i think OUMA deserves atleast 6 figures at least dont u agree? i mean this gonna make bizillions of dollars and all.
People don't get paid what they DESERVE, they get paid what they negotiate. And in my opinion getting 50k for a nights work isn't too bad. That's more than many make in a yr. He is making a fair living doing what he loves. If it's an undercard fight against a tuneup opponent 50k wouldn't be a bad payday.
$50,000 dollars in UK money is about £25,000 the national average yearly wage.

BUT Ouma is a former world champion, a professional boxer at the elite level of his profession. Also any fight, no matter who the opponent comes with a risk.

He might lose, he might get injured, he may look bad in winning and his appeal gets diminished. Also he has to hire a cutman, a trainer, possibly pay medical expenses, and certainly have to pay the taxman.

It's not worth it for him no matter how you look at it.

Somebody stacking shelves at Walmart might be exceedingly happy to make $50,000 dollars for a nights work, I'm sure Anthony Bonsante would be all over that money, but the chairman of the company would consider it an insult.

You can't pay a top level athlete, a former world champion the same wage as a warehouse packer
