The Pay For Bigtime Sparring Partners?

[The Old LefHook]

How much is a big time fighter like Tua paid to spar with Holyfied to help prepare him for Tyson, for instance? Is it good pay or quite mediocre?

I would think it's all relevant to your time and stature, and the stature of the fighter who's corner you're in. I know who Vinny Paz's chief sparring partner was in the early 90's. I sparred with him at least once a week. I doubt he was making more than $300, $400 dollars for his time. But guys sparring with the Likes of Whitaker, and DLH...I'm sure they were putting much more in the bank. Not that they were getting rich...but the higher you go on the food chain, the better the pay.

Lads, a sparring partner boxes a fighter in training.
