According to sources, Romero has a net worth of $4 million- $6 million.

In addition, Rolando Romero so far has had a lucrative career in boxing. After suffering his first loss at the hands of Gervonta Davis in 2022, he made a massive comeback by defeating Ismael Barroso in 2023—even though the win was a bit controversial.

Top fight purses of Rolly Romero

One of his earliest substantial earnings came from his fight against Anthony Yigit, where Romero took home a guaranteed $125,000. His next major payday was his headline bout against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in 2022, where he earned an impressive $500,000. Despite losing the fight, it garnered significant media attention, elevating Romero’s profile.

Romero’s largest payday to date came in his 2023 bout against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, where he pocketed $850,000 for the WBA super lightweight title fight. However, after his loss to Cruz—his stock has seen a drastic download trend. That’s why his upcoming bout is vital for him to win, and continue the potential to make money.

According to sources, Cruz would get paid a solid $200K for his upcoming skirmish in the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga. On the flip side, Jaimes would pocket about $75K. If Romero can win this bout, and dominantly win this bout, he could land bigger fights with bigger cash bundles.
