The alleged prize money paid to Portable and Speed Darlington for their recently concluded celebrity boxing match has surfaced online, sparking widespread conversation across social media platforms.
Details of the payments began circulating after a post was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), where the amounts reportedly earned by both artists were revealed by an insider.
Before the highly anticipated fight, the platform responsible for organizing the celebrity boxing event had earlier disclosed that a handsome sum of money would be awarded to the winner, as part of an initiative to empower and inspire the entertainment community and its followers.
The boxing showdown took place at midnight on April 18th, 2025, and witnessed Portable securing victory over Speed Darlington. The fight itself generated a lot of drama, with Speed Darlington sustaining a fractured arm during the intense bout.
Following the loss, Speed Darlington went on to make a shocking allegation, claiming that Portable resorted to using juju (traditional spiritual means) to emerge victorious in the match.
Although the official organizers of the event have yet to confirm or publicly disclose the actual amounts paid to both celebrities, a social media personality identified as @kussman made a claim regarding the prize money.
According to @kussman, Portable was reportedly fighting for a grand prize of N30 million, while Speed Darlington was set to receive N10 million for participating in the match.
In his post, @kussman wrote: “Akpi was fighting for 10M, Portable was fighting for 30M. Of course, the approach would be different.”
This revelation quickly gained traction online, drawing in numerous reactions from fans and followers in the comment section, many of whom expressed their amusement, disbelief, and personal opinions about the fight and the alleged payouts.
