Teofimo Lopez has been on a revenge tour since losing his undefeated record to George Kambosos Jr in 2021. And his next fight, where he will defend his WBO and The Ring super lightweight titles against undefeated WBO interim champion Arnold Barboza Jr, is so important. Not a one-sided affair on the betting odds like some of the other fights on the May 2, 2025 ‘Fatal Fury’ card in Times Square, New York, Lopez is in for a fight.

Barboza, in fact, feels that the New York native has put off the fight for too long, and looks remarkably confident coming into the fight. While the result of their intriguing matchup is yet to be determined, what we can determine a winner or loser right in is their finances. So, let’s jump straight into it!

What is Teofimo Lopez’s Net Worth in 2025?

Like any other fighter, most of the money Lopez has made so far has come from his fight purses, which include a base pay, as well as a cut of the PPV revenue (determined by the PPV sales) on cards he has headlined. It is estimated that he has made tens of millions from boxing purses so far, with the Jamaine Ortiz fight alone reportedly netting him $3-4 million.

In addition, the Honduran heritage NYC native is a champion and a big star in the boxing world, and as such is an attractive commodity for major brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, and Bud Light. There are also reports that ‘The Takeover’ is smart with his money and has made some smart real estate investments from the money he has made in his career. In addition, he runs and is the CEO of his own promotion, ‘Takeover Promotions Inc.’ All in all, Teofimo Lopez has a net worth of $5 million according to sports outlet, Surprise Sports.

What is Arnold Barboza Jr.’s net worth in 2025?

Arnold Barboza Jr, too, has made most of his money from fighting. We should note that in both cases of Lopez and Barboza Jr, the best we have are estimates. A person’s net worth is the difference between their assets and liabilities. And since we have no idea of either of those things for both fighters, we cannot say for sure what their actual net worths are.

But that being said, according to ‘Sunrise Sports’, the interim champion’s net worth is $1 million as of 2025. Like all other prize-fighters, Barboza has earned the lion’s share of his money from fight purses. The undefeated American has fought 32 times already since making his pro debut in 2014, and his career payout is about $40k per fight on average.

But in high-profile bouts like the one against Alex Saucedo, he has earned $320,000 guaranteed, plus 50% of PPV share, which could have taken his total payout for that fight up to around half a million, maybe more. Unfortunately, Barboza Jr isn’t as big a star as Lopez or a Devin Haney or a Ryan Garcia, and doesn’t have any major brand endorsement deals to speak of.

Who is the richer boxer in 2025: Teofimo Lopez or Arnold Barboza Jr.?

The answer to this question hardly needs to be said aloud. But as you well know at this point, Teofimo Lopez is much richer than Barboza Jr. Going off of their net worths alone, ‘The Takeover’s $5 million net worth, five times more than Barboza’s $1 million. And for good reason.

Lopez has fought in more high-stakes matches with multimillion-dollar payouts and higher pay-per-view sales. In addition, he is endorsed by some of the biggest, most prestigious brands in the world, like Disney and Coca-Cola. Not to mention Lopez’s investment in real estate and role as the CEO of his promotion.

On the other hand, the Lopez fight is the biggest battle of Barboza’s career so far, and if he wins this one, he will see his star power and, subsequently, net worth, explode in the near future, and he could close the financial gap with Lopez.

How do Teofimo Lopez and Arnold Barboza invest their boxing earnings?

As we have already mentioned multiple times, Lopez has a fondness for putting his money in real estate. He owns a swanky, straight-out-of-a-Hollywood-movie luxury mansion in Las Vegas complete with a personalized, state-of-the-art boxing gym and dedicated movie room.

The WBO champ doesn’t flash his money around or spend it on depreciating assets like flashy cars or jewelry, preferring the comfortable returns of real estate instead. You will not be surprised to learn that he also promotes financial literacy through his Takeover Promotions.

As far as Barboza is concerned, we do not really know any details about where he invests his money (or even if he invests his money), so we cannot really speak about the interim champ’s investments. What do you think about Teofimo Lopez and Arnold Barboza’s finances?
