Katie Taylor vs Firuza Sharipova is here soon and boxing fans cannot wait for the event to commence, read on to know about the fight card purse, payout and salaries
After a very impressive year, Katie Taylor is ready to extend her winning streak to twenty fights when she takes on Firuza Sharipova. In fights against Natasha Jonas and Jennifer Han, Taylor was way too dominating for the former two fighters to handle. She defended her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring titles which is what makes her the favourite to win this one.
As for her opponent who hails from Kazakhstan, Firuza Sharipova will also look to end Taylor’s winning streak but that is not going to be easy.
Without any further ado, let’s take a look at the fight purse, payout and PPV share bonus right here shall we?
Katie Taylor vs Firuza Sharipova: Fight Purse, Payout, Salary and PPV Share Bonus
Katie Taylor: The Irish fighter displayed a very impressive performance against Jennifer Han in her previous fight. In 19 fights, Taylor has won all 19 with 6 won by KO. She is currently getting paid a guaranteed purse money amount of $500k. But if we add her earnings, the amount she gets for each fight amounts up to $1 million. This means Taylor will surely be making $1 million from her bout with Firuza too but this amount does not include earnings from pay-per-view salees.
Firuza Sharipova: Even though she lost in her debut fight against Sofya Ochigava in 2016, Sharipova has 14 wins to her name out of a total of 15 fights. Ever since her loss in 2016, the boxer from Kazakhstan has improved a lot and has set her winning streak that Taylor is vying to end. Firuza also beat Liubov Beliakova and Yuliya Chernoborodova which helped her earn the position to go up against Katie Taylor for the lightweight titles.
In what’s going to be her first major pay-per view, she will make a total of $275k with this sum including the pay-per-view amount as well.
It seems Taylor might be the favourite to win this bout but maybe it would be wrong to underestimate Sharipova’s abilities too. All we can do is wait and gear up for the big event.
