Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen are reportedly set for significant paydays in their highly anticipated rematch tonight.
The boxing world was surprised when Fisher`s hand was raised after their initial clash last December.
Despite Allen landing the first knockdown of Fisher`s professional career, it wasn`t enough for him to secure the win.
The decision sparked controversy, with many observers, including celebrity Louis Tomlinson, claiming the Doncaster fighter was unfairly judged.
Now, Allen gets a second opportunity to face Fisher and potentially correct what he sees as an injustice.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that both boxers will earn well from this rematch, regardless of the outcome.
Expected Earnings for Fisher vs Allen 2
While the exact figures for the fight purses have not been officially confirmed, Eddie Hearn specifically mentioned that Dave Allen will earn double his pay from the first encounter.
Speaking on the `thestompingground` podcast, Hearn commented, “I felt you (Dave Allen) got good money for the first fight… You`re getting double for the rematch after losing… I believe it`s a lot of money and if he wins he has another fight after that for even more money.”
Similar to the upcoming rematch, the purses for their first bout were not publicly disclosed. However, reports suggested that Johnny Fisher earned approximately $375,000 (£282,000), while Dave Allen`s earnings were rumoured to be around $325,000 (£245,000).
