What percentage of a purse does a fighter keep

If anyone has an informed idea?? Always wondered ballpark figures what a fighter actually keeps?
Different levels, not local shows undercard with a few dollars and sell a few tickets….
Just ballpark figures…

… 2 fighters, local show headline or even undercard…
Say one’s getting $50k as home fighter, might have regional belt, lower top 15 rankingish…
Opponent let’s say $30k…. Either on local tv or not..
What percentage would the fighters keep of their PURSES??
I’m guessing… FIGHTER A, home fighter, even if promoter takes nothing…
Would it be something like, manager what 10-20%, trainer, corner men 10-15% TAX, I’m assuming at a highish tax rate…. So I guess, of a TOTAL purse, would a fighter actually get around 70% of that, MINUS TAX; So would the fighter get say 40%ish of actual purse in their pocket when all said and done?? Possibly even legal/accounting fees also?
In same situation, (maybe even not at local type levels, maybe bigger fights, if they got own promoter, this fights on opponents promoters card maybe even 10% of purse goes to their own promoter??

…. Say it’s a big tv fight, title… pick your network….
Home fighter, similar to above (ownpromoter may or may not take %
Let’s say challenger, $800k purse? (Even if $200k-$400k whatever)

same thing, would they take around 60-70% of purse before tax??

…. With PPV… Say $60ppv for general public…
Does the network automatically take half?? I’m guessing somewhere promoter gotta take some of that $? Any type of guaranteed purses plus ppv split, or ppv split..
Of that $60ppv… Would $25-$30 get split between the fighters… at 50/50 70/30 whatever the agreement is????

As a general rule (Not talking mayweathers, Canelo… self promoted or individual agreements etc?)
Would a fighter keep say 70% of a PURSE, then taxes, hence pocketing say 40%ish of actual purse?
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the figure was closer to 30% or legal ways to keep bigger %….
Hence lawyer n accountants etc….

say $50k PURSE,40% including basic taxes, would that fighter POCKET/BANK $20kish all said and done?
Fighter getting flat $800k may pocket/bank say $250k-$320kish, accounting for say “b side” promoter 10%…

Anyone with bit industry knowledge/ experience….
I always wondered roughly what % a fighter actually keeps?
….. Let’s say they all got local sponsors for training camp, local car dealer may or may not provide car for few months/years, whatever…
ALSO - I’m guessing in most cases, your going to have to pay sparring partners at some point, how many and for how many weeks etc, even fly a few over with u if international, across state, whatever, I’m guessing that’s additional costs to fighter also?? (In general terms, not say fighting out of, training at a say krona, wildcard, big bear etc where sparring prob sorted internal, even then, might need to bring in similar few guys similar to opponent or whatever)

I’m thinking fighter may receive say 40% of purse…
Say a $60 PPV, Would the fighters share $25-$30 per buy…
Thanks if anyone got ballpark idea, not deal specific, just ballpark..

 

I feared it was closer to 20% in general, less some cases…
Thx for reply

 

Many thx for reply… All adds up….
I thought roughly 20-30% general, less if not good deal, 35-40%ish if decent deal…. 35%ish.. Tough living huh..
Appreciate reply.. Thx

 

Thx for reply…
I kind of thought 40% would be decent amount at best..
Thx again

 

Also… On all of above…
PPV money….
Let’s say $60 public, or on PPV in UK n however many pounds etc..
Say cost is $60 to gen public, does the network basically take $30 being 50%
Then, would promoter take any %. Or a % up to a certain min buys?
IF network takes 50%, do the fighters share the other 50%, or promoter takes say 10% of that leaving fighters to split remaining 40%, or 40% up to a certain amount of buys then the 50% BETWEEN the fighters??

I “think” I read somewhere, prob on forums here over the years PPV TV takes 50% up front??
I’d assume even modern streaming, call it PPV or even on a monthly subscription streaming site 50 odd percent IN GENERAL would be takes by streaming service (understanding diff between monthly sub or “STREAMING PPV”) More PPV streaming, I’m guessing 50% goes straight to network/streaming provider…..

Thx…. Something I always wondered just ballpark, not deal specific for the big money stars, just general…

 

No wonder years n years back a lot of guys stayed in the amatures…
Those %s pros basically fighting for free… Criminal huh

 

$100k purse (just round numbers, even 10k)
Promoter, mgr, cnr… call 40%… $60k at best left at prob 45%ish tax rate…
$35k minus above mentioned, prob stating best case too??
Sparring, legal/acct fees… $35k for 10 weeks of your life…
Then your next fights 4-6mths away…
It might be lonely at the top but bloody tough at the bottom also…

 

This gets better… So not only do promoters take the gate (pending the agreements) PPV pays undercard… Not surprising…. Even PPV, I know a lot still on the here’s 50 tickets to sell….
I always assumed basically promoter paid u/card fighters from gate…
Not surprising to hear PPV pays it in some way….. (Thought maybe promoters may take say $5-$10 up to first say 100 000 buys to pay undercard n fighters split rest, maybe still promoter takes a %…??????)
I could see network 50% all PPV, promoter 10% or more….
Leaving the fighters 40% to split… Of a $60ppv, fighters may split $20-$25??
