Does anyone know if its a standard amount or does it get higer as you advance in the tourney.......what are they being paid?
I don't think we've ever seen actual numbers per fight, per fighter. The total budget was large, but I've never scene a breakdown.
The only one that was made public was Kessler, who got 5 million Euro for the first three rounds (presumably he's forfeited a third of that). I'm sure everyone else's purses are/were lower.
I'd imagine Kessler and Froch got slightly more because they were the title holders. Good question though. Makes you wonder if Ward got the same amount for fighting Bika as he would've for his Dirrell fight. I'd put money on Dirrell and Ward getting the least amount when the contracts were signed. Taylor may have gotten as much as Kessler or Froch because of US name value. Just my ranting speculation...
