Sweet

Fury opted for a live body instead of an Otto

AJ by TKMFO 6

Good for them. Whatever it takes to get the fight done and that I don't have to pay (other than subscription fees). The fight carrds over in the middle east always seem to lack the fan intensity but I've come accept that through the pandemic.

Not guaranteed he didn’t. You are a dummy. McGregor got a guarantee of 20 odd million. These guys will make OVER 100M so it’s a lot more than McGregor made. Rudy, you should of ran down you're mothers leg, why did your imbecile father dash his balls in ya moms ovaries?

Prize winnings and sponsorship.

Most other athletes from non combat sports are more heavily sponsored in comparison to boxers. Usain Bolt once upon a time was the most sponsored athlete on the planet.

Amir Khan, Prince Naseem Hamed, Anthony Joshua are from what I recall a few of the boxers who have been sponsored extensively.

Khan with Reebok, Naseem Hamed with adidas etc and probably many more sponsors etc.

Note: But really this is all irrelevant, I don't really care 'Boxers at the very top of the game will always make big earnings, very small percentage'.

Joshua always seemed more willing to fight Fury than the dangerous KO artist Wilder hence the 15% offer that was always going to be refused. The landscape as has changed dramatically since with Fury removing Wilder and putting himself on equal financial footing with big earning Joshua . Money has spoken and the fight is on it's just a pity it has to be in a place that has little fight atmosphere and most fans won't get to see the biggest domestic clash ever.......BUT at least we get to see it...just hope the promoters are sane with their greed regarding PPv pricing as it could work out cheaper the buy a new T.V. if they don't see sense.

According to Wilder himself, he was offered more money to fight AJ than he got for fighting Fury.

Good, fury making some good cash. He gave his purse away to charity in the past.s After the rematch fury will be a rich man. These fights will be interesting. It will be interesting what route the winner takes and the loser takes
If fury wins what will he do or who would he want to fight after? Same with josh. Josh is more clearer, he'd like to dominate for next 7 years id guess

Have you seen his list of sponsors? All those numbers include sponsorship money.
