    He had a worth of 6.6 mil in march after 3 fights that year. He made **** all for the Wilder fight.

        Everyone gives a **** until it doesn't suit them. Like you gave a **** about Golovkins purse for Canleo and argued about it all the time.

        Facts show he made **** all. He turned down massive money for a Joshua fight. Why? Scared, a moron or both. Take your pick.

              You are making some math gymnastics to try to guess how much some fighters made... you don't even know the amount they made.

              That's totally different from saying that I don't agree a fighter should take a flat fee for a big PPV fight (that sold more than 1M) (even though there was no real offer any way).

              Learn to think mr "the scales are cheated".

                    TYSON Fury’s net worth went up more than £5million in his comeback year.

                    Fury was out of the ring for three years following highly-publicised mental health problems and his back-dated drugs ban.

                    But his return, highlighted by the draw with US superstar Deontay Wilder which will see a rematch for the WBC heavyweight belt in Las Vegas next month, brought a huge change in Fury’s financial position.

                    According to accounts filed at Companies House over the Christmas holidays and now made public, Fury, 31, had assets of £6.6m at the end of March.

                    That was an increase from his figure of £928,000 12 months earlier, with the fighter’s bank account showing a balance of £4.9m compared to just £56,000 in 2018.

                    Fury would have earned modestly from his first two comeback fights, the fourth-round stoppage of Albanian Sefer Seferi and then the points win over Italian Francesco Pianeta.

                    But the Brit earned an initial £2.3m from his share of the purse for the controversial draw at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, in addition to a cut of the pay per view rights.

                    That result and prize fund catapulted Fury back into the big time and led to a five-fight contract with ESPN and Top Rank said to be worth £80m.

                    Promoter Bob Arum has revealed that Fury and Wilder will split the purse next month, with PPV fees expected to be in the region of £60m.

                    The Brit has already cashed in with his WWE fights understood to have earned a further £12m and the 2020 accounts are expected to show Fury now worth in excess of £100m.

                    No one knows how his income was structured. The companies house accounts don’t come with detailed notes and Fury’s income could have been channelled through various vehicles.

                      I remember reading that it would take 275k ppv buys for the network to break even eg they only take the profits on everything over that.
                      They didn't do that much above that.

                      There's a lot of truth to this. In early 2019, Fury asked 'how much?' and was told '£28m' but didn't reply.
