The Diego Pacheco vs. Maciej Sulecki fight is officially done and dusted. And now, folks, it’s time to look at how much the boxers pocketed from the fight. We’re not just talking about the headline bout—let’s break down the earnings for the entire card. From the fierce Pacheco and the resilient Sulecki to the tenacious David Vargas and the indomitable Ginny Fuchs, who bravely fought through a broken thumb to secure her spectacular victory.

While Rodriguez may have won the fight, Rojo walked home with the bigger stack of $7000 and Rodriguez made $3000 from the fight.

While Nunez pocketed $62,500, Marriaga might not be that sad after getting paid $25000 from the bout.
