How much Jennings gets $$?

not sure but ive read a few things mentioning how K2 pay their opponents peanuts, wasnt it said that Briggs couldnt even pay the hospital with what he made from Vitali fight?

 

Jennings gets 1 mil, pulev got 2.5 mil, solis for vitali fight got 1.8 million, how's this peanuts?? Briggs couldn't pay his hospital bills because his own management screwed him

 

Briggs manager took all of his money from that fight. How on earth is that K2's problem? :huh

At least he'll have his name in history.

99% of the boxers would agree with you.

 

Medical costs from eating right hands from Wladimir?

 

he'd probably only take one.

 

People really overestimate how much these guys get paid. HBO's whole budget is only about 30 million dollars. They spread that over twenty or more events a year, and every card has at least 6 guys on it. They simply can't pay every contender, or champ taking a tune up fight a million dollars.

 

I think that 15 grand is the average purse for FNF fighters. Fight 3 times a year and it's still 45 grand. You can live on it, but you might want a part time job on the side. It's only unfair compared to how well the superstars in the same profession get paid, but that's how it is in everything. Those actors who fill a playhouse at their local community theater don't see Tom Cruise type money either and nobody is crying for them. If you can find something you enjoy that people will be willing to pay you more to do then do it.

 

Jennings doesn't appear to me the type that will just lay down. His stubbornness I believe will lead to accumulated punishment from Vladimir ala Shannon Briggs.
