There was a boxing match yesterday where the Filipino boxer won by knockout over Juan Carlos Reveco of Argentina in the 7th round. Donnie Nietes is the current IBF flyweight champion. In retaining his title, he was paid $40,000 for the fight. That amount was even smaller than the salary of the trainer of Manny Pacquiao. And to think that Nietes is the longest reigning Filipino boxing champion for more than 10 years now with only 1 loss in his career.
Indeed, pro athletes need fame and popularity to earn a higher salary.
