“I own a Ferrari,” Jose Ramirez told YouTuber Will Evans, smiling, five months ago. As a former unified WBC and WBO world champ in the light welterweight division, the 32-year-old boxer never had to worry about making some big bucks. Sure, after losing against Josh Taylor in May 2021, he lost the chance to become the undisputed champion. Although Jaguar did go on to win three consecutive matches after that, the mark of a defeat tainted him again after losing against Arnold Barboza Jr. in November 2024.

Fast forward to now, his upcoming non-title bout with Devin Haney, who is returning to the ring after a year-long break from the sport, is an opportunity for Ramirez to set things in motion again. The match-off is set to happen on May 2 at Times Square, New York. This is his chance to gain that momentum and boost his marketability. But even if he loses, it seems like money-wise, the American boxer is already well-off for life.

That’s because Ramirez has made some smart financial decisions with his earnings through the 12 years of his professional career. While he prepares himself to throw punches at Haney and gain the same momentum he had four years ago, here’s everything to know about the boxer’s net worth in 2025, endorsements he’s currently making money from, recent fight purses, and investment portfolio.

Jose Ramirez’s 2025 net worth and endorsements

According to The Sports Elite, Jose Ramirez’s net worth was $10 million in 2024. And, that’s probably true for this year as well, since the Devin Haney fight will be Ramirez’s first appearance in the ring this year. So, any significant income he earned through his boxing career recently was in his battle against Barboza Jr. It was a high-profile bout, and Ramirez has at least fought 10 such fights in his entire boxing career. Even when defending his titles, he earned $ 250,000 per fight.

Sources say that apart from showing his skills inside the ropes, Ramirez also makes significant money through brand deals and endorsements. He is partnered with well-known brands such as Under Armour, Reebok, and others. For endorsements, Ramirez is backed by Cleto Reyes, El Jefe Tequila, and Chukchansi Resort. So, these earnings boost his net worth significantly as well. Even while making that kind of money, Ramirez has looked to benefit others, too.

In his bout against Victor Postol in 2020, Ramirez had his boxing gear auctioned off at a winning bid of $25,000 to benefit agricultural workers in Kings County. So over the years, he has also been actively uplifting his public image aside from earning a chunk load of money through his ring skills.

How much does Jose Ramirez earn? Purse and salary

For a boxer, there is no such thing as a salary. Their earnings are more on a fight-to-fight basis. As for Ramirez’s annual income, considering all the fight purses, and also what he makes through investments and sponsorships, it is around $1.2 million on average. Since most of his earnings come from his fight purses (money a boxer receives after any fight as a part of their fight contract), let’s take a look at a few of his recent ones.

When Ramirez fought Richard Commey in March 2023, he’d reportedly earned a purse of $1 million according to the California State Athletic Commission. The fight had happened at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, and it was an 11th-round knockout that brought Ramirez his victory. Similar to this one, in a 2019 bout against Maurice Hooker, he made $1.5 million. So, that seems to be the base amount of what Ramirez is able to make through his fights.

Though for high-profile bouts like his title match with Josh Taylor, or his fight with Arnold Barboza Jr, Ramirez made more than this usual amount. According to Sporty Salaries, Ramirez made $1.1 million from the fight purse when he fought Rances Barthelemy in April last year. After pooling in his share of the pay-per-view revenue, his earnings reportedly totaled $3.5 million. For the Taylor fight, too, the fight purse had been $600k, but the overall share of his earnings increased to $2.2 million after considering the PPV revenue (when people pay to watch the match at home).

For fighting with Barboza as well, Ramirez earned a similar $1 million purse. But, the real deal for a boxer’s earnings is actually through the PPV revenue in high-profile bouts, rather than the fight purse. Now, with all of that money, where has Ramirez spent or utilized it? Remember when we said that Jose Ramirez is well-off when it comes to money for years to come? Well, there is a reason why. Although he’s known to be a materialistic person, he’s been wise with his income.

How does Jose Ramirez invest his money?

“In 2019, I fought two fights. My first fight was a title defence. And then my second fight in that year was a unification match [against Maurice Hooker]. That was my biggest year. With sponsorships and everything, I made almost $4 million dollars,” said Ramirez in the interview with Will Evans, reminiscing about the past.

He had wanted to buy a Ferrari at the time, but guess what? He chose to wait. “I wrote $1.2 million to my stock portfolio. This was in 2019. And, I got lucky. Because that’s when everything went up,” Ramirez had continued. “I bought my house, I bought a farm. All down payments…The private bank for allowing me to borrow money off that [my investments] without touching my principal, was at 1.3 percent interest. I gave myself a $325k loan.”

And then, smartly making 12-14 percent off his portfolio per month, he went ahead and got the car of his dreams. “I went and bought myself that Ferrari. In my next year, 2020 I made some good money. I bought another house in Clovis, next to Fresno. And, I remember giving my dad a gift to open up his agricultural business,” Ramirez said confidently.

With all that said, it is evident that Jose Ramirez is not just good at boxing, but also at managing his finances. Over a decade in the sport, he has managed to earn millions, while also leaving an empire for his retirement and family. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Ramirez has a healthy relationship with money?
