Pro boxer Tyson Fury is reportedly making $15 million for his WWE debut against Braun Strowman at the upcoming Crown Jewel event, according to a new report from the Daily Mail.
Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT noted that sources told him Fury’s pay is “in that ballpark” of $15 million.
There’s no word yet on if this $15 million figure is legit, but it should be noted that WWE claimed to the media that they paid Floyd Mayweather $20 million for his WrestleMania 24 match with Big Show, but the actual amount was $2 million.
As we’ve noted, Fury’s match with Strowman at Crown Jewel is said to be a one-off, at least for now. There’s been no word yet on Fury wrestling for WWE after Crown Jewel.
Tyson Fury will reportedly earn £11.9 million ($15m) for his date with Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel. [Daily Mail]I’ve asked around and I’m told “it’s in that ballpark.”
This is a man who gave away his £2.5m purse from the Wilder fight to charity. I say good on him.
