Meanwhile, Pacquiao stressed that Ugas is the champion of the fight and he even congratulated the Cuban boxer and his team. As for Ugas, he thanked Pacman for the opportunity to share the ring with him and he stressed that he is still one of the boxing champions in world history.

Many people might be wondering how much was the prize-money of Yordenis Ugas from his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Based on an article on Bleacher Report, there’s no specific amount as to the purse of the Cuban boxer but it is surely more than what he got from his previous fight.
