Well, y’all wanna know how much that Munguia fella made fightin’ Canelo? Let me tell ya, it ain’t exactly been said out loud, but folks been talkin’. Munguia ain’t pocketin’ no small change, that’s for sure. Now, Canelo’s been the big dog in the ring, and he usually makes a pretty penny. But Munguia, well, he’s makin’ more than a few bucks too, just not as much as Canelo.
See, Canelo’s purse for that fight was around 30 to 35 million dollars, and that ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at. But for little ol’ Munguia, the amount he got wasn’t too shabby either. Reports say he pulled in about 10 million dollars guaranteed for that fight. Now, I ain’t sayin’ that’s a fortune, but it’s sure a mighty fine sum for someone still climbin’ up the ladder in the boxing world.
In fact, this wasn’t even the biggest payout for Munguia. Back in 2022, when he fought Jimmy Kelly, he took home about 2 million dollars. That’s a pretty good chunk of change for anyone. And even before that, in 2021, he earned around 1.15 million for his bout with Gabe Rosado. Now, don’t go thinkin’ he ain’t had his fair share of decent paydays!
But Canelo, well, he’s sittin’ on top of the mountain when it comes to money. He’s made big bucks for his fights, especially when he fought Caleb Plant in 2021 to become the undisputed super middleweight champion. That one raked in about 40 million dollars! Can you imagine? Forty million! For one fight!
Now, some folks say Munguia ain’t yet in Canelo’s league when it comes to the big paydays. And that’s fair enough. But don’t let that fool ya, because even though he ain’t gettin’ Canelo money, he’s still doin’ real well for himself. And it ain’t just about the fights either – Munguia’s got a future ahead of him, and that future looks bright with paychecks like these.
To put it simply, Munguia may not be gettin’ what Canelo’s makin’, but he’s definitely not walkin’ away empty-handed. For a young feller in the sport, pullin’ in 10 million bucks for a fight is somethin’ to be proud of, if ya ask me. And who knows? Maybe one day he’ll be the one rakin’ in that 30 million or more!
So, to wrap it all up:
- Canelo’s guaranteed purse for the fight was between $30-35 million.
- Munguia’s purse for the fight was reportedly around $10 million.
- Before this, Munguia earned $2 million for a fight with Jimmy Kelly.
- In 2021, Canelo earned a whopping $40 million when he fought Caleb Plant.
Both these boxers are makin’ some good money, but ol’ Canelo, he’s the one takin’ home the biggest paydays. Still, for Munguia, he’s sure doin’ just fine for himself, and that’s somethin’ to be proud of in this tough ol’ sport of boxing.
