We all know what kind of guarantees PBF, DLH, Pacman, and Winky get, but what do pro fighters get at the following levels:?
Local / Regional Fight
ESPN Fight Night
HBO / Showtime Undercard
HBO Boxing After Dark
Any insight or estimates welcome!!

Boxers don't make nothing but pennies until they reach the elite level. It is a real crime that the sport provides so little money to the average fighter. The average fighter will fight his career with almost nothing to show for it except being worn down.
I knew a guy who almost made it to title shot. He was beaten by Sean Mannion and never made it too title after that. He was ranked in top 20 and held some kind of fringe belt. He never made more than 8000 for a fight. It was sad.

local, probably just a couple of thousand
espn, probably the same, just a little more
Hbo/showtime, if your a big name, then maybe 500,000 and up
Hbo boxing after dark, i would think about the same as above
