Alright, so I wanted to get to the bottom of this whole Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin purse thing. You know, how much money these guys actually walked away with after their big fight. It’s always a big mystery, and the numbers that get thrown around are wild.
First, I started digging around online. I figured the usual sports news sites would have some info. I checked out a bunch of articles and social media posts, but it was all just speculation and estimates. Some folks were saying Gervonta made like $10 million guaranteed, others were saying it was closer to $15 million. And for Frank, I saw numbers ranging from $1 million to $2.5 million. It was a mess, honestly.
Then I remembered that sometimes the boxing commissions release official numbers. Not always, but it’s worth a shot. So I went to the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s website. Figured they would be the ones to know, since the fight was in Vegas. I poked around their site, looking through documents and reports, but I couldn’t find anything specific about the Davis vs. Martin fight.
Next, I thought about the pay-per-view numbers. You know, the more people buy the PPV, the more money the fighters make. I saw some reports that the fight did pretty well, but again, no concrete numbers. It’s all kind of hush-hush. Probably because they want to keep the real numbers from the public.
I even tried to piece things together based on what fighters have made in the past. Like, Gervonta’s previous fights, how much did he make then? But boxing purses are all over the place. It depends on the opponent, the hype, the venue, all sorts of things. So that wasn’t much help either.
So, after all that digging, here’s what I’ve got: nothing definitive. It’s all just rumors and guesses. My best guess, based on what I could find, is that Gervonta probably made somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-15 million, and Frank probably walked away with $1-2.5 million. But that’s just an educated guess, mind you.
- Official purse information is hard to come by.
- Boxing purses are complicated and depend on a lot of factors.
- Most of what you see online is just speculation.
Here is what I learned:
It’s frustrating, I know. You’d think this kind of information would be more transparent. But hey, that’s the world of boxing for you. It’s always a bit of a mystery.
