Teofimo Lopez vs. Steve Claggett Purse and Payouts: Reports Reveal Seven-Figure Earnings for ‘The Takeover’ After UD’s Win Over Claggett

The advertised Teofimo Lopez vs. Steve Clagget fight ended in a unanimous decision victory for the champion. However, after witnessing the lull between ‘The Takeover’ and ‘The Dragon’, fans are now also speculating about their fight purse.

Lopez entered the fight as the WBO welterweight champion and as much more popular than his Canadian rival. So it stands to reason that The Takeover made significantly more money from this reunion than Claggett did.

Now, Lopez’s prize money for the fight may be smaller than what he got for his previous fight against Jamaine Ortiz. Despite this, he is said to have earned around $1.5 million from the fight.

Meanwhile, “The Dragon” Claggett reportedly earned only about a third of what his rival did, with $500,000 to show for it. dollars for this meeting. However, this was not their only source of income from the evening.

Lopez and Clagget get showered with PPV money

There is a reason why boxers earn much more than UFC fighters. Not only is their purse on a completely different level, but they also get a huge chunk of the PPV money.

In this case, the number of PPVs sold for the Lopez vs. Claggett fight has not yet been revealed, but reports put it at around 500,000, which means Lopez will earn another $3.5 million from the slugfest! Needless to say, this would increase his overall earnings to $5 million, or more than three times his guaranteed fight purse.

Claggett also earns over $500,000 from this fight and will be a much happier man despite losing the fight.

The Marc report predicted that he would make another cool million dollars, which would also push his income to seven figures. That’s $1.5 million he’ll take home.

But despite the win and huge prize purse, the fight sent some troubling signs for Lopez. After complaining that no one wanted to fight him at 140 pounds, he gave the relatively unknown Clagget a shot.

And while it was a fairly straightforward fight considering Lopez’s credentials, many believe Clagget’s back should have kissed the canvas more often.

At the moment, it seemed that if he decided to fight Ryan Garcia (after suspension) or Devin Haney, the boxer could get into serious trouble.

That said, he’ll likely be $3.5 million richer tonight than he was yesterday. So he’ll take the win, however it comes.
