Fighting Wallet: What’s the Money?
No one outside the contracts knows the exact number.
Early reports suggested a split around $184 million total.
Paul has since claimed the fight could cause $267 millionwithout evidence.
The reality usually lands somewhere in the middle. Either way, it’s the biggest payday of both careers. That part is not debated.

Why Joshua was inactive
This is Joshua’s first fight since he was stopped by Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
Since then:
-
Elbow surgery
-
Time off to reset
-
No intermediate battles
That dismissal is the one Paul may be referring to. Everything else leans Joshua’s way.
Weight Rules
A lighter Joshua usually means sharper feet and quicker delivery. It’s not always good news for the smaller man.
What they said (briefly)
Paul believes speed and angles allow him to control the fight and avoid Joshua’s right hand.
Joshua was clear. He knows anything less than a dominant performance is judged harshly. He is not talking about points or patience. He speaks of harm.
Interpret it as you will.
Co-main event
Baumgardner is the clear favorite. Beaudoin needs a career night.
