When researching Amir Khan’s earnings as a professional boxer, we found fight purses for fourteen of his fights. However, it’s important to note that the figures in the table above mostly refer to a base or guaranteed purse, not necessarily his total compensation. Khan may have earned additional income from Pay-Per-View shares, and to the best of our knowledge, only two figures above include such compensation.

According to the data, Amir Khan earned at least $44.1 million from these bouts, with his fight against Canelo accounting for roughly 25% of the total. In an interview on The Stomping Ground podcast in November 2024, Khan said his total purse from the 2016 bout with Canelo Alvarez was over $11 million. According to reports, this comprised a $2 million base purse, plus a share of the PPV revenues, which added another $9 million.

Bear in mind that the $44.1 million total we arrived at covers only the fights for which we found available information. In the past, Khan has claimed he’s earned over $80 million from his fights, which makes sense when you remember he’s fought 40 pro bouts, many of which included PPV bonuses.

As for the Brit’s disclosed fight purses, here’s what we know.

Early Career Fight Purses

Between 2009 and 2015, Amir Khan earned anywhere between $500,000 and $1.5 million per fight, though the median typically fell between $900,000 and $1.1 million. When he beat Marco Antonio Barrera in March 2009 to win the WBO Inter-Continental Light title, Khan earned just $500,000. Over the next year or two, notable wins against Paul Malignaggi and Marcos Maidana earned him $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

When Khan fought Zab Judah for the IBF World Super Light title at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in 2011, he was guaranteed $1.07 million. Additional highlights for the period include $1.1 million for his loss to Lamont Peterson, and $1.5 million apiece for his WBC Silver Welter title win and defense against Luis Collazo and Chris Algieri.

Peak Career Fight Purses

Things get slightly more interesting towards the end of Amir Khan’s boxing career, as he began earning significantly more money per fight. We’ve already mentioned his compensation from the 2016 fight with Canelo, which at the time was exponentially higher than any sum he’d received before.

Between 2019 and 2022, Khan had several high-paying fights. The first of which was his bout with Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden in April 2019. Amir was dropped in the first round, and the fight was ultimately stopped after a low blow in round six. The fight was ruled a victory for Crawford, but despite the loss, Khan earned a $7 million purse. Several months later, Amir beat Billy Dib to win the WBC International Welter title, earning him another $7 million.

Finally, in what would be the final fight of his career, Khan faced Kell Brook at the Manchester Arena in February 2022. He was guaranteed a base purse of $3 million, but reportedly earned as much as $8 million after additional compensation from the UK PPV share.

Real Estate

Amir Khan previously owned a 3,500-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion in Bolton, England. The ground floor of the property is dedicated to fitness and recovery, featuring an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, as well as an attached gym, changing room, shower, and steam room. Khan listed the home for sale at £1.5 million in 2018, although it’s unclear whether a sale was registered.

One of Khan’s, how should we say, not-so-wise investments was the 45,000-square-foot wedding venue he built in Bolton. Named The Balmayna, this Dubai-style building was built exclusively for Khan’s wedding and events business. However, in 2024, just three months after the venue hosted its first wedding (according to The Sun), he put the property on the market for £12.5 million. Locals claimed that the building opposite The Balmayna was a known fly-tipping area, and there was confusion about why he chose such a location for his venue. We have to admit it’s a rather odd location for such an extravagant venue, given that the surrounding buildings are either mechanics, housing, or fast-food shops.

Philanthropy

Amir created the Amir Khan Foundation to support numerous charitable organizations, including the Water Wells project in Africa and Asia, orphanages in the Gambia, and the Shilpa Shetty Foundation. He was also named an ambassador for the NSPCC, a role he takes very seriously.

Summary

Amir Khan is a prime example of a true boxing champion. He does not let his victories go to his head and remains humble about his accomplishments. He truly believes in giving back to the sport and his community, which has made him one of the best role models for future boxers.
