This guy makes 1,200 a week to get beat on by Pacquaio plus ringside seats for him and his pals when Pac fights.
Pac also paid the down payment on his house for him.
Apparently, 1 grand a week is the HIGH END for sparring partners to the stars. So without the extra Pacquaio perks, this guy is lucky to make 50 grand a year and he's taking a hiding doing it.
Tyson team was paying his partners 3,000-4,000 per week if I got it right, and it was in 80'es! It is like a car per month basically
They took a real ass kicking with Tyson. I know you've seen some of the videos. Tyson seemed to really enjoy the sparring.
Tyson could be gentle with sparring partners. Old fighters he used for sparring but did not beat still got money for waiting.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
