Anyone have any idea how much these guys are making for this fight? I've read a couple of articles mentioning how expensive this fight was to make, so I presume they are both getting quite a lot.
Seen Dan Rafael tweet Garcia 1.5 Matthysse 785k. Although read on here that Lucas purse has been topped up to a million. Too expensive I think on a normal bill but on this bill really easy
To me the best undercard fight on a major bill in many a year. Fans ask why undercard fights are generally weak when the elite fighters are on show it simply comes down to them taking such a large cut of the tv/promoters budget there simply isn't the spare cash left for good undercards esp in the USA. Obviously this event is going to do record numbers in the USA but most hardcore fans I know are looking forward to this fight as much as the main event.Can't wait!
They had to get new sponsorship to help pay for undercard. Danny denied 5 mil but said he was getting paid real good for this.
This is one of the top fights that can be made in Boxing right now...probably top of my wish-list, absolutely buzzing for this!
originally they announced 3 mil Garcia 1 mil Mattysse in any case most expensive fight in history to be an undercard in all of combat sports
