That's pretty much a normal high paying job, rather than pro athlete money that a Olympic Gold medalist with 300+ amateur fights, pro undefeated title holder should get. That's what I could get. $100k is what a NYPD officer gets with overtime. Good for a normal family with a normal job, not for a guy with Rigondeaux's credentials who gets punched and punches for a living and is on TV. Those are terrible contracts. I mean I would take them in a heartbeat, cause i'm me. But I understand Rigondeaux not taking them after doing the math.
$900K per year, net for a 122 pound fighter is very respectable.

That leaves the question, is it his choice to stay with Caribe, or did he signed a contract with them that doesn't allow him to get out of the contract? You have to think, the guy wants to get out of Caribe, they do absolutely nothing, at all. They are like an invisible promotional company. They're imaginary. So it would be interesting to hear Rigondeaux's current take on Caribe, if he wants to leave, cant leave, or what is it.

Any amount of millions is way more money than he's made since top rank let him go.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostWhat you have to do as a fighter to prepare for fights and stay in shape, and the risk you take with every punch landed, it's difficult to think that you are earning $1.8million dollars, but will only see around $200k of that per fight, if you are lucky. That has to be discouraging. It's wrong, justice has to be served to these thieves in Caribe. They have to be doing something that doesn't allow Rigo to leave.
How did millions turn into 200k?

But you know in NSB, if a fighter gets $1.8 million, he gets $1.8 million.

But declining the best offer your going to get sure as heck isn't going to Make things better.
It's not like Rigo is young, he says 30 but he's most people in the biz think he's easily 40+. He better get what he can while he can.
