How much did Gervonta Davis make from the Isaac Cruz fight?

Gervonta Davis reportedly earned $1 million for his fight against Isaac Cruz, as reported by Jed Goodman of jedigoodman.com on Twitter.

Gervonta Davis succeeded in keeping his unbeaten record intact after beating Isaac Cruz via unanimous decision. Although ‘Tank’ didn’t manage to put Cruz down on canvas as he’s known to do so, Davis’ speed proved to be too much for Cruz, who struggled to land anything substantial on Floyd Mayweather’s prodigy.

From the opening bell, Cruz, with his trademark style, marched forward in order to bully ‘Tank’ but soon realized the difference in speeds. Towards the end of the fight, it seemed as though Isaac Cruz was edging closer towards a decision for himself but Gervonta Davis managed to keep his composure and landed more significant shots in the later rounds.

The judges scored the close contest in favor of Gervonta Davis with scores of 116-112, 115-113, 115-113. Davis retained his WBA lightweight title.
