Comments Thread For: Chocolatito: I Won't Be Pressured To Face Cuadras For Low Pay!

RG is screwed then because HBO isn't into increasing pay for fighters now. It's either take what they give you or go on PPV.

$400,000 is a lot of money for a super flyweight.

Haymon paid victoria ortiz $750,000 for his last fight..... Roman needs to call haymon and make a deal.....

not for the #1 p4p.

Hmmm we might need some accountants in this thread.

His last fight sold 6.7k and had 843k viewers. It also did 2.3M viewers in Mexico.

Is $400,000 fair for those numbers? Anyone?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

So, the ticket prices were $300, $200, $100, $50 and $25 which averages out to $135 * 6.7k which then equals to a gate of $904,500. Assuming the 6.7k were all sold and no comps.

Now an NSB accountant needs to take over.

Can't imagine much more than $1m being available to stage this fight. And even that's a bit optimistic for flyweights. Hopefully they can find an extra 100-200k to satisfy him. Otherwise it's another PPV.

I've seen Roman talk about his pay a few times before.... he's simply a victim of weight class discrimination. In his mind he must be thinking i've earned my stripes as number 1 p4p, four weight champ 46-0 yet what i'm getting paid don't really reflect that. Those same accolades while fighting at 140/147 or higher and it's a whole different story.

It's been a successful but hard career, his face looked like a half-eaten hamburger after his last fight.

Seems unrealistic to expect significantly more for an immediate rematch than you got in the first fight just because a few websites have you at the top of a meaningless hypothetical list.

I wouldn't mind K2 putting Usyk as the main undercard instead vs someone good but if they're only spending 500K on the fight that's unlikely.

How does that average out to $135? Do you not think there were a lot more lower priced seats than expensive ones?
