World Boxing Organization - Teams & Player Salaries
The average purse for a title fight sanctioned by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) in 2025 is around $750,000, while top fighters can earn between $3 million and $20 million per bout, depending on their marketability and the importance of the match. Major events promoted by the WBO can generate considerable revenue, with some fights yielding total earnings of over $75 million, including pay-per-view sales and sponsorship agreements.
A typical fighter contract with the WBO includes a defined fight purse, the number of title defenses, performance-related bonuses, and a potential rematch clause. For instance, Terence Crawford signed a lucrative agreement that guarantees him a base purse of $10 to $15 million per fight. However, his earnings can significantly increase based on pay-per-view shares and performance bonuses.
