Based on the IBF’s rules for final eliminators, the highest rated fighter (ranked 3rd or below) receives 60% of the purse split, with the lower ranked fighter only receiving 40%.
If Hrgovic was rated 1st or 2nd by the IBF, he’d be entitled to 75% of the purse split if he was to engage in a final eliminator against a lower ranked fighter (who’d only receive 25%).
Basically, is it reasonable for fans to expect the likes of Hunter, Parker and Ortiz to take pay cuts and receive a smaller purse than a commercially unpopular anonymous fighter like Filip Hrgovic?
