thats why pacquiao is number one hes got money, he dont need billions.. he loves doing what he does thats why everyone on here is failing in life because there doing something they dont wanna do Yeah, that's why your illiterate congressman signed with TWO promoters...right? because he doesn't care about money.

interesting espn needs to up the budget If they did, you wouldn't get it every week.

interesting espn needs to up the budget

is it about the money? really..? thats why pacquiao is number one hes got money, he dont need billions.. he loves doing what he does thats why everyone on here is failing in life because there doing something they dont wanna do The vast majority of people on the planet are stuck in a livelihood they don't like, or even hate, because they can't survive doing what they love. If you're one of the lucky few that makes a decent living doing what you love, good for you. The reality is very different for nearly everyone else. Manny started his career for the same reasons everyone else did, maybe more so. How many Pacquiaos or Mayweathers are there? Now that Manny has more money than he could ever spend, he sticks around for other reasons: legacy, fame, social import, etc. 99% of the fighters on earth will have to give up the sport they love because they can't support themselves, much less a family, on it. So, in the end...yes, it is about the money.

brock left cause of the lifestyle of the wwe wrestlers work most of the year and barely get any time off If the posted figures are anywhere near correct, Lesnar could do professional wrestling for a couple of years and get paid more than he ever would in a whole career in UFC. Maybe Brock's plan is to move over to wrestling once his UFC days are over. Who knows?

I remember hearing Mayorga only got paid 50k because he owed Don King some money. Hope those ESPN guys have day jobs. 1k for probably one month's training camp aint much. Interesting figures and why fighters should get educated about how every penny they earn gets distributed. They also have to contend with taxes. At that rate, they ought to have a great investment and retirement plan. When everything is taken into consideration, these poor guys (I mean that literally and figuratively) don't make squat off of boxing. They've gotta give a cut of that purse to their trainer, manager (if they have one), cut-man, the tax man, etc. If fans understood this better, many wouldn't complain so much about the moves fighters make to get better paydays. Unless a man has major talent, he's gotta be crazy in love with the sport, or just plain crazy to be a boxer.
