How do fighters get paid?

[QQQQQQQ]

Dont understand how these kinda things work. Anyone know?

Sometimes i wonder how fighters like Andre Berto have made so much fighting in small ass venues.

Im assuming most $$ fighters make comes from TV ?

Who gets what out of the live gate $$?

Can anyone break down this process. Thanks in advance

This is a very broad question that has multiple answers. Fighters contracts can be very specific and drastically different. All fighters do not have the same contract and some fighters are their own promoters.

Decent guide here bro - http://theboxingtribune.com/2010/09/...ing-economics/

Relevant excerpt to your question about live gates:

Boxing has come down to promoters pitching fight ideas to TV execs and the fans are a mere afterthought, both logistically and economically.

How else would you explain fighters’ purses often exceeding ten times the amount of the live gate? The fans are simply not paying the bills anymore.

HBO’s most recent televised bout featured Yuriorkis Gamboa against Orlando Salido on September 11th. The paid attendance was just slightly over a thousand and the money from the live gate totaled $133,650. Unfortunately, Gamboa, alone, made $350,000 for the night’s work.

The thousand or so fans who bothered to pay their way into the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas were not even necessary. They were mere props to make the TV show look better, but HBO was paying the bills and the promoters will always cater to those with the easiest pocket to pick.
