He formerly held the WBA interim lightweight title, and WBA Super lightweight title, and has won thirteen of his bouts by way of a knockout. 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. Regardless, he failed to create a winning streak, as he suffered another devastating loss at the hands of Isaac Cruz. 

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. 

That said, Ronaldo Romero clearly has the potential to be much more rich, given he does well in his fights. However, a loss here could also mean the end of his boxing career, and he will have to find some other source of income. Do you think Rolly will win?
