    Yeah and that's probably pre-tax, so closer to $25k after paying good old uncle sam

    Take tax off that and if Melek fights once a year then he on less than minimum wage in most western countries. Be able to make more down at the Mcdonalds.

    Rosada epitomizes the term "road warrior" he has lived and breathed the sport and gives it his best every time.... He lost and took some damage tonight(as has been the case throughout the career), but he hung tough and lasted the distance. Up to him whether or not he wants to carry on. He showed enough in there to where carrying on wouldn't be a travesty. He's earned the right to make that decision himself and be respected for it. When/if he starts getting blown out in a few rounds by guys he normally would have beaten or at the very least test should the retirement talk be drummed up boxing fans.

    Well he lives in California so he's probably on food stamps.

    Good to see these cuban amateur stars turn pro before they're over the hill finally!
    Imo Osleys Iglesias has even more potential than Morrell, I'd love to see that fight get made down the line

    Gotta put in the work marketing yourself, keep winning and then you can make $5M like Tank or $2.5M like Garcia without PPV %.

    Realistically though Melekuz will probably never be this marketable even if he knocks out every opponent in his next 20 fights

    Rosada has always had mixed results in these kind of fights. What he shouldn't be doing is jumping up and down in weight at this stage. Finish at 168. He's still tough, alert and dangerous throughout. He can retire when he thinks the time is right.

    Tank is a slow starter, things arent changing tonight. Hes got to pick his spots and make Ryan pay everytime he makes a mistake. Ryan is going to get off to a great start, but i feel he makes too many mistakes for him to beat Tank who is almost always defensively a sound fighter and a hell of a counter puncher. We'll see.
