Bukom Banku, 46, has spoke about how he currently makes money.

The inactive boxing champion spoke on the Class Morning Show on Class 91.3 FM, Friday, August 16, 2024.

After deeply bemoaning the current economic hardships in Ghana, he noted he recently returned from holidays in London, UK.

Host Kwame Dwomoh-Agyemang wondered how he was under pressure economically but could also spend on holidays abroad.

“I do adverts, I play shows, they pay me big money. I’ll be playing a gig in Medea next,” he responded.

The entertainment personality indicated his charges in Ghana cedis.

“Sometimes, I take 6,000 and 7,000 [to make an appearance]. I am okay with 5000, also, if you cannot afford anything above that. We’re all Ghanaian and I understand the economy is hard,” the father of 13 and husband to five said.

He added, to perform at an event, “my target is 10,000 – negotiable – because I have many children in the house. I’ll take even 5,000 to take care of my children”.

The occasional TV personality said his work ethic is: “I don’t reject money.”

“If you reject money, money will reject you,” the singer and comic cautioned.

The last time Bukom Banku fought was in 2017. He was unfortunately knocked out by Bastie Samir in rounds 3 and 7 prompting the referee to end the October 21 Bukom Boxing Arena fight. Samir had ended Banku undefeated reign.
