Benn’s $15M Paycheck Backed by SELA, Not UFC Funds, TKO Says
TL;DR Summary
TKO Group Holdings executive Mark Shapiro said Conor Benn’s reported $15 million one‑fight deal with Zuffa Boxing isn’t paid by TKO; the purse is financed by SELA, the Saudi-backed backer. Benn’s signing is described as a one‑fight plan with potential marquee superfights in 2026, with White and Khan leading the effort and Benn not expected to fight regularly on Zuffa Boxing at this time.
