    A big time ref like Mills lane Tony weeks or Joe cortez. How much are they making per 12 round fight?

    Is it possible they are paid too much and like fighter can simply enter the ring going through the motions once they dont need the money anymore?


    And judges too for that matter?

    they don't get paid that much you know. i can't remember the exact number, but cortez was paid no more than 1000$ for a big fight about 8 months ago.

    hope this helps.

    really, onl 1K for the biggest, of the big fights? i know it can't be THAT much, but I was tihnking more along hte lines of 3-5k for a regular HBO, or Showtime bout, and around 10k for a big time PPV fight. . . Judges probably less. .


    but the main thing is the perks: you get free room, travel, food for a few nights at a good hotel... and you get to travel the world! fights in germany, australia, new zealand, russia, mexico, etc.

    but ive wondered this myself. . ive never seen anything concrete, just guesses like this. . LOVE to see an article, or interview, etc. discussing the issue.

    Depends if you're a top rank puppet or an honest ref who never get to ref big time fights.

    But to think to do what they do and make 1k to for a day of work is good pay.

    Depends on the fight but a good and busy ref can make as much as $30k per month.
