The salary of Jose Tomas, by a day of bullfight Feria de San isidro it´s 420000€
I want to be bullfighter !!please!!It´s difficult??

Jazz I went to a capea a few years ago in Navalcarnero and had to fight a small bull .. Just six pasos with the capote , but it was scary . The bulls are fast and very very agressive ! But I´ll be going to the bullfight this afternoon ... Jose Ignacio Uceda Leal , Juan Bautista and Luis Bolivar . Should be interesting ( Though I know you don´t like the bullfights ! )

Like any other profession or skill, I suppose, to be bullfighter (at least a successful one), one has to train for years and years and rise towards the top of your art/skill/profession.José Tomás didn't make anywhere near that money in the first 8+ years of working as a bullfighter.

It´s true, I don´t like the bullfights. but I have recpect whom they like.Your have a good evening of bulls. A greeting

It was dramatic . Uceda Leal´s father had died the day before and the whole bullring observed a minute´s silence with the toreros . Uceda Real took the first bull and got hit and "corneado" ( Pierced by the bulls horns ) . They rushed him to the enfermería ( Doctors ) , but he was back in the ring 2 minutes later , covered in blood , limping ... and he finished the bull off in the name of his father . He got Una Oreja for it . The crowd were going crazy . Steve

For those of you interested ( and who can read Spanish ) :

jazz, it seems that José Tomás WILL NOT fight during Madrid's monthlong bullfight fiesta of San Isidro because Las Ventas (or more accurately, Taurodelta) is not going to pay him those 420,000 Euros PER bullfight. And since José Tomás does not allow any of his bullfights to be televised, they/Taurodelta would lose A LOT of Canal+ money as well - even though the bullfight would likely sell-out (entradas agotadas).

I say "Screw Him". Greed gets you nowhere in this world. It may get you rich but you lose a lot of respect along the way too. (and someone responds, "No, but you can't buy bread with respect." To that I say, "That's true, but you don't need 420,000 Euros to buy bread, either.")

yeah I agree . Much as I would love to see José Tomás , I find his attitude distasteful . He´s more interested in the money and less interested in the bullfight , and more importantly not interested in the fans of the bullfight .
There´s no doubt he´s a great torero , but his attitude sucks ! He needs to take a check on reality .

you have train from childhood, and some for the great ones have it in you. I did banderilleros when i was a child in Madrid, but never went further than some tries. Interesting story.they still make less than footballers ::)
