Dave Allen Only Got £9000 ($11,100) For Fighting Luis Ortiz

It’s low when you consider lots of expenses will have come out of that, trainers cut, Medicals etc etc, He probably cleared about 6 grand before tax. Then again, He was not as well known before that fight as he become a bit later on and is really pretty much a glorified journeyman anyway, so I bet there’s not many journeymen making 9 grand in one night

Outrageous. Should have cleared a couple of hundred thousand minimum. Big event and Ortiz is a top guy.

That is good money for a journeyman. They usually get less.

Allen is/was a gambling addict, he probably badly needed the cash and Saint Eddie took advantage.

Absolute joke... eddie hearns a cunt Maybe, but no one forced Allen to fight Ortiz for that money.

its pretty low for fighting luis ortiz, but he was just the last minute opponent and isnt supposed to be a future title challenger. But why compare it to Joshuas purse? Joshua sells the PPV, he is massively popular and therefore through demand deserves his purse.

What a way to treat someone who actually has more potential than some of these so called prospects. He probably had the best opposition of any heavy last year too, fighting White and the Ortiz. And not getting blown out despite training at fitness first.

Where is the outrage? I remember certain people on this site were up in arms when they found out Brand was only making 30 grand for Ward

11k after expenses for a guy with no name is unsurprising. If it was the UFC, a guy like him might get under 10k BEFORE expenses.

That's shockingly low but not surprised.

Thats disgusting.
