Conor Benn's reported $15m Garcia purse remains an estimate after second-round loss

The Guardian reported Conor Benn was expected to earn roughly $15 million against Ryan Garcia, but said purses had not been disclosed. Garcia stopped Benn at 1:25 of round two.

Conor Benn was expected to earn roughly $15 million for his fight with Ryan Garcia, The Guardian reported, rather than a confirmed payment of that amount. The newspaper put their combined anticipated purse at approximately $30 million, while stating that the purses had not been disclosed.

Garcia stopped Benn by TKO at 1:25 of round two at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, retaining the WBC welterweight title.

A separate ESPN report linked an approximately $15 million figure to Benn's previously reported one-fight Zuffa Boxing deal. That figure does not establish his payment for the Garcia fight or whether the two reports concern the same compensation.
