  • Purses for Tonight's Card.. Showtime.

    Bika $700K, Dirrell $500K, Porter $500K, Brook $200K, Wilder $50K


    WBC super middleweight champion Sakio Bika (32-5-3, 21 KOs) will be getting the biggest purse in tonight's Showtime fight card from the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

    Bika is getting $700,000 to defend his title against unbeaten #6 WBC Anthony Dirrell (26-0-1, 22 KOs), according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. Bika's adviser is Al Haymon, which would explain why he's getting paid so well. Dirrell is getting paid well too. His purse for tonight is $500,000.

    IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) is getting $500,000 for his defense against Britain's Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) in the main event of the card. Brook is getting considerably less at $200,000.

    Heavyweight knockout artist Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KOs) is getting $50,000 for his fight against journeyman Jason Gavern in their scheduled 10 round fight on Showtime Extreme.


    Here are the full fight card purses via Dan Rafael's twitter: Carson card purses: Porter $500k, Brook 200k, Bika 700k, Dirrell 500, Figueroa 270, Estrada 130, Wilder 50, Gavern 32,500, Linares 5K, Terry 6,500.

          Is this all Brook is getting? I'm sure he would have made way more fighting in the UK? Sounds like chicken change to me. How much was he supposed to get vs Alexander and what's his highest pace?

            Because he does not attract crowds.

              Brook would get more in the UK but he aint getting mad purse. People don't realise why Khan isn't bothered by Brook. Brook isn't a big name in the UK as Khan and doesn't generate near the money Khan can.

              Khan does like titles though. If Brook gets a title, Khan would fight him. The fight would be much bigger.

              I like Porter, he's a real fighter. Brook has yet to show me anything special at all.
