WBA light heavyweight title holder Dmitry Bivol spoke about the fee for the fight with the absolute champion in the super middleweight division Saul Alvarez. Their meeting is scheduled for May 7 in Las Vegas.
- Everyone knows that the rivals of Saul Alvarez receive almost the biggest fee in their careers. Let's be honest - was the financial issue a priority?
- When we tried to get this fight a few years ago, I said that we should not sell too cheap. But we should not put the fee in the first place either. The most important thing is to get this fight. Regarding the fee, we did not rest at all, so that there would not be a situation in which Bivol would not box with Canelo because of the fee. After all, this has never been on the news.
- Can you name the fee?
— I can’t say without the approval of the organizers.
- Good. Is this the biggest salary in your career?
— Of course, this is the biggest fee in my career. But it’s not so big that it turns my head so that I don’t think about anything else,” Bivol quotes “Match TV".
