Okay, so I got curious about how much those “undercard” boxers actually make. You know, the guys who fight before the main event, the ones you might not recognize.
I started digging around, and man, it’s a bit of a wild west out there. No simple answers, really. It’s super varied,like from a few hundred bucks to many thousands for one match.
My Research Process
I started with some basic Google searches. You know, “undercard boxer pay,” “boxer earnings per fight,” that kind of thing. I found some forum discussions, a few news articles, and some blog posts, but nothing super concrete.
I also tried to find official data or reports, but honestly, that was tough. Boxing isn’t exactly known for transparent financial records.
What I found out!
I found some general ranges, so here’s the deal. And I summarized them as below:
- Beginner/Local Shows: These guys might only make a few hundred dollars per fight. We’re talking, like, $500 – $1,000, maybe even less.
- Bigger Promotions/TV Cards: If a boxer starts getting on televised undercards, the pay goes up. I saw figures ranging from $2,000 – $10,000, sometimes more, depending on their experience and the promoter.
So, yeah, it’s a HUGE * really depends on the fighter.
My conclusion of the day
What I realized is that it is tough for those guys!
