Undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) maybe promoted by Top Rank Boxing, but his next fight is expected to be on Triller PPV.
At Thursday’s IBF purse bid, Triller Fight Club comfortably outbid both Matchroom Boxing and Top Rank for rights to promote and broadcast Lopez’s fight against mandatory challenger George Kambosos Jr (19-0, 10 KOs). We’ll get to Top Rank’s side of the story in a moment, but the official breakdown is as follows:
Triller - $6,180,000
Matchroom Boxing - $3,506,000
Top Rank - $2,315,000
Per IBF rules, the purse bid is split 65-35 in Lopez’s favor, so that means Teofimo and his team receive a career-best $3,911,700 (which Top Rank will get a 20% cut of because its no longer the lead promoter) while Kambosos and his team get a career-high $2,106,300.
