Figueroa, on the other hand, is on a three-fight winning streak since losing to Fulton back in November 2021 via majority decision. Though Figueroa has revenge on his mind ahead of this fight, he will get a lot more than that after the fight comes to an end. In fact, fighting on the Benavidez-Morrell undercard, both boxers are expected to make substantial amounts. But how much?

What is Brandon Figueroa’s fight purse against Stephen Fulton?

Brandon Figueroa is set to make a guaranteed $750,000 for his rematch against Stephen Fulton. However, his earnings could significantly increase if the event performs well on pay-per-view. According to Total Sportal, if PPV sales exceed 850,000 buys, Figueroa will earn an additional $2 million, making this one of the biggest paydays of his career.

Before his first fight with Fulton in November 2021, Figueroa was estimated to have a net worth of around $1.5 million, primarily from his in-ring earnings. He had built an impressive resume, securing victories over fighters like Luis Nery, Damien Vasquez, and Javier Nicolas Chacon. However, Fulton handed him his only career loss, making this rematch a crucial opportunity for redemption.

Figueroa’s earnings have steadily grown over the years. He reportedly made $500,000 for his last fight against Mark Magsayo and earned $650,000 for his bout against Jessie Magdaleno. 

Stephen Fulton’s earning in his next fight

Stephen Fulton is set to make a guaranteed $500,000 for his highly anticipated rematch against Brandon Figueroa. However, his earnings could be a lot more if the fight does good numbers on pay-per-view. According to Total Sportal, if sales surpass 850,000 buys, Fulton will pocket an additional $1.5 million, bringing his total potential payout to $2 million.

Fulton’s earnings have steadily increased throughout his career, thanks to both his in-ring success and smart business decisions. His biggest payday came in July 2023 when he faced Naoya Inoue, earning a career-high $3 million despite losing his WBC and WBO Super Bantamweight titles. Before that, he made $1.8 million in his first fight with Figueroa and $1.5 million for his title defense against Daniel Roman.

With both fighters locked in and ready for battle in Las Vegas, the stage is set for an electrifying showdown. You know their payouts, but the real question remains—who takes the win? Drop your predictions in the comments!
