Lagos-based socialite and entrepreneur, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, has fulfilled his pledge of N50 million to comedian Carter Efe following his victory over singer Portable.
The prize was awarded after Carter Efe defeated Portable via unanimous decision at the Chaos in the Ring 4 event held at Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island.
E-Money confirmed the payment at the end of the event after being invited by the CEO of Balmoral Group Promotions, Ezekiel Adamu.
“You know we put our money where our mouth is, and so congratulations Carter on your win. N50 million for you,” he said.
Adamu also praised the event, describing it as highly entertaining and a successful show, while thanking fans and fighters for their support.
The celebrity bout, which served as the main attraction of the night, followed weeks of heated exchanges between both entertainers.
Portable had earlier expressed confidence of winning the fight, citing his previous exhibition victories over Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington.
However, Carter Efe dominated the three-round contest, using his reach advantage to control the fight. All three judges scored the bout 27–30 in his favour, crowning him the winner.
