Alright, so you wanna know about this Lomachenko versus Kambosos fight, huh? And how much money they gonna make? Well, lemme tell ya what I heard. They sayin’ the whole pot is about 9 million dollars. That’s a whole lotta money, ain’t it?
Now, they gonna split it up, see? Kambosos, that Aussie fella, he’s gonna get the bigger chunk. They sayin’ he’s gettin’ somethin’ like 5 million. Yep, 5 million smackeroos! Lomachenko, that Ukrainian fella, he ain’t doin’ too bad neither. They sayin’ he’s gettin’ close to 3.5 million. Still a good chunk of change, if you ask me.
But how’d they figure all that out? Well, I ain’t exactly sure, but they say it’s somethin’ like 60/40. That means for every 10 dollars, Kambosos gets 6 and Lomachenko gets 4. Sounds fair enough, I guess. Kambosos is fightin’ in his home country, so maybe that’s why he gets more.
I heard tell that Kambosos fella, he made a whole lot more in that first fight against Haney. They sayin’ it was somethin’ like 10 million! That’s a crazy amount of money. But then he lost, see? And in the rematch, he didn’t make as much. That’s how it goes in fightin’, I reckon. You win, you get the big bucks. You lose, well, you get less.
- Kambosos’s Big Payday: They say his biggest payday was 10 million against Haney. But this time, he’s getting about 5 million. Still good money, though.
- Lomachenko’s Share: Lomachenko is getting around 3.5 million. Not bad for a night’s work, eh?
- How to Watch: If you wanna watch this fight, you gotta pay for it. It’s on somethin’ called ESPN+, and that’ll cost ya about 11 bucks a month, or a hundred and somethin’ for a whole year.
Now, this Lomachenko, he’s a real good fighter. I heard he beat Kambosos pretty good. They say he landed way more punches. Somethin’ like 175 to 40! That’s a big difference, ain’t it? He even stopped Kambosos in the 11th round. TKO, they call it. Means the ref had to stop the fight.
So, Lomachenko won the fight and got the belt. The IBF lightweight title, they say. He’s a champion again. And even though Kambosos lost, he still made a good bit of money. That’s the fightin’ business, I guess. You win some, you lose some, but you always get paid.
Speaking of money, I heard tell Haney got more money than Lomachenko in that first fight. But that’s just because Haney took less money up front, so the fight could happen. It’s complicated business, this fightin’ stuff.
Anyways, that’s the lowdown on how much money them fellas made. It’s a lot of money, if you ask me. More money than most folks see in a lifetime. But them fellas, they risk their necks in that ring, so I guess they deserve it.
At the end of the day, it’s just a fight. Two fellas punchin’ each other for money and glory. And we, the folks at home, we pay to watch it. That’s how it works, and it ain’t changin’ anytime soon.
I tell ya, fightin’ is a tough business. You gotta be strong, you gotta be tough, and you gotta be willin’ to take a punch. And sometimes, even if you’re the best, you can still lose. But as long as you give it your all, and you get paid, well, I guess that’s all that matters.
