$140k

Seems like chump change considering he is American he did fight regardless of age a huge name of the sport.

That's a lot. Nobody knows smith and bhop isn't exactly a 50 yr old cash cow

[1mb11]

Of course he goin back 2 work - I think he only make like 200k TOTAL to fight 2 of the top guys in the world. Pay corner and managers and taxes and nothing left.

How much tax he would have pay to Uncle Sam?

Usually, but not always, after taxes, trainer, etc, a fighter ends up with half the gross.
