How much does a guy like Bob Sapp make to travel the world to get crushed by cans?

54 million tuned in to watch Sapp fight Akebono in K-1. What does the Super Bowl do? 100m?
Sapp was possibly the biggest name in fight sports at the time. He has also appeared in several movies. Why would he do anything for nothing?

Yes but that shit has dried up for the most part. Other than the odd Rizin fight,the guy is probably not fighting for alot of money. Hes more of a spectacle than anything else. We all know hes going to take a dive and ppl watch it anyway. But it cant be all that much. The promoters arent gonna pay him alot to NOT fight.
For instance his fights in japan are actually efforts to fight. Japan aint playin with this shit/

Its too bad Bob descended so much, it would have been something cool to see him face Francis Ngannou. It would have been a nice passing of the torch fight. Both guys have that sort of brute strength that only oversized HW's possess. Lesnar and Overeem are the only other people that I feel are on that level of brute strength.

Lots of people speculate, but you'll never know.
You may find this article interesting, but just because he says these things don't make them facts either.

I don’t need to do that any longer."

He is a domestic abuser and doesn’t deserve attention or pity:
