Just thinking , it sounds a lot of money, but after expenses and tax how much do you think they bank at the end of the day?
Here’s my educated guess:
Gross Pay = $1,000,000
Then deduct expenses: =
• Manager (@ 33%) = $330,000
• Trainer (@10%) = $100,000
• Cutman (@2%) = $20,000
• Strength Conditioning Coach (@3%) = $30,000
• Sanctioning Fees (@3%) = $30,000
Net Pay Before Tax = $490,000
• Income Tax (@40%) = $196,000
• State Tax (@8.82%) = $43,218
Net Pay After Tax = $250,782
There might be other expenses to be deducted also, such as meals, flights, other travel, overnight accommodation, gym fees, entourage/security/sparring partners etc. that will reduce both tax liability and net pay, but I guess these amounts will typically vary per fight camp (i.e. no industry standard percentages).
The figures I’ve quoted might seem over-the-top, but if you consider that Sergey Kovalev claimed his net pay for the Hopkins fight was only $125K (from a gross purse of $500K), then you can understand the logic that I’ve used.
