    Beterbieve $550K
    Yarde $350K

    They need better managers

    They're not household names. It's just the way it is.

    Unbelievable, all that training and putting your health at risk for that?? Tommy Fumbles fury and Jake Paul will be getting paid alot more and they're not even proper boxers?? Ridiculous! as annoying as Hearn is I feel like he'd be getting both fighters more money than that

    Makes me sick to think the youtube clown and Tommy Fury will likely make more.

    Wade Plem

    @WadePlem
    So.. I spoke to a source with DIRECT knowledge on the @jakepaul vs @tommytntfury fight talks this morning and they CONFIRMED that Tommy has now been offered 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS to fight Jake.. 500,000$ more than the first offer

    Those are strange numbers. I wasn’t expecting a Canelo payday but at least something close to a million. I thought these guys were more popular than that, especially Yarde, whose a pretty good self promoter.

    It makes sense that they’re making millions right off the bat though.

    Definitely underpaid considering the quality of the fight and the level of the combatants. Especially when you consider they'll in reality be lucky to walk away with a 3rd of that once everyone has taken their cut and expenses are deducted and that's if they've been smart enough to set themselves as limited companies for tax purposes.

    It's kind of crazy to think we have an unbeaten KO machine who stops everyone with an exciting style but outside of the true hardcore fans nobody cares about him.

    So, can we agree from a financial standpoint at least that Beterbiez's career has been mismanaged? The man is 38 and still hasn't hit the real big money.

    That isn't a great payday. Both deserve better.

    I feel sorry for these European stars, they deserve much better, if they were American they would be multimillionaires.

    I guess for Yarde the money didn't really matter. It was a free hit at becoming the unified LHW champion. If he won he'd be earning 7 figure paydays immediately.
