if the rest of the boys aren't getting paid, not paying venue hire, you own the ring, promotion costs (especially properly) don't want to make any profit etc.

Good day for Buff tho getting somebody to agree to pay him that + exes

Well, I did mention the risk when paying the other guys/staff/promotion etc.

I've never wrestled for a company who has to hire a ring though. I've also never wrestled for a promoter who didn't want to make a profit.

Would need more than 100 considering that covers just his booking fee and not all the other stuff he also demanded (airfare, travel expenses, etc).

That's pretty much why I advised him against it, the numbers just wouldn't add up. He has his own ring and let's say in some miracle he finds a venue that won't charge him. Let's say he "negociates" Buff down so it cost him $1000 with everything, and he hires 10 other workers to fill out the card at $30 a piece (that's what alot of shows I've worked pay in Texas) So by some magical coincidence that all works (he gets family and friends to help him with the set up, music, announcing, refs, etc.), he would still have to get 131 people just to make a profit. Honestly, he only pulls maybe 50 people at his shows so I don't see Buff bringing in 3 times his normal audience. Maybe if it was 2003 he could bring in some fans for an indy show, but 10 years later...


Side note, what size audiences do you usually work in front of Ramm?
