I can tell you right now that at least 6 of these numbers are inaccurate (not getting into which ones for confidentiality reasons).
A couple things to keep in mind: Booking prices can vary wildly due to a number of factors, like time of year, travel expense, expected turn out, even expected match length for some. Also, you rarely ever pay just the base fee for a guy. That price is just what it takes to get them in the building, with most everything else costing extra.
And let me just say that pretty much anytime you see these master lists of booking prices, you can pretty much count on them being bullshit. Not only is every case different, but publicly sharing that mind of information is a great way to get guys to never work for you again, and very possibly kick your ass.

Is it typical or expected that a booker pay for travel/lodging? It depends on the wrestler and fed. When Wildkat brought in Chris Masters Wildkat paid for his plane ticket and IIRC Masters stayed at the co owners house. When they brought in Matt Hardy they covered half his airfare,with NWA ECW in Houma LA covering the other half. When Powerslam brought in Viscera ,he drove himself down, but cause he did he asked for 2 meals and some perks. When Powerslam brought in Rosey,Rosey asked for money to cover his gas, even though he rode in with some rookies and got there late.

At $300, every fed should be booking Joey Ryan. He may have over overhead costs attached to that, but I feel like you're getting a damn bargain. Him and Cage.
