Man, I was watching a fight with Jack Dempsey and a dude got knocked down like 6 times. Clearly hurt every single time, but the ref was just like, go ahead get up

Found it...

I would guess for this current fight, under 80k. For all I know its actually 15k

Espn license fee is like 25k tops per show, I think these days. For really special fights they might pony up more $, but it's rare.

Raheem and this other dude are making pretty short $, maybe a few thiusand each. it's possible if they have a sponsor, or a special deal with there promoter, they get some more $.

Some of the high end prospects will get deals where they get nice paychecks per fight no matter how small the show. But these two aren't getting anything like that.

Not much.....only championship fights usually make decent money.... i mean it's decent for the network they're fighting on I guess

Here are some articles on some FNF purses

I think a new rule should be if a promoter tries to bring back zahir Raheem, he should be banned from the sport.

Why the f am I watching Raheem on tv right now?

And next week, there giving me Muriqi. What year is it?

Back then there was no standing 8 count sometimes guys would tackle each other get up as fast as they could to resume beating the crap off each other and referees would just be there looking at the **** lol . I love watching those fights.

Hurry up and match Ruslan and Pac so they can actually start promoting.
Give Bradley the money he wants to go with Provo

It was rough watching that.... Dempsey just sitting there and waiting to whoop dat ass while the guy is trying to figure out why this guy is attacking him

I have a feeling Vicente might be to small for Rodriguez at 130. But this guy did lose to Dib so who knows.
