The winner of the fight will become the first undisputed welterweight champion since 2005, when Zab Judah became the undisputed welterweight champion. However, the boxing legend failed to seize the WBO welterweight title, becoming undisputed with The Ring title as his fourth belt.
Needless to say, there’s a lot at stake for both the boxers, who remain undefeated in their professional boxing career until now. With so much at stake, both the boxers are also being handsomely rewarded in what will mark Crawford and Spence Jr.’s biggest fight purse to date.
How much will Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. earn for their boxing bout?
According to multiple reports, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. will each earn a guaranteed purse of $20 million. This does not include their share of the PPV revenue.
Crawford has quoted in the past he was offered $25 million to accept the fight. Crawford’s biggest fight purse came against arguably the most lackluster PPV of his boxing career when he took on David Avanesyan on BLK Prime. Crawford took home a guaranteed purse of $10 million for the fight. It did not include his share from the PPV. The WBO welterweight champion pocketed $6 million for his exciting match-up against Shawn Porter.
Meanwhile, Errol Spence Jr. reportedly took home a comparatively meager $1.5 million for his title unification bout against Yordenis Ugas back in April 2022.
Despite being relatively inactive, both Spence Jr. and Crawford have looked incredible in their recent outings. In what is expected to be a razor-close fight, it will be interesting to see if we will see a rematch considering both the boxers have agreed to a rematch clause.
