Alright, so today I wanted to talk about the Munguia payout situation. I’ve been following this boxing stuff for a while, and this fight was a big one.
So, first off, I gotta say, the fight itself was pretty intense. I mean, Canelo is a beast, everyone knows that, but Munguia held his own. I was on the edge of my seat, switching my attention from the game to the news, trying to get any info I could about the money part. Because, let’s be real, the money’s a huge deal in these fights, right?
I started digging around online before the fight even started. From what I could gather from some boxing news sites and forums, Canelo was gonna make a killing, as usual. I saw some numbers, like $35 million, just for stepping into the ring. Makes sense, he’s the big draw. But what about Munguia? That’s what I was really curious about.
- First, I looked up this website called Top Rank Boxing. They mentioned something about $1.2 million for Munguia and his team. But that seemed kinda low, to be honest.
- Then, I scrolled through some other articles and found a few different numbers. Some said Munguia’s base salary could be around $2.5 million. That sounded a bit more likely.
- Others talked about $800,000 guaranteed, which is way lower. And some even said he might get somewhere between $500,000 and $750,000. It was all over the place!
I spent the whole evening trying to make sense of it all. I mean, how do they even figure this stuff out? Is it based on past fights? Popularity? Or just pulling numbers out of a hat? But I kept seeing this $35 million number for Canelo. I figured if that was accurate, Munguia was probably making a good chunk of change too, even if it wasn’t Canelo-level money.
Then I found out that Munguia had made around $2 million for a fight a while back, so it’s not like he was gonna get just pennies. It’s not like he is a nobody, right? I kept refreshing the pages, hoping for something more concrete, but nope, nothing. It was just more estimates.
Honestly, it’s a bit frustrating not knowing the exact numbers. But hey, that’s the boxing world for ya, always a bit secretive about the money. I’ll keep digging, though. If I find anything solid, I’ll definitely share it. It’s just wild to think about how much these guys make for one night of work. Crazy, right?
I’ll keep on this, though, and if I find anything more solid, I’ll make sure to share it here.
