Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney will defend his title once again on October 15th against former champion George Kambosos Jr. Haney won the championship from Kambosos Jr. back in June in front of a packed-out stadium in Melbourne. He comfortably dismissed Kambosos Jr. winning via unanimous decision.

The judges scored the fight 116-112, 116-112, and 118-110, all in favor of Haney. However, despite his victory, Haney only took home $2.8 million while Kambosos Jr. earned a guaranteed purse of $10 million. The Pay Per View share was also in favor of Kambosos, with a 70/30 split.

However, the fight purses might not be so similar in their rematch as the salaries for their second outing were recently revealed. It is reported that Haney will receive more than Kambosos in the rematch.

He will earn a base salary of $7 million while also bagging a hefty amount from his PPV shares, adding up to $9.2 million. Kambosos, on the other hand, will earn $6 million as his base salary and around $1.9 million, adding his earnings to $7.9M in total. Despite Kambosos earning lower than the last bout, it might be justified as Haney is now the champion and deserves more than the challenger.

This will be Haney’s highest paycheck in his career. He earned $3 million for his fight against Jorge Linares and about $2 million against Yuriorkis Gamboa. Despite earning millions from their fight purses alone, both fighters also endorse brands adding to their multimillion dollar wealth.

Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. endorsements

Haney is currently endorsed products of multiple companies. Some of his sponsorships include nutrition supplement company SNAC. Moreover, he was also seen promoting Dolce & Gabbana, leading up to his first fight against Kambosos. The champ has also done a lot of philanthropy work within his state. He has been part of various charities also once feeding the homeless young adults at the Covenant House Texas.

Kambosos Jr. on the other hand, does not have any major sponsorships. However, he owns his own apparel company named Team Ferocious, which has become widely popular in the boxing community.
