Tomorrow, Ryan Garcia will make his return to the ring after a year, fighting Rolando Rolly Romero in the main card of the Fatal Fury in Times Square event, happening in New York City. Even Devin Haney is on the co-main event, set to face Jose Ramirez. But that’s not all. In another high-profile bout, Teofimo Lopez will fight Arnold Barboza Jr. for Lopez’s WBO light welterweight belt. The match has been months in the making, and fans are looking for a promising showdown.

While the outcome will be clear tomorrow, it is evident that though it may be a title fight, The Takeover is not in the event for money. There have been multiple instances where he’s turned down lucrative offers. So, one can say that this boxer is not going to enter the ring tomorrow just because the pay is good. Despite all the bossy behaviour and control over who he fights, it looks like the 27-year-old has still managed to make a fortune out of his boxing career.

What is Teofimo Lopez’s net worth in 2025?

From what Surprise Sports says, Teofimo Lopez’s net worth in 2025 is $5 million. Now, for the 27-year-old boxer, this is a substantial amount of money. It even puts him in the top 1 percent of Americans, based on wealth in his age group. So, if you were to compare him to the ordinary guys in their 20s, he’s surely earning more than enough. If managed wisely, the amount offers good financial security and retirement earnings for any athlete. Fortunately for The Takeover, that is what he has done.

Lopez’s earnings come from his fight purses, endorsement deals, and real estate investments. So, apart from earning through his career as a professional boxer, the New York native has also invested his money and diversified his income sources. In the eyes of financially literate people, the young boxer would look disciplined when it comes to money. For endorsements, he’s partnered with known brands like Bud Light, Essentia Water, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, Walt Disney World Ambassadors, and promoted through Top Rank, which brings him good fights, too.

Additionally, he has made investments in real estate by purchasing a luxurious home in Las Vegas. In 2020, he even gave his followers an Instagram live tour of the home while it was still under construction. Featuring a basement, ground floor, movie room, safe room, boxing gym, mini gym, three-car garage, and a “man-cave,” the house is such a custom-built residence that has the potential to bring him money someday, when Lopez decides to sell it. So, rather than investing in flashy objects like cars or shiny jewelry, Lopez is mindful of his lifestyle while still living lavishly off his fight purses compared to someone in their late twenties.

Teofimo Lopez’s career earnings and top fight purses

Throughout his 9-year-long professional career, Teofimo Lopez has made a total of $7 million from boxing alone. That means huge fight purses and pay-per-view shares. Among his top fight purses is the George Kambosos Jr. bout, where he reportedly made $3.178 million after putting his IBO and WBO lightweight titles on the line. Lopez had suffered his only career loss in the bout, losing the status of being a world champion.

Apart from that, there is also mention of a guaranteed $1.25 million purse Lopez earned in the Vasyl Lomachenko fight in 2020, with 40 percent extra topped from the PPV revenue share. He had won the match via unanimous decision. Later, in 2023, a purse of $1.5 million awaited him when he fought Josh Taylor. Only recently, fighting against Jamaine Ortiz, he’d gotten $12 million, including the purse and PPV share.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Teofimo Lopez the smartest boxer in the ring when it comes to managing his wealth?

Have an interesting take?

Moreover, Lopez is the CEO of Takeover Promotions Inc., promoting financial literacy amongst the new generation. All in all, Lopez is all about making and keeping money the right way. For now, things seem to be on the clear end for the 21-1 boxer, and if he wins against Barboza Jr., it would only add to his list of successful title defences, further increasing his base fight purses and making him even richer. Maybe then, Lopez would invest more in real estate, only growing his empire further.
