On December 23, boxing fans are set to experience one of the most stacked cards in heavyweight boxing history. One of these fights will be Deontay Wilder fighting against Joseph Parker and the people want to know how much they are getting from that purse. Wilder is the heavy favorite to win this fight over Parker, he is the one with the better record and eh recently revealed he would be making around $40 million for his confirmed two fights against Anthony Joshua in 2024. No official information on how much Wilder or Parker are making has been shared by the ‘Day of Reckoning’ organizers. However, we can make an educated guess simply by looking at their recent history.
Deontay Wilder’s recent earnings and predicted purse
The Alabama native has earned nearly $100 million throughout his career, $90 million from that were earned from his last six fights alone. Before fighting Tyson Fury, Wilder was earning around $1 million per fight but then his life changed. Despite not winning a isngle fight from that trilogy, Wilder earned $10 million for the first fight against Tyson Fury and a combined $40 million for the next two fights against the ‘Gypsy King’. Since then, he only charges between $10 and 20 million per fight. According to these estimates, Deontay Wilder’s predicted purse money will be around $10 million.
Joseph Parker’s predicted purse money
Given that Joseph Parker hasn’t had the same career as Deontay Wilder, he will definitely earn much less money from this purse. According to estimates, Parker will be earning between $2-3 million for this fight against his much more famous and successful opponent. Although this fight may not be the most interesting from an already stacked card, it definitely adds excitement to the event.
