    Low hundreds imo. Before expenses are deducted. Enough to fund a Dubai Vacation.

    She's been very quite on her insta recently, normally she's ramming her glamorous lifestyle down everyone's throat, with a vomit inducing motivational quote added in for good measure, and of course the 400 hash tags. She had a post up with the love of her life who she's been with for two months but it's vanished again.

    She hasn't even been paid anywhere near to £60k for a fight.

    That figure range is fake, I've seen so many "celebs" touted as having that range worth....it's more like 100-500k.

    For those that don't know Troopz, even when you google him his net worth shows the same. Anthony Ogogo's shows the same depending where you look.

    Facts.

    Her career biggest was against Bridges, which I think she got about 50k from.

    Mate, you don’t know even know this guy lol. Could be anyone. Someone’s user name as Trafford is most likely a manc, a long way away from Brentwood.

    For all his obvious faults, Trafford's information and figures on Matchroom fighters is as reliable as you can get on a platform like this, he is undeniably well connected on that front, anyone that reads this forum regularly knows this.

    I've never understood the appeal in Shannon Courtenay. The only interesting and entertaining fight she had was with Bridges. That was what, over 2 years ago?

    She's not a talented or relevant fighter, will probably not win another belt even in the ridiculously limited pool of female fighters.

    I think mentally she's checked out of the sport, doesn't live the life anymore and has other plans for herself. I always saw her as someone who Matchroom took a chance on as she had a big mouth and could sell some tickets and basically fill a slot on a card for very little money/ She's not a total chancer or gimmick like Ebanie Bridges but having said that is a million miles away from genuinely talented and serious female fighters like Taylor, Cameron etc.

    You said Courtenay received £600,000 for a fight which was obviously BS.

    Just going with what I was informed, don’t get your knickers in a twist. It’s no big deal. Anyway you love BS, the majority of your posts are.

    To be fair to Ebaine Bridges she pushed Courtenay the whole way, and if it wasn't for the her eye swelling up from a clash of heads twoards the latter half of the fight it would have been far closer, although Shannon was getting that decision regardless.

    But Ebaine came off that with no excuses fought twice more, won, fought for and won the IBF title, actually beating a world champion for the belt. And she went and defended it in a grudge match and won via KO. Imagine that a world champion making weight and successfully defending her title first time. And your saying Courtenay is not as much of a gimmick than Bridges?

    I know we can go on about her get up for weigh ins and living on only fans etc. But to point towards the purses being discussed on this thread, she's needs to maximise her earning potential and she's utilising every asset she has in doing that.

    Courtenay tried to shame her for that, saying that young girls shouldn't be be seeing women lingerie at weigh ins, yet she'll constantly use filters in her IG posts, put up pics of her in a bikini in UAE and Thailand. Not for a second saying there's anything wrong with that, but the hypocrisy is ridiculous and she's to thick to realise it.
