    Per the California State Athletic Commission, purses for Saturday’s Wilder-Fury card:

    Deontay Wilder $4 million guaranteed, Tyson Fury $3 million guaranteed
    (both stand to earn more from their percentage of the profits from the event)
    Jarrett Hurd $1 million, Jason Welborn $30,000
    Luis Ortiz $375,000, Travis Kauffman $125,000
    Joe Joyce $40,000, Joe Hanks $50,000;
    Carlos Licona $30,000, Mark Anthony Barriga $25,000
    Julian Williams $30,000, Francisco Javier Castro $2,500
    Jessie Rodriguez $7,000, Josue Morales $6,000
    Chris Arreola $25,000, Maurenzo Smith $16,000
    Robert Guerrero $25,000, Adam Mate $2,500
    Isaac Lowe $5,000, Lucas Rafael Baez $2,500

    Remember that Wilder turned down $15 million guaranteed (plus a percentage of PPV revenue and other profits from the event) to fight Joshua?

    Hearn's offer had strings attached, such as Hearn having options on Wilder for several fights after the Joshua fight, so I can see why he turned down the offer. In the end it worked out for the best, since little by little the heavyweight division is being cleaned out. Joshua has beaten Parker and Povetkin while Wilder has beaten Ortiz and later on today we'll know the winner of Wilder-Fury.

    Lol the entire card is making less than Hearn was offering Wilder alone.

    Why on earth is Joe Hanks making more than Joyce? Damn people must really be scared of Joyce if he's having to overpay guys and reduce his own purse to get people in the ring with him.

    I'm sure both Wilder and Fury will make more than the guarantees, 350K UK PPV buys and 150K US PPV buys would cover those purses including what the network makes. So it was smart they had such low guarantees.

    Because Wilder didn’t really want to fight Joshua.

    Wilder taking infinitely less than the 'crack head' money Hearn offers. So let's finally see this for what it is, a blatant duck and cherry pick hoping fury is as washed up as he looked in his 2 comeback fights.
    The man is a joke.

    they are getting less than I thought considering how much Mayweather gets. Floyd is not worth that.

    Not sure what Whyte and Chisora are making, but Bellew got £4 mill vs Usyk as his guarantee that's about $5.2 mill. So Wilder still not making UK level money lol.

    Robert Gurerro fighting for $25k is sad. Dude blew his money from the Mayweather fight.

    Looking at these purses you can see why the undercard is so bad. They had no budget to work with.

    I thought J-rock would get more money than 30k, he is the #1 contender for a belt at 154lb?

    Wilder turned down more to face Dillian Whyte

    Whyte made more than this vs Parker

    Welborn getting only 30k vs Hurd is a disgrace

    Can't believe Welborn is taking the fight for $30k. After expense it'd not worth it.

    What is Welborn doing taking the fight on that money

    By the time he pays for his training camp, travel to America etc he’s basically turning up to take a hiding for free
