Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury purse worth $200m claims Eddie Hearn YouTube: The Stomping Ground\/Associated PressEddie Hearn has claimed that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury\u2019s purse would be worth more than $200 million if the pair stepped into the ring together. Joshua\u2019s next fight could well be against Fury if the Gypsy King can beat Oleksandr Usyk on May, 18. Hearn, Joshua\u2019s promoter, has now shared details of just how much each fighter could make from the bout which he claims would be \u201cthe biggest fight ever\u201d. \u201cI mean, certainly, you are talking north of \u00a3100million ($126.15m) for each guy,\u201d he told Piers Morgan Uncensored. \u201cThe biggest fight ever\u2026 We would do alright. We take a percentage of Anthony Joshua. \u201cIt varies across what he earns. As a fighter starts to become more powerful, more popular, your relationship with them extends through a longer contract. \u201cDon\u2019t forget Anthony Joshua signed a life long contract with us three years ago [which is] very unique in the sport. He\u2019s the most loyal fighter\u2026 He\u2019s involved in the business, as well, which is the first time we\u2019ve ever done that with a client.\u201d Although the numbers being mentioned are astronomical, it will not be the most lucrative fight in the history of the sport. It is estimated that Floyd Mayweather Jr made \u00a3230m ($290m) and Conor McGregor \u00a380m ($100.9m) from their fight in 2017. Mayweather is also understood to have made \u00a3200m ($252.3m) from his bout with Manny Pacquiao, who in turn took home \u00a3100m ($126.13m). Hearn is desperate for Fury to beat Usyk next month as he looks to clear the way for Joshua and Fury to meet in the ring in what has been a highly anticipated fight for some time now. Joshua\u2019s promoter pleaded with Fury to beat his opponent after AJ knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round of their fight in Saudi Arabia last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
