$15 million is the figure Fury is reportedly guaranteed to earn from the Ngannou fight, but his pay packet could total $50 million if pay-per-view sales eclipse 1.5 million.
Fury signed a $100 million contract with Top Rank back in 2021 and is a multi-millionaire from his stellar, undefeated career. And having never quite got to world level, Fury Sr only ever made just less than £4,000 from boxing - claiming he made more from his bare-knuckle exploits, where he once won £100,000.In his autobiography 'When Fury takes over", he writes:"Sometimes I idly speculate how far I could’ve got if I’d enjoyed the benefits of sponsorship, and career guidance and support, and hadn’t had to do two jobs just to keep my family afloat financially.
"I wasn’t making any real money from Queensberry Rules boxing; in thirteen fights as a pro over an eight-year period. "I made less than £4,000. Fighters often make excuses after they’ve been beaten, but some of my challenges were laughably one sided. Like when I fought Neil Malpass. It was my first ten-rounder, and at the time I had only had a handful of fights and experienced six two-minute rounds, while he had had over forty professional fights. I lost narrowly on points.
