Why is the pay so laughable low in RWS? Even Power Slap pays better
I am watching RWS right now and the title fight main event winner got a KO bonus of 200.000 baht and a total fight win of 375.000 baht. This equals to 11.597 usd. To get to the point where you are winning title matches by KO in RWS you need several years of training
Jake Hager who never did Power Slap (a very simple sport that takes very little training) got 20k usd (starting pay is 5k/5k with a 10k KO bonus) for his first Power Slap bout.
Why do RWS pay so little? Their stadiums are full every week and i bet a lot watches RWS in Thailand, so i dont get the low pay at all. Even less so when a dumb meme sport promotion by one of the most stingy persons in sports when it comes to athlete pay and yet he pays more than RWS.
Is cost of living really that low in Thailand that people accept it? Or am i missing something really important?
