Amir Khan vs Kell Brook purses: How much did Brook earn for his victory?

After ten years of going back and forth, Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally put an end to their long-standing feud once and for all on Saturday night.

The domestic rivals finally came to blows in a jampacked Manchester Arena- where Brook would win emphatically via TKO in the sixth round.

Interestingly, Khan had trained with welterweight champion Terrence Crawford and his team in preparation for Saturday’s showdown.

Khan and Crawford met in back 2019 for the WBO title where the Bolton man would be stopped in the sixth round.

Brook trained with his trusted cornerman Dominic Ingle, of the famed Ingle gym in Sheffield.

This must have been the most satisfying moment of Brook’s career, having actively lobbied for this fight for so long, he was able to decisively prove he’s the better fighter in devastating fashion. Despite no title being on the line, the bragging rights earned by Brook on the night will last a lifetime.

Both fighters are set to earn a fortune for this bout, selling out the arena and achieving impressive pay-per-view numbers. Khan, who Brook admitted was the A-side of the contest, won a reported purse, per The Sun, of £5M, whilst Brook has a guaranteed £3M coming his way. Not bad for one night’s work.

The ex-world champions agreed to a catchweight limit of 149lbs- which is two pounds heavier than the official welterweight limit. If Khan or Brook missed weight, they would have had to pay a hefty six figure fee for each pound they were overweight.

Brook weighed in at 148lbs, while Khan was a pound lighter- coming in at 147lbs. Both fighters in the past have expressed their difficultly making the welterweight limit in the latter stages of their careers, so agreeing to a catchweight seemed beneficial for both
