Is Mauricio Lara Richer Than His opponent Leigh Wood?
The answer is no because Leigh Wood has a greater net worth than Mauricio Lara. The former WBA featherweight champion has earned insane amounts in his previous fights. His fight with Michael Conlan earned him a fight purse of $825,000 with a PPV share of 55%. He has constantly earned millions since stepping into the ring against some of the tough opponents who had 50/50 odds. As of 2023, Leigh Wood has an estimated net worth of $5 million. In his previous fight with Lara, he earned a fight purse of $500,000 despite losing the bout via TKO.
On the other hand, Mauricio Lara has become a prime icon in the featherweight division. His wins over notable names in the featherweight class earned him a lot of money. However, his fight purse is not much greater than Leigh Wood’s. Currently, Mauricio Lara has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million. His last 3 fights gave him a total of $1 million. Earlier this year, he earned a fight purse of $350,000 for defeating Leigh Wood for the featherweight title.
There is no surprise Lara has a low net worth now. However, his career will soon earn him millions if he continues to dominate the featherweight division and goes for the Undisputed title. The 25-year-old has just knocked out the best WBO champion Wood and this rematch will decide the Mexican fighter’s future in the featherweight division.
