Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr fight purse: How much will each man be paid for huge Vegas fight

May 2024 · 2 minute read

TERENCE Crawford dominated Errol Spence Jr - and bagged himself a massive payday in doing so.

After years of public negotiations and trash talk, the undefeated duo finally shared the ring on Saturday night.

All the welterweight marbles were on the line at Las Vegas' sold-out T-Mobile Arena.

Crawford dominated a one-sided bout and it was finally stopped in the ninth round.

Both men still took home career-high paydays for their Sin City showdown.

Unlike years gone by, the Nevada Athletic Commission no longer release the fighters' guaranteed purses.

But SunSport understands both Crawford and Spence Jr's guaranteed purses were a minimum of EIGHT figures.

That means at the very least the duo's guaranteed pay was a cool $10million.

Their overall purses, however, will be significantly larger when their respective splits of the pay-per-view sales are factored in.

Fight fans shelled out $84.99 to watch the clash of iconic welterweights with one million projected buys.

That means the fight could generate $84,990,000 through pay-per-view sales alone.

Broadcasters traditionally take about 10 per cent of the PPV revenue, with the remaining 90 being equally split between the cable system and the promoter.

That works out to an eye-watering $38,245,500 - which could be split down the middle if Spence Jr and Crawford did indeed agree to a 50/50 split.

A 50-50 split would work out to both men pocketing an additional $19,122,750 to their minimum £10m guaranteed purse.

So all in all, they stand to take home close to $30million - provided the fight hit its projected numbers.

And they could very well double that incredible payday if a rematch comes to fruition.

Both men have the option to activate the rematch clause placed in their respective contracts within 30 days of the fight.

And barring injury, their second showdown MUST take place before the end of the year.
