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

[Gino Ros]

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!

Tommy Z is "a name".

This is why you see guys doing anything to get their name out there. This is why everyone from 130 to 160 calls out Floyd and Pac. Instant headline.

He's from a school that you either love or hate + he's of Polish descent (Look at the following Adamek has)='s why he's paid that well.

And the MMA/UFC haters have the nerve to blast Dana for underpaying his fighters. Truth is, only maybe 3% of boxers make multi million dollar purses.

yeah I know, I am a Tommy Z fan, I basically watched the dude go from High School to getting recruited and signing his Letter Of Intent to Notre Dame and then getting drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, so I been a fan for a long time

that is not a knock on him, but I am sure full time fighters look at that and probably gets PISSED!

What I do like about UFC/MMA is that they pay win bonuses, and they RARELY (if ever) have consolation fights.

For example, Devon got about $1.1 million to fight Bradley. And he was guaranteed a consolation fight on HBO for $1.1 million if he lost.

Where was the incentive to gut through and win?

UFC guys often feel like they are fighting for their careers. Dana has a quick trigger.

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.

[SCtrojansbaby]

Don't feel that bad. Most of the guys with legit talent will breakthrough and get a good pay day if they phuk it up like Peter Manfredo its their fault

Why are you on a boxing forum then, turd?

0.0% of MMA fighters make million dollar paydays.

The list is filled with B level fighters except donaire who is a 118 pound fighter and they never bring in the big bucks.

Even a washed up 30+ year old cotto made 1 mill, almost no MMA fighter can do that even the best hardly make 150k.

Go look up a klitschko payday lmao ufc *****
