Danish eb.dk reveals that Kessler gets 7M DKK. Stieglitz 13-14M. Roughly $1.4M for Kessler and $3M for Stieglitz.
Great negotiating by his promotor.... He's also the champion and Kessler pays (perhaps dearly) for homefield.
Stieglitz defended his WBO title 5 times with Joe Calzaghe WBO type crap opponents glad he stepped up
They must have figured it was worth taking the short money to be able to get a title (he has to be favourite in this fight) and put him in better bargaining position against the others. With Ward and Froch being in the super 6 final and having turned down an offer to fight Bute this was his only option to become a "champion" again.
