Fight Purse of Anderson Silva for his boxing match against Tito Ortiz
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will step into the ring this weekend against Tito Ortiz. As a result, let’s take a look at the fight purse of the Brazilian fighter for this contest. In his last few fights in the UFC, he earned an estimated average payout of $600,000.
Moreover, for his last boxing clash which took place in June this year against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the Spider took home $500,000. As a result, the former champion is expected to earn a similar kind of amount from this fight. However, apart from his guaranteed fight purse, Silva is sure to earn more money against Tito Ortiz.
Ortiz missed the 195 pounds catchweight limit by five pounds during the weigh-ins. As a result, he has to give 30% of his fight purse to Anderson Silva. Hence according to a report, Tito Ortiz might earn around $300,000 for this fight. So the Brazilian fighter will earn nearly $70,000- $90,000 from Ortiz’s payout.
Although the above-mentioned fight purse is an estimation of all the payouts they have earned from their last few matches in their respective careers. There is no official news regarding the fight purses of all the fighters participating in the event. Hence fans will have to wait until there is official news about the payouts of the fighters.
