X Series Fighter Pay: What Will Danny Aarons vs Danny Simpson Be Paid at MF & DAZN X Series 17?
The MF & DAZN: X Series returns with another electrifying lineup of celebrity boxing matches, featuring the highly anticipated clash between Danny Aarons and Danny Simpson as the main event. Aarons and Simpson, therefore, will claim the biggest portion of MF & DAZN X Series 17 payouts.
Aarons, a renowned YouTuber and frequent collaborator of KSI, the founder of Misfits Boxing, is stepping into the ring under the promotion of his longtime associate. Meanwhile, Danny Simpson, a former soccer star, is eager to test his skills in the world of boxing.
Given his athletic background, Simpson is expected to have a physical advantage in this fight. With a more seasoned approach to training, he should be in better physical condition than his influencer opponent.
Aarons, however, will be banking on his age advantage to get the better of the former Manchester United star. He is 22 years old, while Simpson will be celebrating his 38th birthday in four months from now.
Now, let’s begin our X Series fighter pay discussion. While Misfits Boxing has been relatively tight-lipped about the financial details of previous X Series events, let's attempt to make some informed estimates regarding fighter payouts.
Simpson will be the main draw of the fight, since fans are curious to see how he does inside the ring. Therefore, he should get the most of the MF & DAZN X Series 17 prize money. According to the immense PPV potential of the fight, we believe Simpson will be guaranteed at least $500,000 for the fight.
Aarons, meanwhile, will get a smaller X Series payouts share. We expect him to earn at least half of what Simpson is making, if not more. We’ll say, Aarons walks away with a $300,000 check.
X Series Payouts: What the Rest of the Card Can Expect
Fitness guru HSTikkyTokky will also be making his boxing debut MF & DAZN X Series 17, and he will be taking on fellow debutant and former Love Island contestant George Fensom.
Gabriel Silva, the son of the UFC legend Anderson Silva, will also be a part of the evening. Silva junior will lock horns with Anthony Taylor for snatching away the Misfits Boxing light heavyweight title from him.
Aspiring actor Sami Hamed will set aside his big screen ambitions for now to follow the footsteps of his father, former featherweight world champion Naseem Hamed. He will face vlogger Jesse Clarke in a welterweight clash.
These are the expected MF & DAZN X Series 17 payouts for the rest of the card:
HSTikkyTokky ($200,000) vs George Fensom ($150,000)
