MF & DAZN X Series 17 Purse: Full Payouts Reportedly Revealed for Every Fighter on the Misfits Card

Misfits and DAZN Boxing are back together with their X Series fight card, featuring an electrifying lineup of celebrity boxing. While the UFC takes a brief break today, MF & DAZN X Series 17 has taken over Dublin with another explosive installment of the X Series at the 3 Arena.

The main event went down between Danny Aarons and Danny Simpson, and subsequently, the duo is expected to bag the biggest portion of the payouts. 22-year-old YouTube sensation, Aarons who is also a close associate of KSI – the founder of MisFits boxing – took on the former Manchester United player, Danny Simpson. While Simpson does have an advantage in athleticism, when it comes to age, his YouTuber counterpart definitely had a considerable upper hand, being the younger of the two.

As a matter of fact, the 38-year-old former footballer, Simpson was undoubtedly the main draw of the fight with fans curious enough to see how he does inside the ring. As a result of this, he is expected to make the most of the event. Now, according to NYfights.com, the immense PPV potential of the fight is supposed to warrant Simpson at least $500,000 for the fight.

Meanwhile, Aarons is expected to go home with a smaller payout share. The 22-year-old is most likely walking off with at least half of what Simpson is making – with a $300,000 check.
