Hey everyone, so I got really curious about this boxer, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and how much money he makes for his fights. I mean, we hear about these guys all the time, but what are they actually pulling in? So, I started digging around the internet, just to satisfy my own curiosity.
First, I googled “Vasiliy Lomachenko” and “George Kambosos Jr.” and “fight” to just get the latest news. Turns out, they’re gonna fight on May 11th in Australia. Cool, a big fight coming up! Then I was like okay this is too generic let me try adding the word “money” to the search query.
I typed “Lomachenko fight money” into Google, and bam, a whole bunch of articles popped up. Apparently, this dude is pretty popular. I started clicking through a few of them, and that is when I saw some numbers. There’s talk about a fight where he was gonna get a guaranteed $1.2 million! A million bucks for one fight! That’s wild, right?
But then, I kept reading, and it gets even more interesting. There’s talk about purse bids, which is like an auction for who gets to promote the fight. And there’s this guy, Eddie Hearn, who’s a big-time boxing promoter, and he’s talking about how much fighters are making. It’s like a whole business behind these fights.
- I found some stuff about a fight he had with a guy named Guillermo Rigondeaux.
- Lomachenko was supposed to get way more money than Rigondeaux, like three times as much.
So, I dove deeper. I checked different websites, forums, and even some social media comments. People are always arguing about who deserves what, and it’s kind of a mess, to be honest. But it gave me a sense of how complicated this whole purse thing is.
My Findings
After spending hours on this, here’s what I figured out:
- Fighters like Lomachenko can make a ton of money, but it depends on a lot of things.
- How popular they are, who they’re fighting, and who’s promoting the fight all play a big role.
- It’s not just about the guaranteed purse, there’s also pay-per-view money and other bonuses that can add up.
Honestly, it was way more complicated than I thought it would be. But it was a fun little project. Now, I’ve got a better idea of how the money side of boxing works, at least when it comes to Lomachenko. It is cool to learn something new every day, right?
Anyway, that’s all for my little adventure in learning about Lomachenko’s purses. I hope you guys found it as interesting as I did!
