RYAN GARCIA and Conor Benn go at it for the WBC welterweight world title TONIGHT – and the purse is an added incentive.
The Destroyer’s first fight under Dana White‘s Zuffa Boxing brand was a success as he beat Regis Prograis via a unanimous decision.
And victory over Garcia would see him follow in his iconic father Nigel’s footsteps by becoming world champion.
Not only that, but Benn is expected to take home a huge amount of money, particularly if he comes out on top.
But the purse that is being jointly funded by Saudi royal adviser Turki Alalshikh is reportedly being split 50/50, which means Garcia will also bank a whopping amount of money.
What is the Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn fight purse?
Speaking prior to the official announcement of the fight, Benn said: “I’d fight anyone. If they say, ‘Here’s $15 million,’ no problem. That’s it. But there’s no motivation apart from money in that fight [Ryan Garcia].”
