Alright, let’s talk Munguia’s payday. I’ve been digging into this myself, trying to figure out exactly how much the guy made in his last fight. It’s never a straightforward answer, is it?
So, where did I even start? Well, I hit up Google first, naturally. Typed in “how much did Munguia make in his last fight” and started sifting through the articles and forum posts. Gotta be careful with those forums, though – lots of speculation and hot air.
What I gathered from my initial search was that Munguia’s earnings aren’t always publicly disclosed. Promoters like to keep those numbers close to the vest, I guess. But, a few numbers popped up again and again.
I remember seeing reports that he pulled in around $750,000 for the Derevyanchenko fight. Okay, that’s a solid number. But that’s just one fight. And let’s be real, that’s probably just the guaranteed purse, right? No PPV cuts or anything fancy like that.
Then I stumbled across some chatter suggesting he might have made around $10 million for a fight. Not necessarily the last one. It’s boxing, though, so a lot depends on who he was fighting, PPV buys, and all that jazz. I’m assuming this was the Canelo fight, which was obviously a much bigger deal.
Next, I checked out some boxing news sites that I usually trust. They often have better inside info or at least make more educated guesses. Sometimes they cite sources, sometimes it’s just “industry whispers.” You gotta take it all with a grain of salt.
I even went back and tried to find older articles about his previous fights, just to get a sense of his earning trajectory. Did he start low and build up? Was there a sudden jump after a specific win? That kind of thing. It’s like detective work, honestly.
The tricky part is separating the real numbers from the wishful thinking. You see a lot of “sources say” and “reportedly” thrown around, but without an official confirmation, it’s all just speculation. I also looked at who his promoter is, because sometimes you can dig a little deeper through their channels, or at least find hints.
Ultimately, nailing down the exact figure is tough. It really seems like that $750,000 for the Derevyanchenko fight is pretty solid and the 10 million for the Canelo fight seems right, but I can’t guarantee it.
Here’s the thing I learned: Unless you’re part of the fighter’s inner circle, or you’re a seriously plugged-in boxing journalist, you’re probably never going to know the exact number. But you can get a pretty good estimate by piecing together the available information.
So, to wrap it up, my best guess based on my digging is that Munguia likely made a good chunk of change for his recent fights. I’d say somewhere between $750k to $10 million, depending on which fight we’re talking about. Still, it’s a heck of a living if you can get it!
