How da ****k these assssholes making money from ranking you, wtf this is ******ed, boxers need to stand up against thiefs, no wonder WBC make there fake Huichol belt and diamond belts for every ****in fight

To be fair other athlete's pay a fee for their championship rings. Olympians pay for their medals also.

They do? I didn't Know that.

And this gentleman is why there hasn't been any undisputed champion in a long time

If Indongo is earnestly getting $1m on the fight, between the likely purse to go to Scotland for Ricky Burns and this fight, he's likely secured his future in Namibia.

Even if you count what Hearn got, what his trainer got, what his manager got, taxes in Namibia (likely offset by whatever taxes get withheld in the UK), camp expenses, etc, Indongo is likely walking away with $400k off of that $1m. N$5.4m.

N$2.5m to buy a big house in his home city, N$1m to buy the equivalent of 3 brand new and fully-loaded Volkswagen Golfs, and still have another N$2m in the bank to live on.

Chasing the dream.

I'm pretty sure Olympians get paid for there medals, could be wrong, but in aus I'm pretty sure they get 10k for every gold medal

The Olympians have to pay taxes on each medal. So, the more successful you are the more money you're out of !!

[TheUptownKid]

Title fights also pay more

[GetSlappedSilly]

This is a joke. These alphabet organizations are like blood sucking leeches. Its a huge disincentive to fighters trying to make history by unifying titles and becoming undisputed champions. I feel worse for Indongo cuz this is his first big $ fight and he has to pay $100K in sanctioning fees and thats BEFORE taxes plus what he has to pay his team after the fight win or lose smh.

That is just wrong, totally unacceptable. This is why boxers at a certain level shouldn't give a toss about the belts. So the sactioning bodies here would make almost a quarter of a million from these two boxers! That's ridiculous.

These crooked son bytches robbing fighters SMH

Boxing - where you have to pay to be a world champion.

Everyone pays, its just boxers pay after getting their purse.

Wimbledon tennis players get their prize money after all the organisational costs have already been taken
