Vergil Ortiz Jr. is set to fight this weekend against Ukrainian Serhii Bohachuk at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, putting his undefeated 21-0 record on the line. Ortiz Jr. has knocked out all his opponents so far and aims to keep that streak going. Bohachuk, known for his own punching power, has won five of his last six fights by knockout. Moreover, the fight will be for Bohachuk’s interim WBC world super welterweight title. With such high stakes, the fighters are expected to have significant purses.
When Ortiz fought Fredrick Lawson in January 2024, he earned a guaranteed purse of about $300,000. According to ‘Ready to Fight,’ Bohachuk’s largest purse was between $70,000 and $100,000 for his fight against Mendoza. However, both fighters could increase their earnings if pay-per-view sales perform well.
