Purse Split Details for Upcoming Blockbuster Bout Unveiled
In a recent interview, Bill Haney, father and trainer of WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney, has shed light on the purse split negotiations between his son and Ryan Garcia for their highly anticipated upcoming fight.
According to Bill Haney, Haney agreed to a 55-45 purse split in favor of Garcia, indicating that Haney will receive a smaller percentage of the fight purse.
The news of the purse split comes as a surprise to some, given that Haney is the reigning champion and holds an undefeated record (31-0-15 KOs). However, it suggests that Garcia, who is a rising star in the boxing world, may have been able to negotiate a more favorable deal due to his popularity and marketability.
The exact fight purse for the Haney vs. Garcia bout has not yet been confirmed, but both fighters are expected to rake in significant sums of money. The fight is set to take place on May 4th, and is expected to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year.
