Okay, so I wanted to figure out how much Claressa Shields made for her last fight. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be!
First, I started with a basic web search. You know, just typing in “Claressa Shields fight purse” and hoping for the best. I got a bunch of articles about her fights, but not many had the actual dollar amounts. A lot of fluff, you know?
So, I dug a little deeper. I started looking at boxing news sites, specifically. Some of them mentioned potential earnings, but they were all estimates and “maybes”. Nothing concrete. I felt like I was going in circles.
My Next Steps
- I tried finding official statements from the promoters or the athletic commission.
- I checked out boxing forums to see if anyone had inside info. (That was a wild goose chase!)
- I even scrolled and looked around social media, hoping for a hint.
Honestly, it was tough! This kind of information isn’t always public. Fight purses can be part of private contracts, and they don’t always shout it from the rooftops. It’s not like regular salaries that get posted online, I guess. so after spending hours in search, it finally paid off!
In the end, I find that it’s tricky to get the exact number. But, I learned that top-level fighters like Shields can make a good amount, combining the guaranteed purse, pay-per-view shares, and maybe even some sponsorship deals. I guess the exact number is a secret for now, but It’s a satisfying thing.
