Bare knuckle is perfect for him. All these 40-something MMA dudes cashing checks, why shouldn't the champ go clean them up?

How much are the bare knuckle boxers making? Must be a pretty penny if they lured Paulie in.

Not sure but there are more and more boxers jumping in.

Ishe Smith is 1-0 for Ken Shamrock's Valor Bare Knuckle, but that promotion canceled their second event so he's stuck in limbo.

Olympic Bronze Medalist and 7-0-0-0 pro Nico Hernandez makes his BKFC debut next month

Dat Nguyen is now 2-0-0-0 in BKFC after only getting 5 gloved boxing fights since 2009

Ulysses Diaz (12-1-0-0 in boxing, 1-0-0-0 in MMA) won his BKFC debut last night by KO

Tyler Goodjohn (13-5-0-0 British level fighter) is undefeated in the British promotion BKB

Besides Fres Oquendo idk that there has been any boxer teasing fighting without having a fight longer than Briggs.

I think it might actually happen this time because I feel like there could be actual money in matching a boxing champ vs a UFC champ.

I wanna see a younger ex pro boxer fight. Not guys close to 50.

But i like Shannon. Lets Go Champ

With Nico jumping into it I'm assuming at his level it's a solid 5 digit number & more than he's making boxing as a lil guy in the US.

With the severity of the cuts I think it could be a costly mistake for him despite the $$$ upside. Hopefully he doesn't take much damage in these fights.

I think it's a nice lil extender of the back end of ones career for older guys or journeyman. Prospects & younger guys with potential it seems a bigger risk even if the paycheck might be sexier in the short term. Ultimately boxing has a much bigger upside so risking bad cuts that could end your career or build up scar tissue that could be problematic in the future seems -EV.
