    There are so many different components involved, therefore it makes it impossible to give an accurate figure or percentage. Take Pacquiao for example, the amount of tax he pays is completely different depending on where he fights, Vegas, Macau, Australia.
    He pays an increased fee as opposed to the standard fee to Roach, I’d assume he also pays significant fee’s to other team members like, Koncz, Fortune etc, that we cannot account for.
    There’s no plausible way anyone without significant inside information can make any reasonable prediction on what percentage a fighter takes from his purse
    Trainers get 10%, that is standard in Boxing.

    He pays 28% to Bob Arum because Top Rank is royally ripping him off. Nobody pays that much to a promoter. Maybe its a promoter/manager fee wrapped in one figure, no idea.

    Nobody knows what Roach gets, but I doubt he needs more than 10%.

      Whatever the actual percentage comes to, and we can all agree it’s not a hard-and-fast number, one thing is certain: a fighter doesn’t keep anything near the published purse. Fans and aspiring fighters should always bear that in mind. Whenever you read that Mike Tyson blew through 300 million dollars in earnings, remember that he saw less than half that — possibly a lot less than half. Still a tremendous amount of money, to be sure, but not nearly the same as 300 mill.

        That’s my point man we don’t truly know and probably never will

          It's a pisstake how much the fighter gets after %'s are taken. Seeing as fighter is the one in ring potentially taking life changing damage.

              1 million is 600k after tax.
              Manger/promoter take another 20-30% so now you have about 400k....
              trainer takes 10%...cutman takes 5%...
              Now you have about 340k...

              You still need to pay for travel,hotels,food, sparring partners and all other personal/camp expenses,
              That’s another 40k or so...

              You are left with about 300k or roughly 30% of the 1 million.

              Not 55%...not even close.


              that ***wit Reek just proved he aint a fighters a55hole

              you are full-of-**** Lou
