Stephen Espinoza says on Twitter that athletic commission purses are inaccurate.

Joshua isn't a US fighter and DAZN aren't a US company. Joshua's purse won't be put through the US system.

If you work in the US, you have to pay taxes. Is it different for fighters from overseas?

In the US, you have to tell the commission what your purse is because you have to pay a percentage of your purse to the commission.

His purse will be coming from DAZN who aren't a US company. Joshua purse will be taxed in the UK.

I remember people saying Pac, a non-citizen boxer, owed money to the IRS from his fights. I'm ignorant in this area.

Got it. I didn't know that.

No, you have it right. It's the other guy that's ignorant in this area.

All I know is everyone here is taxed, no exceptions.

Pacquiao is different. His money went through the US system. PPV/Network/Promoter. The US can only tax money made in the US or if you're a citizen. Joshua and his purse are neither.

The fight is taking place in the US. The money is made in the US. Americans pay subscription to DAZN.

Anyway, it's not important to me, either way. Just wondered.
