	Clive  +  946423 Sun, 18 Oct 09 10:44 PM Hi, The purse is the term used to refer to the money that the winner of the fight will receive.   The term is also used in horse racing.   Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,612 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo

Update: The term "purse money" is not normally used, it's just "purse" as in "Tonights fight has the largest purse ever seen in this venue." I have no idea why the writers chose to use a non-standard expression. RayH Joined on Sat, Mar 22 2008 Contributing Member 1,555 Native speaker of U. S. English. Not a grammar expert.
