Jamahal Hill isn’t ruling out a transfer to boxing.
After struggling a pair of brutal back-to-back knockouts in opposition to Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka, ‘Candy Desires’ 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 in opposition to one-time title challenger Khalil Rountree Jr.
Whereas a 3rd straight loss wouldn’t essentially kill Hill’s goals of sooner or later reclaiming the sunshine heavyweight crown, it may set him again far sufficient to the place the Chicago native could strongly contemplate a profession change.
“It’s attainable. It’s attainable,” Hill instructed The Schmo when requested a couple of 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 test appear to be.”
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 price 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 properly over six figures for every of his fights contained in the Octagon, it’s onerous to think about ‘Candy Dream’ taking a pay lower to work his manner up in one other sport.
