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.Comment
