It’s been over a decade since George Kambosos Jr. started fighting professionally.

If a few cite his net worth (2024) as $5 million, others mention that it could be around $1.5 million. ‘Sporty Salaries’ feels that Kambosos Jr.’s net worth should be touching the $20 million mark. But their assessment combines earnings made through both boxing fights and endorsement deals.

How much does George Kambosos Jr. earn? Boxing fight purse

Based on the details shared by ‘Sporty Salaries,’ it appears George Kambosos Jr.’s guaranteed purse for tomorrow’s fight could be approximately $750,000. Given that he holds the lion’s share of the pay-per-view revenue, based on the sales, his overall payout from the fight could be over $2 million.

Despite his losses, George Kambosos Jr. remains a huge draw in Australia. It basically explains why he receives hefty payouts from each fight. Take, for instance, last year’s Lomachenko fight. With a 60% PPV share topping up the $1.5 million guaranteed purse, he took home nearly $5.5 million.

A year before, when he fought England’s Maxi Hughes, George Kambosos Jr. had a 70% stake in the PPV buyout. According to rough estimates, his overall payout from the title fight made Kambosos Jr. richer by $7 million! But it was the Devin Haney fights that proved to be a windfall for the Australian boxing star. Despite back-to-back defeats, in 2022, Kambosos Jr. made a whopping $11 million from both the fights combined.

Going back further, it was the unification fight with Teofimo Lopez that fetched Kambosos Jr. his first six-figure payday. The split decision victory over a reigning champion saw the Sydney-born fighter receiving a $2.1 million purse.

Eight years ago, when Kambosos Jr. fought fellow Australian Qamil Balla in New Zealand, he received $10,000. Since then, in terms of sheer payday, it has been a massive turnaround over the past three years.

Many expect an easy win for George Kambosos Jr. If that happens, who do you expect him to fight next?
