Guillermo Rigondeaux has generated a good bit of buzz since his easy win last Friday over Rico Ramos at the Palms in Las Vegas, but nobody was interested enough beforehand to actually attend the fight.
Figures for the show were bleak, as the fight sold a meager 375 tickets, with a gate of $14,525 total. Thank heavens for site fees and TV packaging this time.
Here are the purses from the card:
| Fighter A | Purse | Fighter B | Purse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rico Ramos | $55,000 | Guillermo Rigondeaux | $51,500 |
| Joel Diaz Jr | $5,000 | Guy Robb | $5,000 |
| Matt Villanueva | $3,000 | Michael Ruiz Jr | $3,500 |
| Javier Molina | $2,500 | Albert Herrera | $3,500 |
| Razvan Cojanu | $500 | Rodney Hernandez | $1,200 |
| Yusmani Abreu-Mena | $800 | Marcus Robinson | $1,000 |
When all was said and done and all of the fees and other miscellaneous whatnot was taken out of the purses, Ramos walked away with $44,261 in his net contestant's share, compared to $28,950 for Rigondeaux.

No. I’ve never seen a ShoBox number reported, and Showtime numbers are rare to find anyway. The major ratings tracker sites don’t bother to follow boxing much at all, and definitely not second-tier boxing.

With the amount Diaz fights in a year, 5,000 ain’t so bad. He has fought 5 times in 365 days (I believe) and though he obviously hasn’t made 5,000 each fight, he made it here, and has another fight in February. I like this kid. He’s probably into cool music, or maybe skateboarding… He’s my punk rock princess, and I’m his garage-band king. XO Joel Diaz Jr. I hope to see more from you.
A firestorm to purify.
Didn’t promoter Dan Goossen turn down 200k from Bob Arum to stage the fight on the Cotto-Margarito PPV ? If I remember correctly and this is the case… it seems to have been a somewhat uninspired financial decision.
