Dana White's TKO Boxing League Pay Structure Revealed

Dana White's new TKO Boxing League, in collaboration with Turki Alalshikh and Saudi Arabia's Sela, has revealed its fighter pay structure, which mirrors that of UFC in its tiered approach. According to reports, unranked fighters will earn $20,000 for a 10-round bout, while those ranked 5th to 10th will receive $50,000, and fighters ranked 3rd and 4th will earn $125,000. Purses reach $375,000 for challenging and $750,000 for defending a 'company' title. Despite White's ambition to bring a UFC-style model to boxing, the pay scale has faced criticism from fans and industry veterans like Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya. The venture is supported by a $10 million annual management fee from Hualapai Ventures, Inc., highlighting White's continued expansion into combat sports beyond the UFC.
