Reports have said that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will share the hosting fee in Saudi Arabia ahead of their big fight. Recall that the country recently proposed $150million as site fee to host both boxers this summer.
According to ESPN’s Mark Kriegel, the site fee is upwards of $150million and if finalised as expected, each boxer will make $75million from the site deal alone, with the rest of the money (several million dollars) set for expenses such as undercard fights.
Mark added that the biggest site fee is currently $60million, and the fight involved Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua.
His words, “The proposed site fee is in excess of $150million.”
“Each fighter under that provision will be guaranteed $75million.”
“There’ll be another $3-5million for expenses and the undercard.”
“To put this in context – the biggest site fee I’ve ever heard of [was] $60million for Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua.”
WOW.
