Prince Charles is being paid 8.5 million dollars for Joshua fight

[ukbox]

I wouldn't be surprised if hearn pays for a bs stoppage. He then gets an easy rematch then onto whyte...

[Robbie Barrett]

Froch-Groves only made £10 mil between them and they sold 77k tickets and 900k PPV, we are supposed to believe Joshua/Martin are splitting the same amount?

[ianjamsie]

Martin is the champ.

He gets the bigger cut.

[b00g13man]

Yikes!! If true, taking the fight was a no-brainer.

[LacedUp]

yes and it's 60/40 Charles

Source?

I heard Joshua was getting paid much more than Martin as he should.

[SeekDaGreat]

Let's go Martin, you got this. The title stays in Muva

Joshua getting that ass kicked!!!!

Why should he?

Joshua is a 15 fight novice getting an early shot.

Okay Joshua is way better and brings all the support. That is not how it works

It is exactly how it works.

Is Martin selling a single ticket for this fight? Are showtime buying this fight because of Joshua or because of Martin? (Joshua deal announced before Martin iirc.

Joshua brings all the money, the TV, tickets etc etc. Martin brings a belt.

He's not taking the lion's share. no way.

Here's what I found: Says Joshua's gonna get GBP5mill and Martin will get GBP 750k.

I don't see Martin pulling 8 million for this fight, and sure as hell he aint pulling the lion's share. He was literally an absolute nobody 5 months ago when IBF stripped Fury, and Glazkov tore his ACL. Even if you look at that Glazkov vs. Martin purses, Martin was getting 250k for that fight while Glazkov was getting $520k.

Joshua's last purse = GBP 3M, Martin's last purse = $250k.

Unless you can provide any semblance of a decent source, I'm calling a big fat BS on this one.

It all makes sense

But Martin didn't need to take the fight, and Hearn saw an easy opportunity to grab a title for Joshua. Whilst true Martin may not make as much with most other opponents, he'd be eyed up by many
