There's a very good chance that on Saturday, a day on which ESPN is broadcasting a middleweight world title fight and Showtime is airing a super welterweight world title fight, that the guy who will make more money than any of those boxers is Dillon Danis. In case you're not one of Danis' 3.
5 million followers on Instagram or 1 million followers on X , he is a one-time MMA fighter who went 2-0 against low-level opposition in Bellator but hasn't fought since June 19, 2019.
He changed it up and turned himself into"Money May," and created a character that resonated. He went on to become the biggest pay-per-view seller in boxing history and earned more money than any fighter ever. Pro wrestling has changed dramatically over the years, but that plan has worked as reliably as looking west to see the sunset.
Given Danis' propensity for pulling out of fights, it's no guarantee that he actually gets in the ring with Paul. Paul and Danis cleverly put a clause in the fight agreement in which Danis pays a $100,000 penalty if he doesn't fight without a recognized physician saying he's physically unable. They then brought ex-UFC star Mike Perry in to serve as the so-called back-up if Danis doesn't fight.
Fury, though, has the last name, and his father, John, is even more unpredictable than Johnny Rodz, the WWF star from the 1970s. On Thursday, for no seeming reason, John Fury was throwing combinations vigorously and then head butted a wall. This was after he said he'd only fight again if he could get a bout with Mike Tyson. At 57,"Iron" Mike is two years younger than"Big" John.
