At 6′ 5½″, Sebastian Fundora looks more like a basketball player than a boxer. And trust me, plenty of people have made that mistake. But with boxing practically running through his veins, as his father, Freddy Sr., was a former pro, and even his mother, Monique, laced up the gloves—Fundora was always meant to step into the ring, not the court. His journey started young. At just eight years old, he first set foot in a boxing gym while living in Florida. A year later, when his family moved to California, he kept sharpening his skills at the Coachella Valley Boxing Club, and, well, the rest is history.

Fast forward to 2025, and Fundora has already taken out some of the biggest names in boxing. He handed Erickson Lubin his second career loss (Lubin’s first came at the hands of Jermell Charlo) and shocked the world by giving Tim Tszyu his first-ever defeat. The man is tall, powerful, and relentless. And in a few hours, he’s stepping back into the ring for the first time this year, facing off against Chordale Booker.

But let’s hit pause on the fight talk for a second. Instead of diving into stats and predictions, let’s take a detour. Because let’s be honest, boxing isn’t just about what happens inside the ring.

Sebastian Fundora’s 2025 net worth

Sebastian Fundora’s bank account has been bulking up almost as much as his fight record. According to Sporty Salaries, the 27-year-old—signed with Sampson Boxing—has stacked up a net worth of $5 million, thanks to his fight purses and sponsorship deals. Right now, he’s cashing in anywhere between $400K and $750K per fight, depending on those sweet PPV numbers. And with his first title defense on deck, the payday stakes are higher than ever.

It’s been a while since I fought, but we’re ready to put on a great show like always and give the fans what they’ve been waiting for,” Fundora said in the final press conference. A great show? No doubt. But is that great show backed by a great payday? Well… that’s where things get interesting.

Sebastian Fundora stepped into the pro boxing world on September 24, 2016, kicking things off with a first-round TKO over Jose Cardenas. Fast forward three years later, and he was still undefeated at 12-0, but the money? Let’s just say it wasn’t keeping up. Until 2021, when he edged out Sergio Garcia, his fight purses were barely touching $75K.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Fundora's fight purse fair, or should he be earning more for taking down big names?

Have an interesting take?

Then came 2022—the year that changed things for Fundora. He faced Erickson Lubin and stopped him in the ninth round (RTD). And that victory? It didn’t just add another W to his record—it added a jaw-dropping $250K to his pocket, plus a PPV points. Talk about hitting the jackpot. From there, things only got better. His next two fights brought him another $150K boost. Even when he suffered his first career loss to Brian Mendoza in 2023, he still walked away with $400K and a 55% PPV share—more than his opponent, who only took 45%.

However, the real payday came when he dethroned Tim Tszyu. That win didn’t just earn him two shiny new belts—it also secured a $500K purse plus a 40% PPV cut. If all goes according to plan, then the star boxer is looking at another $500K base salary with a massive 60% PPV share. Do the math, and that could total up to $2 million—his biggest payday yet. Now that’s a number worth fighting for.

How much will Sebastian Fundora earn? Boxing fight purse

Sebastian Fundora is set to fight against Chordale Booker at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.  According to reports, Sebastian Fundora is set to pocket $500K, while Booker will take home $275K. But here’s where things get even more interesting—the PPV revenue split. Fundora has the upper hand here, taking 60% of the PPV sales, while Booker gets 40%.

Now, let’s talk about potential earnings. If this Premier Boxing Champions fight card pulls in over 500K PPV buys, Fundora’s total payout could skyrocket to $1.8 million, while Booker could see his earnings climb to $550K. That’s more than double his base purse! However, these numbers aren’t officially confirmed—they’re estimates based on previous payouts and industry trends. Plus, fighter salaries aren’t just about base purses and PPV cuts. There are bonuses, undisclosed perks, and sponsorship deals that often push their earnings even higher.

So the bottom line here is that Sebastian Fundora seems set to cash in big, but is it worth it? If Booker pulls off the upset, he could walk away with more than just a fat paycheck. Either way, both fighters have a lot at stake, and we’re about to witness some serious action.

So, what do you think? Is the payout fair, or should Sebastian Fundora be earning more, given the fact that he took down some bigger names? Drop your thoughts below!
