Manny Pacquiao will face Yordenis Ugas on August 21 at Las Vegas, dubbed ‘The Show Must Go On’ after the Ugas was replaced in Errol Spence Jr’s place. The name Pacquiao means history, and we have recently experienced his marvelous win against Keith Thurman in 2019.
Winning against a 30-year-old fighter and achieving the WBA (Super) welterweight title at the age of 40 is not a piece of cake. So, we can expect a massive clash against WBA (Super) welterweight title holder Yordenis Ugas. Besides, a huge amount of money will be on the table.
Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas Purse Payouts
Pacquiao is one of the greatest ring star in boxing history. So, a massive amount of purses is normal. The 42-year-old legend is expected to earn a guaranteed $5 million, while the total payout could be approximately $25 million.
However, the total purse depends on the PPV sales. So, this could be more or less $25 million. But this amount is not higher than what Pacquiao used to earn in his young and prime days. For your information, PacMan took home a $10 million guaranteed money in his last fight against Keith Thurman. So, earning $5 million guaranteed is not bad even in this world pandemic.
Further, it is assumed that Pacquiao will earn more than $25 million from the PPV shares as this fight could be his last fight. But this is not confirmed yet. If it is true, the fans will surely be looking forward to enjoying the last clash. Hence, the organizers can expect a surge in PPV sales.
On the other hand, Yordenis Ugas’ payout is yet to be confirmed, hence it is not revealed yet. But, if we consider his previous fights’ purses and payouts, he will also take home a hefty amount of money.
