50 grand sounds generous. I don't think a Brit champ gets anywhere near that on average.

 

£50k sounds more like a Euro title defence.

DeGale gets paid what he does based on all the exposure he has received since winning the gold medal at the Olympics.

 

my mate got £30 for an exhibition in Fraserburgh

 

I got a free meal in the Sgt's mess :deal

 

Way too much...being allowed in there should have been reward enough:deal

 

he had to suck him off so its swings and roundabouts:good

 

good shout

 

I know what Chris Edwards and Shinny got for their fight and it was a disgrace. PM me if interested:thumbsup

 

Suck who off ?

 

calzaghe got 50 grand for his first fight with warren. not sure wat it was for but it wasnt until a few fights later he fought eubank for the wbo. how much u reckon he got for a routine defence???

 

contractually i believe he was getting £500,000 for every defence.

 

thats wat i fought in the back ofmy mind. so 20 defense's plus kessler hopkins and jones. not bad. think he's invested in property in eastern europe

 

The reported highest bid for a British title fight was Carl Froch vs Robin Reid for around £120,000 to £140,000 which is split between the holder and the challenger.

Most boxers will get a contracted amount that they must earn per fight and that will go up depending on the magnitude of the fight (domestic, euro, main event, world title)

In general, British Title fighters will make 5k-30k depending on the weight and how big the fight is.

If DeGale is getting 125k per fight fair play to him, but do not be suprised if Warren drops him in the next year or so, becuase there is no way he is generating the ticket sales and tv money to justify that.
