Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk: Heavyweight rivals set to win big

There’s no doubt that the event will be one of the biggest, if not the biggest event in boxing history. Plus, since Saudi has proven to be such an attraction, some chatter in the community suggested Fury could walk home with more than $100 million. So, picture this: Last October, Bob Arum was chatting it up in an interview, and guess what the hot topic was? None other than Fury’s take on pocketing a massive $100 million. Yep, that’s the kind of dough they were tossing around! 

“If you told Tyson Fury he’s set to make $100 million, he’d really get p****d off. Because he thinks – and I think he’s right – that he’s gonna make a lot more than that,” said Arum. However, if the fight gets postponed one more time, guess who will have to foot the bill! Yep, it will be the fighters themselves who will have to withdraw millions for their opponent. How much? $10 million, to be exact! 

With the tension building with each passing day, the PPV prices for ‘The Ring of Fire’ are finally out in the open. Some fans aren’t happy about the mere £1 discount for existing DAZN users. But hey, with stakes such as these and names such as these, the fight is poised to be a blockbuster hit. What did you think of the PPV prices?
