    HBO commentator salaries?

    Anybody know how much these guys make? Im sure the "main ones" like Lampley, Merchant, Kellerman, and Steward make the most. . . Are they paid on salary? Or on a "per fight" basis?\

    Link would be appreciated, but feel free to speculate as well....

      Don't know how you could possibly know this unless you have access to their contracts or coming right out of the mouths of the commentators themselves. They're being paid very well though.

          That's what I think - I think that Merchant and Lampley have the equivalent of "tenure" - and they get paid on a yearly salary - probably around 200-300k.

          Then I think Steward and Kellerman are on salary, but still "earning their stripes" - they probably get a base salary of around 100k.

          Kellerman probably gets a few extra ten G's for his "face-off" segments.

          Bob Papa and Roy Jones are paid on a "per show basis" - they usually do about 5-6 BAD's a year - around 15k a pop. . .

                    good question mate! That's something else I'm curious about - how much do referee's and judges get paid? Obviously the bigger the fight, the bigger named referee, and hence, the bigger the payday. . .

                    If I had to make a GUESS - just off the top of my head - I'd say Cortez gets paid about 7-11k for the HBO BAD shows; about 12-20k for the bigger HBO World Championship Boxing shows; and about 25-35k for the HBO PPV fights. Also Im sure he gets all travel/food/hotel paid for a for a few days leading up to the fight, and the night after the fight. . . Not a bad deal - get to live and eat like a KING for a few days on the house!
