Canelo's generosity or just a rumor? What's your take on Munguia's flashy new Cybertruck?

Well, after a year of hard work, Jaime Munguia finally has something to show for it. The Mexican boxer has fought three times this year and has been busy throughout. Even after securing the win in two of them, his 2024 is remembered for the one loss he faced against Canelo Alvarez on May 4. The Tijuana boxer failed to capture the Unified Super Middleweight title, but it was not a bad outing.

Not only did Munguia prove himself that he could hang with the best, but the payout for the fight was just astonishing. Alvarez himself made more than $30 million and even though Munguia did not make that much, he took home a considerable amount of purse. And even 4 months after the fight, fans are not letting him forget the money he made while losing to Alvarez as the 6’0 feet boxer flexed his new car on social media.

Munguia took to Instagram to showcase his new ride, a modern Tesla Cybertruck, to everyone. He uploaded several pictures in which he can be seen appreciating the beauty of the truck and adoring his new purchase. Munguia captioned the picture, “New @teslamotors stroller for Jaimito. 😂 For the record he asked her for Christmas. 🤦🏽 ♂️ ¡Ánimo!,” hilariously stating that the baby boy had asked for the truck as a Christmas gift. One of the pictures also featured Jaimito. as he was standing beside the truck trying to maintain his balance.

This is an expensive purchase, as various online reports state the All Wheel Drive version of the Cybertruck is around 2,199,000 pesos or approximately $110,000. Meanwhile, the exclusive version can go up to 2,599,990 pesos or approximately $130,000. With two wins in his bag for 2024, Munguia had done pretty well for himself as he has earned decent from both of those fights. He took away a purse of $1.5 million for his fight against Erik Bazinyan a few days ago. But fans were not kind to Munguia as they credited the loss against Canelo for making this purchase possible for the 44-1 boxer.

It is all thanks to Canelo Alvarez

Canelo's generosity or just a rumor? What's your take on Munguia's flashy new Cybertruck?

Have an interesting take?

As soon as Munguia uploaded the pictures, one fan was quick to credit Canelo Alvarez or making this purchase possible. He wrote, “thank you daddy canelo,” in a mocking tone. He was making sure that Munguia knew the reason he was able to afford that truck.

Another fan mentioned the fight between Alvarez and Munguia and wrote, “It pays more to lose than to win xD,” focusing on the bag the Tijuana resident earned against the unified champion. The exact earnings of Munguia from the Canelo fight are still not disclosed, but various sources and reports have claimed the approximate number to be around 10-15 million USD. And that is Munguia’s biggest payout to date. He has not earned anything quite like it, even after winning all his fights.

Another fan took a cheeky dig as he wrote, “I also want to fight against Canelo 😭 😭,” stating the fact that fighting against Alvarez would earn him millions as well. Well, the unified champion is in the latter stages of his career and it is visible that he is selecting opponents based on the payout. So, if you are fighting the 34-year-old, chances are you are going to earn millions.

Amidst all the trolls, there were a few Munguia fans who were happy for the success he had achieved in his career. After all, winning 43 fights on the trot is no easy task. One fan wrote, “How beautiful that you are fulfilling all your dreams!! Congrats 👏👏,” as she congratulated the boxer on everything he has achieved so far in his career.

Another fan cheekily made fun of the caption as he wrote, “Hahaha but he doesn’t know how to use it so use it champion 🥊 🥊,” mentioning the fact that Jaimito does not know how to drive it and thus, can’t use it as a stroller. So, till the time Jaimito is a grown-up, the boxer can enjoy his Cybertruck as much as he wants.

No matter how much anyone trolls Munguia at the moment, he has earned everything in his career through hard work. He has once again reached the top of the cards and is ready to face his next challenge and might even challenge for the title again. So, he deserves some of the gifts that he can afford.
