Dana White's looming endeavor with TKO Boxing League in collaboration with Turki Alalshikh has the sweet science community talking with a new report providing further information on the burgeoning organization. Documents reportedly sent out to potential fighters in this TKO Boxing League have since been reportedly reviewed by Boxing Scene.
One of the interesting findings from the BS article was the reported TKO Boxing purse structures. According to Boxing Scene, TKO purses will increase in alignment with the fighter's ability to break into the top 10 of the company-specific fighter rankings. The report from BS was also posted on X by @jedigoodman which stated that a 10-round bout from an unranked fighter will receive $20,000.
A fighter ranked by the company between the five and 10 spots will net $50,000 and a boxer ranked by the company between the three and four slots will garner $125,000. Also, the reported purses for someone challenging for a company title as compared to someone defending a company title are $375,000 and $750,000, respectively.
