Earlier this month KSI and Tommy Fury fought one another at the Manchester Arena in the main event for the PRIME Card. After months of back-and-forth, both fighters stepped into the ring to prove their mettle. The professional cruiserweight crossover event was billed as “Judgement Day”. However, even though going into the fight, Tommy Fury was the clear favorite, he couldn’t live up to the expectations and received criticism for his performance. ‘TNT’ won the fight via majority decision, though it was later changed to be a victory by a unanimous decision after an error in calculation was found.

Following the fight fans started going wild on social media and a lot of them called the result a “robbery”. Moreover, JJ also shared his dissatisfaction with the results on social media. However, one thing was clear- both parties made a lot of money from the event. However, it was still shocking when the news of the exact figure Fury made surfaced recently. It appears that Tommy Fury banked around $10 million from the fight. Here’s what the fans have to say about this shocking news.

Another fan shared his understanding that such huge pay is the reason behind Fury fighting the influencer boxers rather than a legitimate boxer. He wrote, “No wonder he doesn’t want to fight Viddal Riley.”

 

Meanwhile, a fan shared his dissatisfaction with the huge purse Fury made from the KSI bout. The fan wrote, “Imagine getting paid 10 million dollars to get hugged. Insane.”

 

Someone else chimed in and was just as shocked as everybody else. He pointed out, “Wtf, that’s people’s lifetime wages in one night.”

 

One fan claimed that he would be willing to get beaten up for that much money. They wrote, “One bum beat another up for 10m and did it luckily? I’ll get in the ring and get smashed for that money”

 

Another fan mocked the bout that took place between JJ and Fury. He stated, “Laughing all the way from the circus to the bank.”
