Jamahal Hill is just not ruling out a transfer to boxing.
After struggling a pair of brutal back-to-back knockouts towards Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka, ‘Candy Goals’ is in determined want of a win if he hopes to remain related within the gentle heavyweight division. He’ll get that likelihood on June 21 when he headlines UFC Baku towards one-time title challenger Khalil Rountree Jr.
Whereas a 3rd straight loss wouldn’t essentially kill Hill’s goals of someday reclaiming the sunshine heavyweight crown, it might set him again far sufficient to the place the Chicago native could strongly think about a profession change.
“It’s doable. It’s doable,” Hill instructed The Schmo when requested a few potential transfer to Dana White’s yet-to-be-named boxing promotion. “I hear boxers make fairly good checks. I imply, relying on what the verify seem like.”
TKO Boxing’s Pay Scale Revealed
In March, the pay scale for TKO’s new boxing league was seemingly revealed, prompting widespread skepticism amongst followers, boxers, and promoters.
Per a report from Boxing Scene, the breakdown is as follows:
- $20,000 for a 10-round bout that includes an unranked fighter.
- $50,000 when ranked by “the corporate” at No. 5 to No. 10.
- $125,000 when ranked by the corporate at No. 3 to No. 4.
- $375,000 when difficult for “firm” championship.
- $750,000 when defending “firm” championship.
Whereas some praised the promotion’s pay charge for unranked fighters, others criticized the max earnings for a champion or challenger, noting that it’s far lower than what elite-level boxers sometimes make for such a high-profile battle.
And contemplating Jamahal Hill already clears nicely over six figures for every of his fights contained in the Octagon, it’s exhausting to think about ‘Candy Dream’ taking a pay minimize to work his approach up in one other sport.
