With 29 straight victories, David Benavidez has established himself as one of the top boxers in modern boxing. In just a few hours, ‘The Monster Monster’ will enter his 30th bout to keep his undefeated streak intact. He will meet the WBA regular light heavyweight champion David Morrell at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and a win here can get him a shot at the undisputed light heavyweight champion.

After constantly getting denied opportunities in the super middleweight, Benavidez decided to move up to 175 lbs. A move proven right as he instantly captured the WBC Interim Light Heavyweight championship and is now ready to stake his claims in the big league. For a fighter that has dominated two divisions, the 28-year-old must have amassed a healthy fortune to date. Let’s take a look.

David Benavidez’s Net Worth

At this point, there is no precise information regarding David Benavidez’s net worth. Every report or site quotes a different figure, which tells us nothing. However, given his increased purse in recent bouts and finding a middle ground between the reports, we can safely assume that his net worth is somewhere between $2 and $5 million.

Expectedly, the Phoenix, Arizona native is far away from amassing a net worth similar to his long-time rival Canelo Alvarez. However, he is just 28 years old at the moment and the way he is rising through the ranks, he can reach similar heights in the coming years.

He was one of the youngest world champions in boxing and succeeding against Morrell will grant him an opportunity against either Artur Beterbiev or Dmitry Bivol. A fight that will do wonders for his career and will raise his financial standing even further. The bulk of his net worth came from his fight purses, endorsements, and recent entrepreneurial ventures.

Benavidez’s fight purse, career earnings & endorsements

Finding and determining David Benavidez‘s earnings in the early days can be difficult as most of the fight happened in Tijuana, Mexico. Even after he debuted in the U.S., the initial fights were quite low profile before he faced Ronald Gavril in 2017. Since then, he has been on the rise.

He earned a fight purse of $400,000 against Gavril in their rematch in 2018, followed by a $1 million payout against Anthony Dirrell in 2019, and in 2022, he earned $350,000 against David Lemieux. However, his fight against Caleb Plant was his biggest jump in paydays where he earned a total of $3 million, including a share in the pay-per-view buys.

Benavidez’s last fight in super middleweight came against Demetrius Andrade and he earned a whopping $7 million for the fight. On July 15, 2024, he made his light heavyweight debut against former WBC light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Bandara Roja not only won the fight via unanimous decision but was also projected to receive around $8 million. However, there has been no confirmation regarding this figure since the fight. While most of Benavidez’s earnings come from fight purses, his endorsement and business venture have also contributed a bit.

The 28-year-old has two sponsorships at the moment, both with companies that resonate with his brand story. He signed an official deal with Agua Plus as the exclusive water and functional beverage sponsor of David Benavidez ahead of his 29th bout. He has also been signed by sports nutrition brand SNAC since 2022.

David Benavidez also has his own clothing line, ‘El Bandera Roja’ that includes apparel items. Furthermore, he also made a solid real estate investment by building a huge house in his native Arizona. The exact value of his clothing line and house is not disclosed.

With each fight, David Benavidez is climbing up the popularity level. A win against Morrell will propel him even further which will lead to his fight against Beterbiev or Bivol, meaning a higher payday.
