Does anyone know how much these fighters are making tonight? I want to have an idea of the type of purses FNF fighters are making.

Espn license fee is like 25k tops per show, I think these days. For really special fights they might pony up more $, but it's rare.

Raheem and this other dude are making pretty short $, maybe a few thiusand each. it's possible if they have a sponsor, or a special deal with there promoter, they get some more $.

Some of the high end prospects will get deals where they get nice paychecks per fight no matter how small the show. But these two aren't getting anything like that.

With these payouts, you gotta wonder just how tough the boxers were during the Great Depression.

Man, I was watching a fight with Jack Dempsey and a dude got knocked down like 6 times. Clearly hurt every single time, but the ref was just like, go ahead get up
