Anyone know much do these guys get paid? Per episode, per season, or otherwise? I'm talking about the show, not the bouts at the finale.Speaking of finale, I'm assuming its going to be shown live on the evening of May 24, is that right? I may need to arrange my schedule so that I can watch.
I've been reading up on some of the threads here, as I just stumbled onto this site the other day. Hope the show comes back next year, agree the five round format is dumb and possibly works against the more experienced fighters, judging seems to be more for amatuer bouts than pros as far as I can tell, and the whole fight needs to be shown somewhere without editing.
Thats all for now.
I read somewhere that the boxers have been getting paid $1500 a week to stay in shape and keep training since production wrapped up last fall. I don't know if that's how much they got during production too or not. And I have no idea how much they got for their fights during the show. I did read where Jesse Brinkley donated his winnings from his fight against Jonathan Reid. He gave Jonathan the money so he could take all his kids to Disneyland. Yes, the finale is going to be shown live the night of May 24th. The fan favorites are only going to be shown on the web during the day. (I assume they'll show clips and maybe the bronze bout before the finale.)
Someone said they saw Stallone on "The View" the other day and he pretty much said there WON'T be a season 2. I don't know.
Hope that helps! Welcome!
