    $1400
    THREE nights accomadation (2 before, and the night of the fight)
    Paid flight
    Taxi fare (Not driving on the night of the fight)
    Medical expenses are on site, you already said that
    10 tickets (Close friends and family)
    No tiny title on the line? If yes then the 2.5% fee which is supposed to come out of my fight purse comes out of your pocket.

    Take it or leave it. :bart

    Nope, I gave you a take it leave it offer. Non negotiable. Air fare is a reasonable request when I'd have to take responsiblity for flying my team out too.

    Good day :hi:

    air fare is quite excessive. I'll throw in $250 travel expenses, you can bring your team in a van like everybody else. It's only a 4 hour drive. Amatuers drive the country fighting for trophies. cartainly you could handle a 4 hour drive fighting for cash.

    $1650 for the fight, total.

    no. all travel expenses should be covered. hotel stay for the night before the weigh in...the day of the weigh in...and the night of the fight should be covered. they should also give u per diem for the days u are traveling/staying there. the $1200 for 6 rounds sounds light as well. u can get that kind of money for a 4 round fight in cali. i'd ask for more depending on who the opponent is. if u know it's a tough fight...don't be afraid to ask for more. the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

    this.

    i mean, travel alone is going to cost you 300-400 dollars. . and only one night hotel stay?


    this deal sounds more than reasonable. . and also in case of emergency, my hospital bills are paid for. . .

    fine, I'll pay for travel but I'm not flying you in. you will arrive the day of the fight, weigh in and the room will be yours until noon the following morning. you will also recieve meals compted. $1200 is the most that I will pay, I'm taking care of you very well here.

    Will you sign now?

    :lol: I wish. . .


    I like this thread, though! Fun to negotiate! Jus to clear things up, I am a fighter out of Michigan, right? So the travel to Montreal would be about a 8-9 hour drive?

    So, I saw your 250 dollar offer. . I would counter with a 600 dollar demand - for van rental (about 100 dollars), for travel there, and back (300 dollars), and finally, for food/travel expenses WHILE WE'RE THERE (200 dollars). . ANd that is pushing it even. . 200 bucks to feed a team of guys. . .

    I would also want THREE NIGHTS at hotel, and even that's pushing it. .. The day before the weigh-in, the day before the fight, and the night after the fight. . . I wouldn't want to leave until the following morning. Most of hte time, fighters get to the "fight town" a week in advance.

    I would then want to have free access to a gym for my two days before hte fight - for final preparations. . .

    Finally, although medical expenses are on site, I would want emergency insurance coverage, JUST IN CASE, my injuries demanded I had to be rushed to the hospital, and stay there overnight.

    And, of course, I would want 10 free tickets for me, my team, and a few close friends/family to enjoy the entire fight card. . BTW, WHO IS THE "MAIN EVENT" FIGHTER?! Hopefully Lucian Bute!

    its only 4 hours if you drive very fast.

    I'll pay you $1600 for the fight and I will accomodate you for two days with meals compted. you don't need a gym to loosen up and shadowbox, you'll have no need for sparring or a heavybag the day before a fight. just shadowbox in the parking lot of the hotel.

    I have an insurance policy already written and excepted by the state commision. if you want extra insurance you'll have to pay for it yourself.

    10 tickets is no problem.
