KSI vs Logan Paul prize money: How much will fight winner take home after rematch?

KSI vs Logan Paul 2 takes place in Los Angeles tonight

KSI and Logan Paul face off ahead of professional boxing debut

KSI and Logan Paul will finally fight tonight as their eagerly-anticipated rematch takes place in Los Angeles – and both men are poised to make a pretty penny.

The two YouTubers are technically fighting for the ‘YouTube Championship Belt’ – a fetching red and gold strap initially handed to KSI by London heavyweight Dereck Chisora.

But there’s also a lot of money at stake, too.

Both men will earn a guaranteed $900k, per the Californian State Athletic Commission.

That’s only slightly less than Devin Haney, the WBC lightweight champion of the world, who fights Alfredo Santiago Alvarez on the undercard.

But it’s more than the British WBO super-middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders will earn for his fight with the undefeated Marcelo Esteban Coceres. Saunders – an unbeaten world champion who has defeated the likes of Chris Eubank Jr, Andy Lee and David Lemieux – will make just $750k.

The first fight between KSI and Paul generated a cool $11m – although that doesn’t mean the two men divided the profits 50/50.

This fight is expected to make even more money, with both KSI and Logan Paul able to boost their profits through various sponsorship deals.
