Purses for tonight's fighthers.

[KO'er]

I woulda though a top 5 P4P fighter would be making much more.

Good for Donaire. Why is Rigo getting paid that much in his 12th fight!? That's truly disgusting. Earn your stripes little man.

zou shiming or how ever you spell it got 300k, and hell prob get 500k for his next fight lol

[Joey_Torreo]

I feel facing a dangerous puncher like Donaire warrants some type of big purse. He's also a champion and ranked #2 in the division, so I think it's fair amount to get paid.

Exactly. It's kinda the reason why people go after the bigger names, to get paid the big bucks. Anyway cong**** to rigo for that big payday

Per Dan Rafael tweet. Nice to see the little dudes getting paid!

Purses for tonight's big fight in New York as per the NY commission: Donaire $1.32 million, Rigondeaux $750,000. #boxing #DonaireRigondeaux

how much is 750,000 convert to rocks and sticks so he can go back to cuba and reunite with his family and help them out like a real man.

Compare it to Naseem Hamed making 4 million pounds a decade ago.

[elgranluchadore]

That's probably what he'll end up with anyway.

Donaire ends up with less than 1 million.

Sanctioning fees, managers share, promoters cut, federal tax, coach+corners cut.

Promoters cut alone: 27%. Floyd Mayweather Jr gives up roughly 26% of his purse to Al Haymon, I did the calculation for his Ortiz purse from the official NSAC documents. Floyd earned $24,671,750 and gave up $6,600,000 in managers share, which resulted in $18,071,750, if you calculate that, it's roughly 26%. Arum takes about the same from his fighters' purses. 27%.

1,320,000 * 27% = $356,400 = $963,600
750,000 * 27% = $202,500 = $547,500

That is just promoters cut. Now managers Cameron Dunkin and Gary Hyde want their cut too. I could be wrong but the manager gets a 10% cut, which would be a total of 37% of their purse already gone. Add in taxes, sanctioning fees and corner, and what Juan Manuel Marquez said about him actually taking home less than 50% of his last purse because of federal taxes and all. ****.

On the bright side, 6 digits for one night, sign me up.

not one night, boxing train and work for months, they perform one night

[smifnwessun]

I would kill anyone of you for that kind of money

Exactly. I hate it when people ignorant to the sport act as if it's just a few minutes of work.
