That much?! LMAO!

Hard to believe Sexton has ONLY been around 13 years on the pro circuit. Fury by KO late. 2 bits each for the fight.

With several months notice and live TV coverage it will be a travesty if they earn those sorts of sums. Surely fwank and Eddie would have been interested in the British heavyweight championship for some of their fighters if it was so cheap ? I had assumed mick threw decent money at this....

Perhaps they have a share of the gate and TV. I've seen it where promoters kind of hedge the money in the fight. Bastards.

I think it’s peferctly reasonable for promoters to pay based off of what they are able to make from the fight. If they didn’t do this and continually paid the fighters more than what they get back then it makes for a business model that doesn’t last for very long.

Fair enough I just wouldn't expect the British heavyweight championship to be contested live on mainstream tv for like ten grand apiece or something like that. Sexton presumably got several offers and I would have thought they'd be decent.

Hughie is probably still in the red to Fwank after the poor selling debacle Parker fight.
No way did that even pay for Parker's purse. Lucky he got it up front :OhYes:

Hughie Fury gone from earning 750k in his last fight, to (using estimates in this thread) sharing a purse of 30k in this one.
