Isaac Dogboe vs Robeisy Ramirez: How much did Ghanaian boxer earn?

Isaac Dogboe may have lost his WBO Featherweight world title fight against Robeisy Ramirez, but he certainly came out on top in terms of earnings.

Despite the defeat, the Ghanaian boxer walked away with a purse of $475,000, while his opponent, Ramirez, earned an estimated amount of $400,000.

It was a close contest with both boxers putting up an impressive fight. However, it was Ramirez who emerged victorious by unanimous decision with scores of 117-110, 118-109, and 119-108.

While the result of the fight may have been disappointing for Dogboe and his fans, the size of his purse is certainly a cause for celebration.

The $475,000 figure does not even include any sponsorship money, TV bonuses, or pay-per-view revenue that he may be entitled to later. It is a testament to the popularity of the sport of boxing and the hard work that Dogboe has put in over the years.

However, it is important to note that Dogboe is expected to pay a percentage of his earnings to the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA).

As a Ghanaian boxer, he is mandated to pay a negotiable 5%-2% off his fight purse towards the development of the sport in the country. Last year, Dogboe paid GHC100,000, which is more than what he was expected to pay to the GBA as a development levy after one of his bouts.

This shows that he is not just in the sport for personal gain, but also wants to see it thrive in his home country.
