Good article on fighter pay

[Luigi]

So I found a good article that properly puts fighter pay in perspective with boxing pay.

"In 2010, the nearly 400 pro boxers in Nevada earned $38,655,936 — an average of more than $98,000 a bout. Not bad — but declaring an “average” boxing payout is a bit like stating the average height of LeBron James and a jockey is 6-foot-2.

In fact, most of that money — $22,224,850 — went to one man: Floyd Mayweather. Perhaps this explains his incendiary tendencies. All told, the 20 highest-paid boxers earned 93 percent of the money — leaving the remaining 370-odd fighters to tussle for $2.6 million. That’s an average of $7,070 a bout. But even that payout is overstated: Median compensation turns out to be just $2,375. Last year, after beating Mario Ramos in Reno, Mayfield pocketed a $2,425 net contestant’s."
