Aw, princess. Frozen mango margaritas? I'm so sorry they put you through this, sweetheart!

Getting punched in the face for a living is kind of different, though. If you got punched in the face or kicked in the head for a living, you might be a bit more justified in saying "Fuck you, pay me." You might be able to expect better treatment from your boss if you were doing that shit for a living.

Like personally I make (on average) $150k per year. If you wanted me to do what Al does? Get in a cage and bash some dude or get bashed by him? I'm not doing that for less than $300k per fight. Because if I'm successful I'm going to be doing what, two fights per year? 4x my current income seems like a reasonable demand then, considering that the life of a pro fighter is easily 4x as unpleasant as my life is. And maybe I won't be successful at all and will just get fucked up and have to retire after a few fights. But if I'm going to have to deal with pictures of me with a black eye and a smashed lip being on national TV, if I'm going to have to deal with idiots on Reddit talking shit every time I get rocked in a fight or in training, I'm not budging for less than 4x what I make right now. Even then I would be pretty uncomfortable with it, because I don't want to go get myself a traumatic brain injury and damage my memory.

Being a pro fighter is an exceptionally arduous job. They can and should expect exceptionally good renumeration.
