Shelby Loses About $100000 On Fight Promoters
Shelby Montana today counted its losses from the world fight center status. Gate receipts totaled about 210,485 with a federal tax of 22,448.50 deducted, leaving a net that failed to cover a 210,000 investment for the champion, 20,060 for promotion, 85,000 for the arena, and 25,000 for the amphitheater. The promoter’s share and ticket missales reduced the champion’s earnings, though Gibbons may gain from film rights and a 50 percent share of receipts above 310,000. Gibbons’ trainer earned 5,000 for training and related costs.
