BoxRec

After watching the fight with a few mates, i was asked how much each fighter would of got paid, got me thinking, id guess Gomez must of got around £35-£40k (at a guess)
Khan i havent a clue, does anyone know ??

Reckon you are about right for Gomez
Prob more complex with Khan, wouldn't suprise me if he is not on a fight by fight purse at this stage of his career, he had a big signing on fee, prob gets paid weekly.
Either way he would be on much more, more than Witter had for any WBC defences

£100k for the fight itself for khan before he got the belt, with a domestic title i think it went up to £150k.

Then endorsements from Reebok etc will double it.

Not bad for a commonwealth title when you consider the highest for the British was 40k for Reid and 60k for Froch.

I was watching it with two of my friends who are both pro boxers, and they said they thought Gomez would be on a lot more, nearer the 70k mark? i hope so as he deserves it, With it being a 10,000 sell out, live on itv and for a title and with micheal agreeing to behave in the run up ect the thought purse would be between 60-70k hope so guy deserves it.

I reckon it would be closer to 30k than 40k

Closer to £25,000 Id think.

I thought I'd heard £25k from someone, but I can't recall where. :-/

Do you reckon only 150k for Khan? Given he was pulling in 10,000-20,000 from the start I would have thought it would be a tad bit more. I reckon if he resigns with Warren it will probably be 500k a fight.

Thought I read someone quote Gomez as saying he couldn't believe FW was giving him 30K to hand Khan his head...

I estimated 20-30k, which is a lot, especially when you consdier judah got about 100k for his unification fight with spinks. Only a select few will know for sure.

Now this might sound like a dumb question but....

which belts does Amir hold, Is one the wbu?

wbo intercontinental and c'wealth isnt it?

It looks like Boxrec might be wrong on this one. It states he currently holds the Commonwealth title and won the Intercontinental WBO belt but I though he also won an IBF Intercontinental Light Welter belt against Drilzane.

is he not on a 12 month ban on the British due to pulling out of purse bids with thaxton

Lol, serious? How can they borrow a belt. No wonder ITV want nothing to do with them!

Emma, brit title is being fought by Murray and Meager on July 11th.

Calzaghe and hatton (i.e. Frank warrens boys) did a pretty good job..

Well Calzaghe holding on to the WBO deccoration for years without fighting a unification managed to deny us of some good matches ditto Hatton droping the British title.

I really think that Khan should go for the winner of the Meger Murray match. He's not going to win a world title any time soon and he would be in a competitive fight with a actual proper title on the line.

He should definately go for the British Title. Think about what it would do for his image. He would probaaly get 's*cked off' even more than he does already

It's a shame he said that Khan has "no power". That doesn't bode well for Khan.
