In the modern boxing era, there are countless pugilists who bag colossal paychecks for their fights. Jorge Linares, too, ranks among those boxers who rake in massive amounts in all of their fights. Considering this, he has banked a ton of money over the course of his 19-year career.

‘El Nino de Oro’ debuted in the sport in 2002 and slowly emerged as one watch-worthy talent. In his gigantic boxing stint, he took up the toughest of battles, ending up on the winning vertical 47 times. For all those sublime encounters, Linares earned some colossal sums of money.

His most lucrative boxing bout came when he locked horns with the Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko in 2018. The veteran lost this fight, but he made a whopping $1.2 million. With that, he even became one of the highest-paid fighters for that year.
