How Much Money Has Vasyl Lomachenko Earned from His Boxing Career?

Vasyl Lomachenko, the former world lightweight champion, has earned enough accolades in his fighting career to cement himself in the top-tier slot. Besides, it has brought sheer stardom and success to the Ukrainian legend. ‘The Matrix’ holds an active record of 14-2, which may not look very impressive, especially when there are umpteen unbeaten champions around.

However, Lomachenko’s technicality and Olympic success have helped him become a household name. Hence, the Ukrainian star is undoubtedly one of the highest-paid boxers of the time. The 33-year-old has a reported net worth of $10 million, and a lot of it has come from his in-ring scraps.

While he continues to accept big fights, Lomachenko’s earnings are in steady growth. However, he doesn’t seem to fight for money any longer. ‘Loma’ has earned enough to hang his gloves and spend the rest of his life without working. Despite this, he is still hungry for challenges and is a relevant name in the lightweight championship ride. Here’s a look at his earnings from boxing.

Vasyl Lomachenko and his paydays

FightStreak says Lomachenko has appeared in at least eight million dollar paydays, with a big one coming in his last appearance against Teofimo Lopez. Although Lomachenko lost his world titles to the 23-year-old, he still walked away with massive earnings of $3.25 million. Meanwhile, Lomachenko also bagged 65% PPV shares which handsomely increased his financial numbers.

‘The Matrix’ bagged his biggest fight purse when he vanquished Luke Campbell for the unified lightweight titles in 2019. Apart from a $3.5 million guaranteed payout, he also received a 50% PPV. While the purses against Lopez and Campbell clearly top the list, the other ones also bulked up Lomachenko’s bank account. Here’s a glimpse of the list.

Oppositions Guaranteed pay Pay-Per-View Share Year
Anthony Crolla $3 million 60% 2019
Jose Pedraza $2 million 60% 2018

Roman Martinez $950,000 60% 2016

The source also claims that Lomachenko has earned $20 million from his unfinished fighting career. Meanwhile, ‘The Matrix’ has received some lucrative sponsorships like Venum on his contract.
