It is obvious that a lot of people don’t know how boxing purses work especially PPV.
There are base guarantees and disclosed purses, but there is normally way more money that is made from things like PPV buys, sponsorships, endorsements and etc.
For example, it was reported that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. were both guaranteed $1 million, but in reality, Tyson was going to make $10 million and Jones around $5 million.
What you are seeing those on social media was a typo.
Robinson and Paul actually were paid $600k apiece, not $600 per the California Boxing Commission. It is also possible as explained above they could make even more if they got a cut of PPV, merchandising, sponsorships and endorsements.
