    I'd rather be an accountant than a Superflyweight boxer. What's the point?

    They are taking concussive beatings in the ring for peanuts. They won't even be getting hot slags from the fame because they are like 5'5" tall and totally invisible to females as a result of their midget height. They are world class pugilists but a 6'6" basement-dwelling slob could still pick their 115b asses up and throw them out the window. Seriously what's the point?

    Yafai must be gutted Chocalitito's aura has gone now because Matchroom could have made that a sell-out main event fight in the UK.

    Who are all of these midgets?

    That's why they get paid so little... no one knows, or cares, about these little dudes.

    10K is crazy, though...

    All these midgets need to get a fight with Inoue. Wonder what Hearn pays Burnett. Probably got like £50-75k for Zhakiyanov based on what Yafai is getting. Burnett should just fight Tete, would easily sell out any arena in Belfast and they could charge decent money for tickets.

    The Mexicans are okay...

    Carmona makes 8K and should pocket 4K after paying his team and taxes... 4K in Mexico goes a long way. So if you're Cuadras or Estrada, and you're making 70K a fight, you're still upper class at the end of the day.

    You can rent a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Mexico for $250.00 a month.

    I was just telling my buddy a few hours ago(casual fan) that the lower weight guys were starting to get paid better... God-dammit. But better times are on the horizons for these guys I think. Here's to hoping.

    Funny how Yafai and Ancajas both turned down Inoue recently yet they are getting pennies what they could have got had they said yes to the him!

    That's a good point tbh. I suppose depending on where these guys live it's not so bad. Indongo for instance probably made peanuts his entire career but can now most likely go back to Namibia with his Burns, Crawford and Prograis money and live like an absolute king.

    I kinda thought so too. Yafai needs to either base himself Stateside and build a fight with Rungvisai or just move up and try his luck in the Bantamweight WBSS if he wants to make some dough. But even then I doubt he'd be able to retire from his earnings when he finishes in boxing. Domestically the only "big fight" for him is that rat boy Charlie Edwards. I suppose with a dose of IFL-sponsored "heated beef" that could be a relatively big fight for the casuals in Birmingham. But again, doubt that would go even near a £100k fight purse.

    Yep. A nice 1 bedroom in Mexico can be had for $250 a month. A nice 1 bedroom in Tokyo is at least $2,500.00.

    It's **** when you think of it as an American or a Brit. Being a p4p elite and only making a couple hundred Gs at the tail end of your career. But annual income where Gonzalez comes from is about 400 bucks, so he'll take it. **** isn't much better in Thailand where Rungvisai comes from so he'll take what he can get too. Not sure what's keeping Brits like Yafai going though. Maybe, he dropped out of school and doesn't have a lot of options?

    Timestamped. Here in a midget schoolboy-type trash talk with rat boy Edwards, Yafai claims he made considerably more than £80k for his fight against Sho Ishida and then claims he spent £80k on his Porsche.

    Yeah ok Kal, that's why you're jetting over Stateside to box for $40,000. Is that Porsche on lease? Can he even see over the steering wheel at 5'3" without a booster seat?

    JD Sports but I doubt he'd get much more than free clothing tbh. Less than 50k Twitter followers, 5'3" in a low-interest weight class, receding hairline, ugly... He's hardly marketable unfortunately.
