How I wish I can endure the beating just once without dying with broken ribes, neck and teeth.

SonOfAfonja:


Na hunger go kee you...hope you’re not contemplating raising a child with this mentality? Else your news and pictures will be splashed all over Nairaland on how your kids hack you to death.

Pidginwhisper:
Make dem book Mayweather for me abeg. I know say he go beat me Ooooo! But the money wey i go earn go do me. I no go spend pass 200k treating myself and enjoy the main loot.

FalseProphet1:
I see Nairalanders contemplating on challenging Anthony Joshua, they're not interested in defeating him cos they know that they can't, they're only after the hundreds of thousands of dollars they would receive for loosing, which if they convert to naira, will catapult them out of poverty.

This I have seen.

XshegzzyeeiX:
Too much money. Abeg who get this guy phone number. I need to specially congratulate him.

KrazyDave16:

About 250M.

Sniper is cheap if wailing isn't enough

skayT:
Please when your call does get through, tell him to thank his parents more for getting him out of this shit hole of a country called Nigeria. I can bet my life that this guy would never have attained this height if he lived all his life in Nigeria.

Can you imagine?

Even in defeat, they still pay you a mouth-watering salary that an average Bank Manager struggle to earn in 10yrs?


Maybe I should just drop this Masters Degree program and go for this sport that shows someone LOVE in defeat.

I studied Civil Engineering in FUTO but something inside me is telling me that my calling is to be an Ultimate Fighting Champion.

This is cheap asś money! Those who follows boxing will tell you! Come on izzy is a ducking champion and star ! How the hell do you pay him 500,000$! Do you know how much a star of his magnitude is paid in boxing! I’ve just learnt a big difference today that being in the news doesn’t make you rich!

I’ve considered boxing a dying sport compared to other sport but still pull in the ratios . Boeing was more popular in the 80s-2000s ! Imagine UFC enjoying almost the same popularity boxing once had and all it could pay some of his biggest brand name is a meager 500,000$! Pathetic for all the noise about UFC.

If the biggest MMA sport is pay a paltry 500,000$ to its tops stars then one wonder what Glory kickboxing, one championship and bellator would be paying their fighters ! BOXING � is still the biggest paying combat fücking sport!

That's why all these MMA guys are calling out YouTubers, Jake and Logan for a payday... That is why a legend like Silva still went into boxing even at 46 with that Legend's son this past weekend.
That's why most boxers will not go to MMA when there is a cross sports fight... If Mayweather fought Conor in the Octagon, they wouldn't make as much money.

The world of boxing in terms of promotion is a bit more decentralised, much more historic and have still way more followers and sponsorship and the boxers still have a lot of power especially when you already have star power... If Izzy had this same amount of fame and talent in the world of boxing, he will be contending for the top tier of the highest sports earners in the world.

Look at Woodley, he would probably make more money fighting Jake Paul than all his last 4 fights in the UFC combined.

Dirkcoyt:


It’s very embarrassing! What’s the problem with the pay? Is it Dana white or lack of promotion or just nothing?

Cause truth be told UFC is very popular now. And considering the risk of taking a fist and a kick that’s an abysmal payout . They’re all calling out boxers. And honestly the youtubers have got the money to salvage these poor MMA boys. Connor was smart to taste the cookie very early before that scope was .....

Bro really I was surprised many on the thread are saying big money then I knew many don’t know a thing about combat sport . That’s a very poor money very poor compared to the risk involve ! That’s like saying cause a doctor earn 500,000naira in Nigeria he’s rich when his American counterpart put in as much effprt as he does and gets way over that !

I wonder how these guys even survive? Maybe independent sponsorship deals? Cos they will have to pay coaches, pay for their gym, travel costs, etc. In the western world, that money will finish faster than I can blink, taking all these associated costs into consideration.. What about insurance, etc..

I am hoping they make up in sponsorship deals, what they lack in fight night pay.

Julianaa:
200 million naira just for one fight

Champ
