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

    Dave Allen cleared only a £9000 ($11,100) purse for the Luis Ortiz fight after all expenses were paid. He took the fight on only 2 weeks notice.

    Anthony Joshua got £2,000,000 ($2.46 million) for fighting Eric Molina on the same card.

    An adequate purse for Allen or has he been badly low-balled by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom?

      That's shockingly low but not surprised.

        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.

          last i checked, other than minimum wage jobs, people are paid whatever they're able to negotiate. i was not aware that boxing was supposed to be a charity . . .

            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

              That's terrible tbh. Allen showed a load of heart in that one too.

                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.

                  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.
