Pacquiao's fight night check will be for $6 million, although he is guaranteed $26 million by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, and can make even more depending on how well the pay-per-view sells. The reason for the disparity is because the $6 million will be available to Pacquiao immediately, while the remaining $20 million will be paid over an undisclosed number or days or weeks (that he and Arum agreed upon) as the revenue from the fight comes in. Bradley's purse will be a career-high $5 million and he, too, can make more depending on how well the pay-per-view sells. Purses for the rest of the fighters on the televised portion of the card: Jorge Arce will make $300,000, Jesus Rojas $25,000, Mike Jones $105,000, Randall Bailey $100,000, Guillermo Rigondeaux $103,000 and Teon Kennedy $70,000. The other fighters on the card: Mikael Zewski ($8,500), Ryan Grimaldo ($4,500), Ernie Sanchez (TBD; his contract wasn't filed yet), Wilton Hilario ($6,000), Andy Ruiz ($2,500), Tyler Larson ($1,200), Jesse Hart ($4,000) and Manuel Eastman ($1,200).
who gives a **** how much a boxer makes? you have no business dipping your fingers on their financials.
Cool thread. It's funny how many of my friends ask me "how much do these guys get paid?" when the undercards are on. Not a bad payday for any of them.
Floyd had a guarantee of $32million for Cotto, plus a large percentage of the PPV. Cotto also earned much more than Bradley will come away with. I can't imagine Manny will earn a great deal - if any at all - more than the $26million guarantee.
Arce making 3times more than the UFC heavyweight champion when he fights lol Jones, Bailey and Rigo all making slightly more and even Kennedy who's a lamb to the slaughter and an unknown is making as much as the very top UFC fighters make.....crazy ****
I'm really happy for the fighters on the undercards.. I don't think I've ever seen an undercard where everyone gets paid generously. I hope they all put on a performance.
