Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere – “how much did Munguia make tonight?” – and I got curious. It’s not like they publish fighters’ purses, so I figured, “Why not try to do some detective work?”
First, I started by hitting up Google. Just a basic search, you know? “Munguia fight purse,” “Munguia earnings,” that kind of thing. I scrolled through a bunch of news articles and boxing sites, but most of them were just talking about the fight itself, not the money.
Then I remembered that sometimes the state athletic commissions release info, so I checked a few of those. No luck there, either, it’s not public information.
Next, I tried looking at past fights. I figured if I could find out what Munguia made in previous fights, maybe I could estimate his earnings for this one. I dug around for articles on his other major fights, and there were numbers, but these were just for his opponent.
I spent a good chunk of time on this, hitting dead ends. I felt like I was going in circles!
So, what’s the conclusion? After all that searching,I didn’t find his earnings. It is all estimately.
