Tyson Fury set to pocket career-best £40m purse for Deontay Wilder rematch in Las Vegas

“If the pay-per-view hit two million here they would each get, I don’t know what Wilder would get, but my guy would get well over $40million (£33m).”

The Gypsy King signed a huge five-fight £80m deal with Top Rank and ESPN last year, which he means he has two more bouts to fulfil after the weekend’s Wilder rematch.

Assuming the Wilder fight’s PPV numbers can exceed an unlikely two million buys, Fury would likely make even more than £40m.

But Fury’s first fight with Wilder mustered just £325,000 PPV buys in the U.S. and they’re more than likely going to push one million this time around, despite the extra promotion.
