    Terrible, I hope Beltran gets a good payday for the Loma fight if he gets through this, he deserves it

    Wasn’t Beltran caught for taking peds in the past or am I mistaken?

    People cry about boxing purses, but people need to understand that these guys fight 2-3X a year.

    Ray is making $200,000. After taxes and paying his team and coaches, Ray is left with a cool $130,000—$135,000 (depending on how much he pays his staff) for 2 months worth of work.

    If Ray fights again in December, he will have made close to half a million dollars after taxes for the year. That's much more than 90% of CEO salaries.

    And you get what you draw. Belts don´t really matter.
    None of the guys on this card are a draw.

    And they all likely have sponsors as well, which makes the training camps a bit cheaper.

    True. I just checked. Average CEO salary is $163k and average lawyer pay is $118k.

    The great thing is that we live in a land of free enterprise and every keyboard promoter who wants to pay these guys more is free to put on a card and double their purses.

    He's not taking that much home. Let's say his camp expenses were 20k. He would make (200k-20k) ×0.6. That's 108k. That doesn't even take into account the promoter's cut, which would put him under 100k by a decent amount.
