While Fury hasn’t revealed the exact numbers, there are some reports that claim to know what the Brit was talking about. According to the Sun, ‘The Gypsy King’ is set to earn $25.3 million or £18.8million from the fight. Even though the number is indeed massive, it’s quite the drop from what he made against Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury took home around $114.4 million or £85million for his first fight with Usyk in 2024. In their first fight, the pair split a combined purse of $201.8 million or £150 million. As for Fury’s Russian opponent, reports have revealed that Makhmudov will make a career-high payday of between $1.5 million and $3 million. For the Russian, this is a huge pay hike since he made $350,000 or £260,700 in his last fight.
Conor Benn vs. Regis Prograis purses
For Conor Benn, most people already know how much the Brit is making from the fight. It was previously revealed that Benn signed with Zuffa Boxing for a staggering $15 million or approximately £11.19 million. Although there is some speculation suggesting that this amount could be for multiple fights. But there’s no confirmation regarding that.
Details about Regis Prograis’ purse, on the other hand, don’t appear to be publicly available. However, Salary Leaks claims that Prograis is set to make $3 million from the fight. Even though the number is unconfirmed, Sporty Salaries has claimed that Prograis previously made $250,000 or £186,200 for his last fight against Joseph Diaz. So, it’s a big jump for Prograis.
Unfortunately, details regarding purses for the rest of the fighters on the card are unavailable. But clearly, the main event and co-main event fighters of the card are making pretty decent money from their fights.
