The Purse Bid for the fight between the World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight super champion Arsen Goulamirian (26-0, 18 KOs) and the mandatory challenger/Gold champion Aleksei Egorov (11-0, 7 KOs) will be held today after the deadline for negotiation ordered by the Championships Committee has expired.
The distribution of the purse will be 65% for Goulamirian as super champion, while Egorov will keep 35% as holder of the gold title.
