TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder will each pocket a guaranteed £3.9million share of the purse this weekend.
But the two heavyweights giants are then expected to rake in a total of £19.4million each once pay-per-view and ticket sales are totted up.

The unbeaten duo will settle their differences when they lock horns at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
But win or lose, the pair of them will walk away from the bout with a hefty pay cheque in their pocket.
Fury is set to earn more than he did when he faced the Bronze Bomber for the first time in December 2018.
It was revealed that the Gypsy King only took home £2.3million from his share of the purse.
But his historic comeback has led to a five-fight contract with ESPN and Top Rank – which is said to be worth £8om.
The Gypsy King’s net worth is set to soar above £100million this year.
WBC heavyweight champion Wilder got the biggest payday of his career when they last fought to a controversial draw.
It is reported that he was paid £3.1million from the purse – but Otto Wallin has joked he wants a slice of his winnings this time.
Fury needed 47 stitches above his right after his win over the Swedish heavyweight in September.
And the unbeaten American has revealed his plan to reopen the nasty gash before looking to do his rival serious damage.
With a trilogy already confirmed, there is therefore an extra financial incentive for both fighters on top of the WBC world title.
BT Sport will be showing the rematch live – but fans were furious that the price has been increased to £25.
