At the mercy of the promoter aswell, a bad promoter has hand in their pocket over every little thing and wont pay a penny of expenses, some rip them off on a 'tickets sold deal'. The good ones realise these fellas are the life blood of the sport.

It's why despite deserved critisim I don't join in on the hearn hate, whatever their flaws the hearns pay their fighters at every level

He Dosent, We had Marco Antonio Periban turining up to our gym years ago when he was over to fight Degale, only came in to tick over a few days before and one of the lads took him on the pads, he came back a few days on the bounce and the lad ended up cornering him along with Peribans dad, no joke. Hearn put him in a sh**** little hotel, he needed a salt bath to cut weights and end up having to go to my mates in kenny to do it the day before a fight.

This is no journeyman we are talking about either at the time he was a Mexican former world title challenger. Hearn didn’t give him the slightest bit of respect, time or pay him well. I know that for a solid fact.

The ticket deals are the only way promoters without TV deals can pay fighters in fairness. Steve Wood who manages Josh Warrington and promotes shows through this company VIP has a lot of fighters on them deals because if the small hall isn't full they lose money, pretty sure a lot of the smaller promoters tend to have other jobs and just do it as a hobby. It is a shame the way it works as you get good prospects like Brandon Daord who can't sell tickets and therefore doesn't get opportunities.

Journeyman can get 1500 per fight, it often depends on how much notice as they ask for more if it's late notice. Peter Buckley who was a famous journeyman has a good book about it. He had 300 fights which is a record in the UK I think.

MJ Hall who fought tonight fought about 25 times in 2019 so he'll have earned a decent amount. Normally they pay 20/30% out to their manager/trainer so they only keep 70 to 80%.

I thought MJ was the star of the night and if he can clear a grand a week for his fight on a Saturday it leaves him with a decent wage even after deducting his fines for fighting on Friday night outside Wetherspoons.

Sad to hear that, they always paid the lads at our gyms and their taxis and hotels so can only say all the lads I know had positive experiences with them. Never nice to hear someone taking money from a fighter, the games hard enough.

All well having timing and power against someone like Williams who is British level at best. Brook is past it but levels and mean levels above Eubank Junior. Why isn’t Junior calling out Charlo or Andrade? He’s a famous name due to his ald man but no better then Jake Paul,

I agree mate but I have eubank on Instagram and that’s enough to know what he’s all about. He wants money and the brook fight will earn him more money than charlo or Andrade.
 

How come there hasn’t been a Scottish heavyweight in over 70 years for those more in the know than me? Surely Scotland has had enough heavyweights in that time for somebody to hold the title?
