    Anybody know what the purses were for this fight? It was a stadium fight gotta be Bellews biggest purse ever? Although it wasn't PPV so maybe not.

    I reckon he'd of got more for the clev rematch.

    Despite it bein a stadium fight think it only did 18,000.

    Thought it looked a little empty, thanks.

    The undercard was dross so not much money was spent there. Eddie claimed he made a loss on the event so I'm sure Bellew was still paid very well, although presumably lower than the Cleverly rematch because that was apparently a huge PPV seller.

    £1m was the total for the event so decent 6 figures for both I'd say

    I imagine the Clev rematch would've been his career best purse with it being PPV and having the big build up.

    Eddie mentioned that they only had 4 weeks to build the Makabu fight.

    Tony, from the Clev/Stevenson fights, to the movie role and this fight, must be a millionaire?!

    If not, he's certainly raked in a fortune nonetheless.
