How much did AJ and Usyk make?

Unlike the first fight where Usyk earned a $4.2 million purse and Joshua walked away with a reported $17 million payout, this fight will pay much more.

Per reports, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is offering a massive base purse of $150 million for the rematch, with both fighters splitting it down the middle. Uysk had requested parity as a condition for the rematch.

However, still, due to the British boxer’s celebrity status, he could stand to earn more from fight bonuses and sponsorships.

Joshua’s first fight with Ruiz was a voluntary defence, and therefore his team were able to insert a mandatory rematch clause giving him the bulk of the prize money even after he lost the first fight in Vegas.

Usyk was a mandatory challenger however and agreed to insert a rematch clause only if the second purse was evenly split.
