Zhang vs Joyce 2 Purse and Payout: Who will earn more in the rematch?

Estimating fighters’ purse is a very difficult task given the number of complications that go into it. Especially when the fight did not go to a purse bid. This rematch is a result of a contractual obligation in their agreement of the first fight. Thus, we have more information regarding their purse.

According to the promoter’s receipt submitted to the WBO on August 17, the champion Zhilei Zhang will earn $600,000 for the rematch. However, his opponent, Joe Joyce, will earn $668,644 for their fight. This is the official purse from an official document and there can be no speculation about it. However, they could earn more from sponsorships and endorsements outside the ring.

Therefore, despite losing the first fight and not being the champion, the ‘Juggernaut’ Joe Joyce will earn more than ‘Big Bang’ Zhang. While this may raise a few eyebrows, it doesn’t come as a surprise. The two parties would have agreed on these numbers during negotiations of their first fight. And since Joyce’s camp triggered the rematch clause, those figures applied to this fight.

So there you have it. This is how much Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce will earn for the rematch this weekend. What do you make of the purse? Do you think it’s a fair reflection?
