Ric Flair's current going rate for overseas bookings is $30,000 per appearance, which includes two first class tickets for himself and his agent Elaine Gillespie who accompanies him on all of his appearances. Gillespie is insisting on all money up front. The old standard was for top stars to get half the money in advance as a bond.Flair's recent publicity on TMZ did end up hurting him and not because of his daughter's arrest. The photo of Flair with a black eye had hurt a possible deal with Coca-Cola as they were in talks with him until they saw the photos. Flair still has deals with several Southeastern Wal-Marts.
It should be noted that TNA has sent feelers through Hermie Sadler to Flair, but Flair signed a one-year non-compete clause when he got his release from WWE as it pertained to working for TNA specifically.
