Here are the purse information for the Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury rematch.
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder will rematch on Saturday night, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission has released their official contracted purses. As the commission released, the two heavyweights have identical disclosed purses of $5 million each, but both have $25 million guarantees, plus percentage of any PPV profits.
Apart from the lucrative salaries from the two headliners, the rest of the PPV main card also have pretty good purses, with three of the six other fighters earning from $250,000 to $300,000.
Boxing prelims with lesser known and less experienced fighters normally have pretty low salaries — especially for non-televised bouts — but this event will have a relatively expensive undercard as well. Half of the 12 fighters in the prelims will earn at least $20,000, with the highest paid prelim fighter being a 15-0 prospect with a $50,000 payday. On the other hand, the two lowest paid fighters ($4000 and $5000) have just three and four bouts in total in their careers, respectively.
