    anyone got any idea how much journey men get paid and domestic title fight or does it really matter who the fighter is

    Is it really as low as £20? I would have thought journeyman would want a bit more to be a punchbag.

    Who was that guy that retired last year??? peter somehting. He was one of the top 10 earners in british boxing each year due to the amount of fights he had.

    your looking at £500-1k for an average fight and £2.5-£5k if your fighting someone high profile. this is for British guys, eastern europeans and africans get less.

    Peter Buckley, he also did well because he was prepared to come in a late notice.

    from what i've heard you get £500 if your a journeyman then it builds up if your a prospect and a challenger or champion.

    Yep, the guys that come in and "save the show" at the last minute do very well.
