Difference here is that Volk is a champion making peanuts and that Golden boy card had lower tier fighters. Why should they be paid millions? But you’d expect a UFC champion to make a million at least.
A fairer comparison would be comparing UFC champion pay vs Golden boy champion pay. It’s not even close if we go there, Golden boy champions make 20 million+ per fight
Probably the biggest boxing fight available excluding Mayweather fights, Canelo Alvarez is finally set to take on Gennady Golovkin in much awaited middleweight rematch on Saturday, 15th September 2018 in Las Vegas. This will be the biggest fight of the year even eclipsing Joshua vs Povetkin which takes place a week later. Both fighters are set to earn their biggest purse with Canelo Alvarez guaranteed $15 million and could clear upto $25 million depending on PPV numbers. Golovkin on the other hand will also get his biggest career payday and should clear anywhere between $10 to $15 million.

Volk made 50k for fight of the night where he fought to death lol.
Also did you know TUF fighters don’t even get paid? If they fought through the entire series and don’t get selected they fought for nothing and go back home empty handed. Even if they won some fights. At least those low tier GB fighters got paid accordingly. Dana is one cheap bastard.
