Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Jaime Munguia thing, specifically how much cash he pocketed in his latest fight. You know, the usual curiosity. I started by hitting up the usual spots – Google, a few boxing news sites, you name it. Just wanted to get a general feel for what people were saying.
First thing I did was check out some news articles from around the time of the fight, like late April and May. These gave me some background on the fight itself – apparently, it was a pretty big deal, a “major showdown” as one article put it. I got it, top middleweights going at it, high stakes, the whole nine yards.
Then, I started looking for actual numbers. One report mentioned that a fight generated $2.5 million in revenue, with Munguia earning an additional $350,000 and the other fighter, Rosado, getting $200,000. Okay, interesting. Not huge numbers, but a decent chunk of change.
But that wasn’t the fight I was interested in. I kept digging. Another article mentioned that Munguia earned around $2 million when he fought Jimmy Kelly in 2022. Then, after he beat Sergiy Derevyanchenko, things got interesting.
Here’s where it gets juicy:
- Various sources, including some big names like ESPN and Forbes, started reporting on Munguia’s earnings for his recent fight.
- The consensus? Around $10 million guaranteed. That’s right, eight figures, just for stepping into the ring.
Now, it’s not Canelo money, who is a big star, but still, $10 million? That’s a serious payday. It’s wild to think about the kind of money these guys are pulling in. It seems like Munguia’s stock is rising, and his bank account is definitely reflecting that. Makes you wonder what he’s gonna do with all that dough, right?
Anyways, that’s the gist of what I found. It was a fun little investigation, and it definitely gave me a new appreciation for the business side of boxing. It’s not just about the punches and the knockouts; there’s some serious money moving around behind the scenes.
