Dillon Danis reportedly cleared more than a million dollars for his co-main event clash with Logan Paul in Manchester.
That’s according to the man himself who revealed the number during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. During the episode, Morgan presented a check payable to Logan Paul after Dillon Danis had agreed to give up his entire fight purse to the social media star in the event of a loss. Danis then revealed that the number on the check would be “over a million dollars,” giving us our first estimate of just how much money Danis made as part of the Misfits Boxing card.

Paul also took a swing at Danis while the BJJ specialist was on the canvas following his ill-advised attempt to wrestle Paul to the ground.
“There was multiple offenses I’ll be submitting my appeal to the commission today,” Danis wrote on X.
Considering he went for two very blatant takedowns during the final round of their boxing match, we can’t see the commission making any kind of reversal, especially for a non-professional bout that could have headlined a Fight Circus event.
