I love the perception the fans have of how much a boxer makes,and what they really make,Chacon agreed to 12,500 to fight Spadafora,and now the fight might fall through because its too much money and the promoter cant afford it. Literally the whole card could fall on its face right now,which sucks because I have a fighter on the undercard,and the kid needs ring time.
Sorry to spoil the myth,but it aint all 40 mill fights at the Garden,its usually 400 dollar fights at the armory.I cant get Christy Martin booked,strictly because the promoters wont go for her asking price,and for a former champion she's not that unreasonable. Ann Wolfe was asking for donations to keep the doors of her gym open. Mahfood is in college right now,Chacon works as a security guard,and even my Missus is a manager of a call center.
Welcome to boxing son,it aint all that nice,it aint all that lucrative
Look, don't kid yourself (oh the irony), no-one thinks you're Don King or Frank Warren.

We know you deal in chump change.

We know the reality of pro boxing.

It's why many of us are DISGUSTED by a so-called boxing man, from the "buis," wishing DEATH on fighters. You will never get off the bottom of the barrel with that attitude, son
