Purses for Saturday night's vacant middleweight title fight at New York's Madison Square Garden: Gennadiy Golovkin $15 million ($7.5M in cash, $7.5M in DAZN parent company equity), Sergiy Derevyanchenko $4 million but he is guaranteed $5.2 million

They only release as much as they want to on these deals, so its hard to know everything.

But this is the first I read that they were paying fighters in DAZN equity, that does not look good at all. It had to have been in the contract they signed that they could do that.

If they’re paying in equity that’s very worrying. What happens if the stock falls and people attempt to cash in?

Fighters aren’t exactly long term employees, so are they willing to invest in the DAZN project long term? I doubt it...

Football players and basketball players are over paid why not let boxers earn the money

No they aren’t lol. They get paid a certain percentage of the nba revenue. Golovkin isn’t bringing in 20 million

Golovkin killed HBO , now he's trying to kill DAZN.

How in the world does a guy like Dereyevchencko get $5 million when he's never even won a world title , but Orlando Salido won 3 belt's in 2 weight classes & several fight of the year awards with a better resume then Golovkin & Dereyevchencko combined and him getting $1 million was considered "ridiculous" & "pricing himself out" , a tactic used by Bob Arum & Lomachencko to duck him.

The only explanation is these are the racist politics in boxing used against Mexican Fighter's.

Burn in hell S.O.B's!

Lol zero sense. They are overpaying him, thats is all.

There is a thing called popularity, like it or not, that is what drives people's money into these fights.

Why would he want to kill DAZN when he is investing his money into them. The reason theses guys including Canelo are getting these huge paydays is because DAZN was on a crazy spending spree. If they were around when he was fighting he would have made out OK.

Im all for top fighters making all they can, and SD is a top 5ish middle. That being said im REALLY surprised he is making 5.2 mil for this fight. I also REALLY hate getting into the different platforms and who is best or who is not, but this does look like they wayyy overpaid SD. They could make 2 "fight of the year" type fights with just the 5.2 mil he is getting in the smaller and lesser paid divisions.

Almost $20 mil for GGG v Derevychenko? Wow!!!

It’s crazy how overpaid fighters are nowadays but more to them i guess.

As big as Delahoya was, he made like 10 million dollars for a superfight with Vargas and that was considered as a huge purse.
