KSI claims he has no idea how much he\u2019s being paid for Tommy Fury fight YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI says he \u201cdoesn\u2019t even know\u201d how much he\u2019s getting paid to fight Tommy Fury, despite knowing how much his rival will be making. Influencer boxing events have become big business over the last few years, and are now a far cry from the upstart events we had when KSI fought Joe Weller in the first one. These clashes are now happening on professional boxing cards, in front of sold-out arenas, and to millions around the world on pay-per-view. After Jake Paul\u2019s recent win over Nate Diaz, all eyes are on KSI and Tommy Fury, as the two Brits will collide in October. For KSI, he\u2019s focused on the legacy side of things and wants to \u201cdo what Jake Paul couldn\u2019t\u201d by beating Tommy. While it\u2019s going to be a moneyspinner for both parties, he doesn\u2019t actually know what he\u2019s being paid for it. KSI \u201cdoesn\u2019t know\u201d how much he\u2019s getting for Tommy Fury fight Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was asked if this would be the \u201cbiggest payday\u201d for him in boxing yet. However, KSI isn\u2019t focusing on the money side of things. \u201cI don\u2019t look at how much I get paid,\u201d he said, much to the confusion of Helwani. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less. It\u2019s not about the money man, it\u2019s about the legacy bro. It\u2019s about trying to be the best. \u201cI want to prove to the world that Tommy Fury, a boxer who\u2019s boxed all his life, is gonna be facing me, KSI, who was a YouTube gamer and is also in the Sidemen, does all these random things and does boxing here and there. I\u2019ve done boxing for way less years but I have the tenacity, the self-belief, the hard work, and I\u2019m gonna go in there against the odds and beat Tommy Fury.\u201d Timestamp of 17:50 KSI added that he knows his team is getting paid for their work around this fight and that he knows how much Tommy is making, but not himself. \u201cWhen it comes to money, bro, I don\u2019t even know how much I\u2019m getting paid,\u201d he continued. Regardless of whether he\u2019s being wholly truthful or not, the pay splits for the fight will likely surface closer to fight night \u2013 but there\u2019s still a wait to go for that given it\u2019s happening in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
