Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury: How much are they getting paid for Saudi Arabian grudge match?

Jake Paul takes on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia this weekend in a boxing grudge match that has been over a year in the making. But how much will each competitor be paid?

Paul and Fury were due to face off in December 2021, but the fight was called off due to Fury suffering a broken rib in training.

A rearranged date was set for the summer, but the British fighter again had to withdraw - this time due to not being able to get into the United States for the fight due to travel visa issues.

This time around, however, the fight is rubberstamped and ready to take place, with the two boxers doing battle inside the 15,000-capacity Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia.

There has been plenty of back-and-forth between Paul and Fury prior to the fight, and there is a lot riding on its outcome as well.

The winner of the bout will receive a world ranking in the cruiserweight division by the WBC, putting them in position to potentially fight for a world title in the future.

But how much are the fighters getting paid for a match that will be watched around the world?
