Good evening
As ambition grew, so did speculation about fighters’ earnings. Although official figures have not been released yet, indications from boxing promoter Bob Arum suggest that Fury and Usyk will pay big. Arum’s comments last October suggested that Fury could earn more than $100 million from the event, fueling the excitement of fans and pundits alike.
High risk
However, it comes with great rewards and risks. If it is postponed again, the costs will be borne by the player. The stakes are $10 million, adding pressure to the big-time fight.
Final countdown
As fight night approaches, emotions run high between fans and boxers. While some may complain about the cost of the PPV, the importance of this historic event cannot be denied. With the support of many fans and millions of dollars, Fury and Usyk are ready to enter the ring, and the “Ring of Fire” will take over the world of boxing.
