No, the Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk boxing match will not earn more money than Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
When Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor faced off in 2017, their first fight—aptly dubbed “The Money Fight”—raked in more than $600 million in revenue.
Fury and Usyk’s much-awaited heavyweight event occurred at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. After tonight’s battle against Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury will walk away with a staggering £80 million, while the other world champion will pocket £35 million.
When Fury and Usyk square up in the ring in Riyadh, one of them will be declared the first undefeated heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. When arrangements for a match at Wembley in April could not be reached last year, it appeared that the fight was over.
Who Will Be In The Audience For Boxing Match Between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk?
