Can Lamont Roach Jr. do the unthinkable? To most, it may not appear so. A daunting task lies ahead. To become a lightweight champion, the super featherweight champion will have to breach the impenetrable armor of a ‘Tank.’ He may have spoken about retiring, but there’s no reason Gervonta Davis would serve his belt on a platter.

Win or lose, fighting one of the ‘faces of boxing’ will nonetheless raise Lamont Roach Jr.’s stakes. For the March 1 fight, he should be getting a hefty payout. Even if he fails to secure the WBA belt, whether he decides to stay put at 135 pounds or go back to 130, Roach Jr. could command competitive paydays befitting his newfound stature. Ahead of the showdown at the Barclays Center, let’s explore his current net worth and his purse from previous fights.

Lamont Roach Jr.’s net worth in 2025 and endorsements

Regarding Roach Jr.’s net worth in 2025, details are scarce. However, there appears to be a near unanimity of sorts that it could be above $1 million. While ‘Sport Salaries’ mentioned $1.1 million, ‘College Net Worth’ suggested anywhere between $1 million and $5 million.

It’s understandable, given the fact that he has been fighting for over a decade; boxing should be Lamont Roach Jr.’s main source of income. But he is known for a few endorsement deals as well. On the ‘Bag Fuel’ podcast, Roach Jr. spoke about the way professional boxers get paid. Additionally, he shared how he provided promotional facilities to various sponsors. “Mainly my canvas would be, um, my canvas would definitely be my trunks, and probably the robe and top that I’m wearing to the fight might be a hat that I might exclusively put one sponsor,” said the super featherweight champion.

How much does Lamont Roach Jr. make? Fight purse history, salary & earnings

To gauge Roach Jr.’s fiscal status, one could review his past fight payouts. Though he began his career in 2014, it wasn’t until 2017 that ‘The Reaper’ won his first title – the WBC Youth Silver super featherweight. Following a title defense, Roach Jr. fought one more non-title bout that year. For each fight, he received a $10,000 payout, thus making around $30,000 in 2017.

In 2018, he challenged Orlando Cruz for the WBO International belt. The fight ended in a draw. But Lamont Roach Jr. returned a few months later to claim the title, which was vacant at the time. By December, his first title defense followed. With $25,000 for each fight, his total purse for that year touched $75,000.

Things improved further when he fought Jonathan Oquendo on May 4, 2019. His own title and the WBO-NABO super featherweight title were at stake. The victory made Lamont Roach Jr. richer by $50,000. But later that year, on November 9, Roach Jr. suffered his first and only setback.

His first attempt at a world title caved in when former world champion Jamel Herring defeated him unanimously. Nevertheless, Roach Jr. received his first three-figure payout – $175,000. In 2020 he fought only once, a non-title bout against Neil John Tabanao, and took around $75,000. In 2021 he fought twice and generated aggregate earnings of approximately $175,000.

Activity-wise, 2022 proved lackluster. But the non-title fight against Angel Rodriguez proved profitable as it rewarded him with a $100,000 purse. Returning a year later, Roach Jr. finally realized his dream of becoming a world champion. Pulling a split decision in his favor, he defeated Hector Garcia and became the new WBA super featherweight title holder. Fetching him a $150,000 purse, moneywise, it proved to be a lucrative deal.

Last year, when he defended his hard-won belt from Feargal McCrory, Lamont Roach Jr. received his biggest payday – $200,000. Given that he is fighting one of boxing’s biggest stars on Saturday night, ‘The Reaper’ could be looking at a windfall.
