Okay, so I saw this thing online about how much money this boxer, Munguia, made, and I got curious. You know, just wanted to see what the numbers were. So I started digging around to figure it out.
First, I went on a mission to find any official statements about Munguia’s earnings. I mean, that’s the best source, right? Turns out, there weren’t any exact numbers released. But, I did find some reports saying he probably got around $10 million guaranteed for this one fight. Pretty wild, huh?
- Checked for official numbers – nothing there, but found estimates.
- Read reports about similar fighters – helped me get a ballpark figure.
Then I thought, “Let’s see what other boxers in similar situations make.” So, I looked up this other guy, Berlanga, who fought in 2023. Apparently, he earned somewhere between $500,000 and $700,000 for a fight, and with pay-per-view stuff, maybe around a million in total. That gave me a bit of context, you know?
Then, just to get a bigger picture, I looked up how much Canelo, who fought Munguia, earned. Get this – Canelo had a guaranteed purse of like 30 to 35 million dollars for that fight! And that’s not even counting the money from ads and pay-per-view. It made Munguia’s earnings look kinda small in comparison, but still, it’s a lot of money!
I also found out that Munguia has a net worth of around $5 million, even though he’s won all his fights. I guess boxing is one of those things where the money can vary a lot. He did knock out some guy named John Ryder and made a cool $800 from it.
So, after all this digging, here’s what I figured out:
My Findings
-
Munguia probably made around $10 million guaranteed from his last fight.
-
Other boxers in similar fights made less, like Berlanga with his $500k-$700k.
-
Compared to Canelo’s $30-$35 million, Munguia’s earnings seem modest, but it’s still a lot!
It was a fun little investigation. Shows you how much money can be involved in these big fights, even if the exact numbers are kept under wraps. And it also made me appreciate the work these guys put in, even if you don’t see all the details up front. Learned a lot about how much dough these guys can pull in.
