    Lower weight classes generally just get paid less.

    Kind of crazy how Ugas got 100k and Estrada only got 150k. Who is Ugas? I see on boxrec he lost to Imam.

    I am 100% certain Nietes, Ioka and Estrada get some extra dough from their homeland Tv deals.

    Ugas wont get a title shot with the Wbc, WBC wont enforce the mandatory they just want the most money for sanction fees. It suck that Nietes was a long time champion and only got 50k, i thought he would get more than that.

    Hbo needs to step there $$$$$ up. Besides Canelo and Ggg everyone else isnt making big money. With Hearn, Haymon, Espn they are in last place.

    I do think showtime/pbc fighters must be getting money on the side. So many have turned down Hearn. Or maybe if there with Haymon he takes a much smaller percent than Hearn.

    Love or hate Khan he is a big ticket seller in U.K. He makes good money even fighting weak opposition.

    You gotta admire the business savvy though, even if they are criminally underpaying these guys. The whole card costs 325k. They probably pay the commentary crew more. For the returns they must be getting, they must be making millions off of these superfly shows. I wonder why nobody thought of it before, or why they are limiting things to superfly? They could do the same at strawweight, flyweight, and bantamweight for similar money.

    He is long term champ but he has no world class fighter on his resume and he has never unified. At least Chocatito unified with Estrada and he fought more known fighters in Caudras. Not to mention was in some thrilling fights, Rungvisai has beaten 3 high level fighters, Nietes hasn’t got one and he just drew with a guy he was a heavy favourite to beat.
