The Problem Child has been vocal about his goals, stating in a press conference in August that this fight is a huge payday for him (as reported by The Independent).
Tyson, on the other hand, is set to make $20 million for his role in this historic matchup (via Mirror). These numbers come from Henry Cejudo, a former UFC champion and close friend of Tyson, who spilled the beans on the fighters’ earnings.
