Hey everyone, so the other day I got really into this whole boxing thing, specifically about this Lomachenko versus Kambosos fight. I mean, we always hear about these big fights, but what really goes down? How much money are these guys making? So, I went down a rabbit hole to find out.
First off, I started by searching for any news about the fight. I found this article from this boxing website, NY Fights, that talked about how the money from the fight would be split. Apparently, it’s not a 50/50 thing. They said it’s more like 60/40, with Kambosos, the Australian fighter, getting the bigger piece of the pie.
I thought, “Okay, 60/40, but 60/40 of what?” So, I dug deeper. I needed some numbers to put things into perspective. I stumbled upon some info about other fights. For instance, there was this Devin Haney guy who apparently made 4 million dollars from one of his recent fights. And then there’s Lomachenko, who supposedly got 3 million dollars in a guaranteed purse. Three million! Can you believe that?
But back to the Lomachenko vs. Kambosos fight. I kept searching, and I found out that Lomachenko is the favorite to win. The odds are -650 for him, compared to +450 for Kambosos. I’m not a betting man, but even I know those numbers mean Lomachenko is expected to win. And this makes sense! Lomachenko is a legend in boxing, and has an amazing career record. He is also an Olympic gold medalist! Kambosos, while having shown great performance before, is still an underdog when facing Lomachenko.
- Money Split: It’s not even. Kambosos is likely to get more than Lomachenko, around 60% of the total purse.
- Big Money: These guys make millions per fight. I mean, we’re talking serious cash here.
- Lomachenko’s the Favorite: Even though he might be getting less of the purse, most people think Lomachenko will win.
Here’s what I gathered:
So, there you have it. That’s what I found out about the Lomachenko vs. Kambosos fight purse. It’s crazy to think about how much money is involved in these fights. But hey, it’s a big sport, and these guys put their bodies on the line. I guess they deserve to get paid well, right?
This whole search got me thinking about other fights and how the money is split there. Maybe I’ll look into that next. It’s a wild world out there in the boxing scene, that’s for sure.
