Purses for tonight on ESPN: Beterbiev $1.5 million, Gvozdyk $1.5 million

[MulaKO]

Yeah. All I care about is their personality in the ring!

Gonna be a great fight! Two talented, undefeated guys putting it all on the line,

Exactly
But two #1’s going at it and people not happy
Just insanity imo

50-50 split in a unification fight?

Bob Arum clearly isn’t involved in this one.

Corrected - since Arum thinks Crawford is worth 50 against Spence when we all know that's a joke.

I am not the promoter so I don't know what they can pay them and still turn a good profit. As good as they both are and the risk they are taking fighting each other I'd like for them to get at least twice that much. Canelo is not taking near as much risk as they are for fighting Kovalev and he will probably make 35 million for that fight. If Canelo beats Kovalev as expected will he then take a real risk and fight the winner of this fight?

[LoadedWraps]

Good to see both of these fighters getting paid good money. This is a top level fight and they both deserve that money.

Credit to both for making this fight. It helps elevate the sport of boxing.

Source per Dan Rafael.

Also split even, as it should be when neither is the A side.

Why is it a joke when Crawford is a universally recognized top two P4P fighter and a three division champion?

It’s not like Spence is a draw. He isn’t.

Arum isn’t exactly asking for 50-50 against Pacquiao. It’s Errol Spence, he’s far from mainstream.

I wonder what these guys will actually take home once taxes/promoters/trainers etc get their cut.

Why is it a joke when Crawford is a 'eye test' recognized top two P4P fighter and a three division champion?

It’s not like Spence is a draw. He isn’t. Except that he is.

Fixed that for you. Because of course, Spence sold out his PPV, while Crawford was busy low-blowing Amir Khan and drawing crap numbers on his.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Good purses. It is a unification fight.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Spence-Porter did 300k buys LOL.

What a superstar!

This is actually a fair purse since most people don't know or care about these guys.
