So, I’ve been digging into this boxer, Jaime Munguia, and how much he’s making. It’s a wild world, boxing, let me tell you. I started by looking into his past fights to get a sense of his earnings history.
What I found was pretty interesting:
- For his fight against Demetrius Andrade back in 2019, Munguia pocketed around $2.5 million as a guaranteed purse.
- But then there’s this recent fight against Canelo Alvarez that’s got everyone talking.
The Big Payday
Now, the exact numbers for the Canelo fight are a bit hush-hush, but from what I gathered, Munguia was looking at a guaranteed purse of around $10 million. Yeah, you heard that right. Ten. Million. Dollars.
But it’s not just about the guaranteed money. There’s this whole other side to it with pay-per-view revenue. For the Canelo fight, some folks were estimating that the PPV buys could hit anywhere between 800,000 to 1.2 million. That’s a lot of people tuning in, which means more money in the pot.
Breaking It Down
Canelo, being the bigger name, was said to have a guaranteed purse somewhere between $30 and $35 million. But with the PPV and sponsorships, that number can get a lot bigger. One thing that caught my eye was how invested people were in the fight, especially when Canelo seemed to have Munguia on the ropes but then held back.
I spent hours looking into forums, news articles, and even some boxing blogs to piece all this together. It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it’s fascinating to see how the money side of boxing works. It’s not just about what happens in the ring, but also about the hype, the viewership, and how many people are willing to pay to watch.
In the end, it’s clear that Munguia’s getting a hefty chunk of change for his fights, especially the big one against Canelo. But it’s also a reminder of how much money is floating around in the world of professional boxing.
