Purses for Saturday: Canelo 1.5M, Lara 1M

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

So promoters will promote someone whos not signed to them for free out of the kindness in their hearts?

I guess GBP gave back all the fees Floyd paid them for his last 3 fights huh? You have no idea how promoters work

GBP gets their money from somewhere else. Not the fighters. They already told you this.

No wonder Mares wants to sign with Al he's getting paid 400k to fight. Meanwhile Russell Jr gets paid more than Mares while Mares has a way better resume smh.

Russell Jr. was paid more only because it went to a purse bid.

He only got that much because he had to split it with Loma

before that, Loma made more in his first fight than GR Jr did in his whole career

How much does a fighter earn after taxes, promoter, manager, sanctioning fees, coaches, training camp costs etc? How much of that $1m will Lara actually keep?

[Rip Chudd]

Probably be cuz true fans of the sport hate seeing great fighters taken advantage of and not have a pot to piss in at the end of the day? How many world champions are flat broke and/or punch drunk?

Yeah but what can you do about it aside from voice your displeasure with the amount that they are getting? Have you donated to any world champions that are flat broke?

Some of us do actually care about the fighters themselves. not just some rock em sock em robot that we toss away as soon as they are no longer of any use for our entertainment pleasure.

I care about the fighters but what they make is on them. I think it's nice to see when a fighter you care about gets a payday you feel they deserve due to the hard work they put in coupled with fighting the best out there, but that's one of the only reasons I see for it.

So knowing that these fighters are making this type of money is a good thing for the sport. It's also how you increase the talent pool. By making the sport more attractive to the physically gifted athletes. That means better fights for the future as well.

Just my 2 cents

This seems like it benefits other boxers moreso then the fans.

Geeez man. Here you go:

They got Promoter and Manager mixed up

The Promoter and Manager cannot be the same person

The Promoter gets around 30% which is industry standard, whatever the manager gets is on top of that

You dont know what you are talking about. By law, a promoter is not allowed to take a percentage of a fighters purse, with the exception of bouts where the promoter was the losing bidder in a purse bid.




And taxes are always calculated on the net, not the gross. The tax would be calculated last, after the manager and trainer have already been paid.......

I know it was because of a purse bid but still. I wanna thank Al Haymon sweepstakes they new the rules going into that purse bid going in.

He only got that much because he had to split it with Loma

before that, Loma made more in his first fight than GR Jr did in his whole career

Lol

[Beater_of_ass]

20% haymon before taxes
20% de cubas before taxes
don't forget 38% for the IRS
not to mention all his crew
hope lara has a good accountant

The reason fighters like Haymon is because he only takes 10%. I read it somewhere, I believe it was that Houser article but the guy doesn't take that much of a cut. Also, BigPoppaPump stated in the comment thread that when you make big money (I figure millions) the rate goes down even further; 1-2% he said for guys like May, Pac, Cotto.
