Interesting - thanks for posting. It's crazy how the values vary so much. I wonder if they have some type of formula like age, record, demographics to determine purses or if they just use their opinion on market value / popularity?

ESPN likes to run a budget of about $50-&%K for Friday Night Fights. That is for the WHOLE CARD. There are a couple of exceptions, like when Zab Judah fought.

Arum's Latin Fury and Pinoy Power cards run about 50-100K PPV's. So, he likes to keep the total purses under $500K

damn there are some inequality issues in boxing lol

Now you see why Pawel Wolak held a job.

[DoktorSleepless]

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.

[sicko]

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 *** does that work?

[Double_L]

Miguel Cotto ($1,000,000) TKO-12 Ricardo Mayorga ($50,000)

Oh man if that's true, that's like a 95% to 5% purse split for Cotto. Lulz.

[King Ju-Ju]

dudes fighting for 1,200 is sad man.
