Top Rank Boxing brings its next PPV to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, April 30th. The nine-bout PPV will get started at 9 p.m. ET and will air on both ESPN and ESPN+. The main event for the evening will feature Shakur Stevenson taking on Oscar Valdez for the WBC and WBO Super Featherweight Titles.

Stevenson is set to come away with a lot of money from this PPV, per Total Sportal. He was guaranteed $500,000 for the fight while Valdez will earn a base of $375,000. The competitors will also share the PPV revenue with 70% going to Stevenson and 30% going to Valdez. In total, if PPV revenue comes in as expected, Stevenson can come away with a cool $1 million while Valdez will max out at a take-home of $500,000.

On the chance that PPV sales don’t go how they are expected, Stevenson’s max payday would cap around $700k while Valdes would bring in $450k.
