The rematch between Artur Beterbiev is here, with the two best light-heavyweight fighters on the planet one again putting it all on the line in this undisputed clash.

This stellar card was once again put on by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, who’s involvement in boxing has brought a new lease of life to the sport. Along with that new lease of life and the big fights he is providing fans, His Excellency is also paying fighters extremely handsomely.

Both Dmitry Bivol’s net worth have increased massively since fighting in Saudi Arabia, with Turki Alalshikh’s bumper Riyadh Season cards providing fighters with career high paydays and extremely lucrative purses.

With that being said, Beterbiev and Bivol are once again expected to pocketed huge amounts of money for their rematch on Saturday, February 22nd in the Saudi Arabian desert.

Individual figures are yet to be officially disclosed for each fighter, but both men are expected to earn more than they did for their first encounter back in October. In fact, there have been some reports circulating that both fighter may even earn a purse twice the size of the first bout.

The purse split for the first fight back on October 12th was 50-50. Neither man earned more money than the other. Even though it was Artur Beterbiev who got his hand raised in victory, he didn’t receive any additional prize money for his triumph.

The best boxing betting sites have priced the undefeated Beterbiev as the betting favourite for the rematch, which comes as no surprise given he edged the first fight. That being said, a lot of fans felt that Bivol won the first contest, but he has been listed as a marginal underdog for their second dance this weekend.

How Much Did Beterbiev & Bivol Earn In The First Fight?

For the rematch on October 12th, it has been widely reported that Artur Beterbiev equally split the $20 million fight purse. This means that both Russian fighters earned a reported $10m for their 12 round undisputed world light-heavyweight title fight four months ago.

This means that both Tyson Fury got for their two fights in Saudi Arabia.

There was a guarantee of £150 million on the table for the Usyk vs Fury rematch in December. That being said, heavyweight fighters are always paid more, as well as the fact both are bigger draws worldwide, thus generating more money.

Following on from their $10m purse for the first fight, both Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev are expected to earn even more lucrative purses second time around. For the time being, exact prize money splits and purse figures are yet to be disclosed.
