The boxing world is abuzz with news that has got fans scratching their heads. Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, two of the most formidable light heavyweights in the game, are set to clash in what many are calling a potential ‘Fight of the Year.’ However, their purse for this epic showdown is raising many eyebrows in the boxing community.
Word on the street is that these two warriors will be splitting a cool $20 million, with each getting roughly $10 million. Sounds pretty sweet. But at this level of boxing, this amount of money is basically peanuts, and fans are stunned at this revelation.
For reference, Canelo Alvarez recently made a cool $35 million against Edgar Berlanga. For his fight against Jaime Munguia, he made over $30 million. And this matchup was not even close to the level of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol. Both of these are undefeated fighters, and Bivol is responsible for one of Canelo’s two losses.
But, if the fighters have agreed to it, fans can do nothing. But whether you are Team Dmitry Bivol or Team Artur Beterbiev, one thing’s for sure – this fight will be highly competitive, and in the end, one of the fighters will come out with their perfect record tarnished.
