Dillon Danis has claimed that he was forced to pay a "hefty fee" to his own promoter in order to make his upcoming boxing fight with KSI a reality.
The Bellator MMA star has been out of action since 2019 with a knee injury, and is returning with a fight against British YouTube star KSI on January 14 in London. And despite claiming that he will make in the region of £1million for the bout, Danis says that a large chunk of his purse had to go to Bellator and promoter Scott Coker.
Danis reckons that the broadcasters had a lot to do with the fee he's been made to pay, with Showtime in America showing Bellator fights. They are major rivals with DAZN, who are staging the bout between he and KSI as their second pay-per-view event under the Misfits Boxing banner.
