David Morrell’s fight purse and career earnings
It is quite hard to find Morrell’s earnings during his initial career. Most of the fights were low profile and did not attract many eyes. This resulted in his early earnings going rather unnoticed and has made it quite ambiguous.
However, in 2021, David Morrell headlined his first event against Mario Abel Cazares at the Armory in Minneapolis. According to Surprise! Sports, the Cuban reportedly earned $350,000 for the fight, his highest then.
The 27-year-old then headlined two consecutive events in the super middleweight division. For his 11th April 2022 fight against Aidos Yerbossynuly, he broke his payday record to earn $400,000. He once again broke his own payday record when he received a $500,000 payout for his fight against Yamaguchi Falcao.
David Morrell made his 175 lb debut against Radivoje Kalajdzic last year in August on a Riyadh Season card. For the fight, he earned significantly less than what he was doing at super middleweight. According to reports, his purse payout against Kalajdzic was $100,000 while his opponent earned $50,000.
Against David Benavidez, this figure will surely be record-breaking as the PBC is treating the fight as a big deal. After all, one of these fighters is going to get closer to the undisputed title after the bout. The 27-year-old is now looking to finally enter the big leagues with his February 1 clash at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A win here will propel his career to new heights.
