The disclosed fight purse for the upcoming Davis vs. Garcia bout is significant. The WBA regular champion is set to earn at least $5 million from his guaranteed purse, according to SportsPayout. Garcia is set to earn around half that with $2.5 million as his guaranteed purse. However, this is just the beginning of what the fighters stand to earn, as the PPV splits have not been taken into account.

Both fighters have agreed to a 50-50 split in the PPV buys. Moreover, with the price of $85 per buy, a million PPV buys will net around $85 million, which both fighters will split evenly between them. In addition, they could also earn anywhere between $15m-$20m on ticket sales. However, the two have recently made a bet staking their purses, with the winner taking home all the money.
