Jamahar Hill has not ruled out any moves to boxing.
After suffering brutal back-to-back knockouts against Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazuka, “Sweet Dream” is in desperate need of victory if they want to continue to be associated with the light heavyweight division. He will have that chance on June 21 when UFC Baku headlines one-time title challenger Khalil Rountree Jr.
The third straight loss doesn’t necessarily kill Hill’s dream of regaining the light heavyweight crown one day, but it can adequately retreat him to a place where people from Chicago could strongly consider changes in their careers.
“It’s possible. It’s possible,” Hill told Schmo when asked about Dana White’s potential move to boxing promotions that have yet to be named. “You can hear the boxers do pretty good checks, which means it depends on how the check looks.”
TKO Boxing’s wage scale has been revealed
In March, the wage scale for TKO’s new boxing league appeared to be revealed, prompting widespread skepticism among fans, boxers and promoters.
According to reports from the boxing scene, the breakdown is as follows:
- $20,000 in a 10-round match featuring unranked fighters.
- Ranked from 5th to 10th to 10th, it would be $50,000.
- Ranked 3rd to 4th place, $125,000.
- $375,000 when challenging the “company” championship.
- $750,000 when defending the “company” championship.
Some praised the wage rates for promotions against unranked fighters, while others criticised the maximum revenue of champions and challengers, noting that elite-level boxers are far less than what they make for such a prominent battle.
And considering that Jamahar Hill is already well over six for each of his fights in the octagon, it is difficult to imagine a “sweet dream” cutting off his pay to work in his way in another sport.
