Controversial singer Portable says he earned ₦70 million from his April boxing match against Speed Darlington, including a surprise gift from Burna Boy.
- Portable received ₦30m to accept the boxing match and ₦20m for winning it by TKO.
- Burna Boy added another ₦20m after the victory, bringing total earnings to ₦70m.
- The fight stemmed from a public spat over performance fees and personal insults.
Portable’s brash persona continues to pay off, not just in music but now in the ring. What started as online beef became a payday many entertainers dream of. Fans remain split on his antics, but few can deny his ability to monetize controversy.
Will more entertainers follow Portable’s path from music to the boxing ring for profit and spectacle?
