UK Promoters / TV companies - Question about fighters purses

It interests me greatly too (although I can't answer your question)

Morales was on $1m to Garcia's $175,000 for the first fight. Garcia was on $500,000 for Khan.

A good win and a couple of belts means he now gets $1m to Morales $300,000.

Randall Bailey jumps from $100,000, as challenger, to $500,000 as champion.

And some fans think losing isn't such a big deal.

In most (possibly all) states in America the state commissions have to make the purses public. It's law under the Muhammad Ali Act. There's no such law in Britain.

Yup exactly - that also ties in with people still being surprised about why boxers do PEDs. 100k or 1 Mill? Potential difference between winning and losing.
