My Digging into Errol Spence Jr.’s Stash
Alright, so today I got this itch, you know? Was thinking about boxing, specifically about Errol Spence Jr. Solid fighter, “The Truth” they call him. Made me wonder, how much cash has this guy actually piled up over his career? Seemed like a simple enough question to answer, so I decided to spend a bit of time looking into it.
First thing I did, obviously, was hop onto my computer. Fired up the ol’ search engine. Typed in the basics: “Errol Spence Jr net worth”. Hit enter and waited for the magic.
Sure enough, a whole load of pages popped up. You know how it is. All these websites – celebrity net worth this, sports finance that – flashing numbers at me. Saw a few different figures thrown around.
- Some sites were saying around $7 million.
- Others nudged it up a bit, maybe $9 million.
- A couple even went higher, pushing into double digits.
Okay, so right away, it wasn’t clear-cut. That’s pretty standard with these kinds of searches, honestly. You never get just one straight answer. Everyone seems to have their own calculation or maybe they’re just copying off each other, who knows?
So, I started clicking through a few of the top results. Tried to see where they were getting their info. Were they looking at reported fight purses? Endorsement deals? Any official statements? Mostly, it felt like guesswork. They’d mention his big fights – the Garcia fight, the Ugas fight, and of course, the massive one against Crawford. Those definitely brought in some serious pay-per-view money, no doubt about it. That’s where the big bucks usually are for guys at his level.
But then you gotta think about the other side of it. It’s not just about the gross earnings. There’s a whole bunch of stuff that eats into that pile.
- Taxes, obviously. Uncle Sam always gets his cut.
- Manager fees, trainer costs, paying the whole team.
- Camp expenses aren’t cheap either.
- Plus, whatever he spends on his own lifestyle. Cars, houses, the usual stuff.
Tried looking for more reliable sources. Maybe Forbes lists? Sometimes they track athlete earnings. Dug around a bit more, searched for specific fight purse breakdowns reported by sports news outlets I trust. Found some articles talking about guaranteed purses and potential pay-per-view shares for his major bouts. Those numbers seemed more concrete, often in the millions per fight, especially for the later ones.
After poking around for a while, reading different pages, comparing the figures, I kinda came to a realization. Getting a truly accurate, nailed-on number for Errol Spence Jr.’s net worth? It’s tough. Almost impossible, really, unless you’re his accountant or the man himself shows you his bank balance.
So, what’s the takeaway from my little digging session? Well, he’s definitely made a lot of money. Comfortable, for sure. Millions, absolutely. Probably somewhere in the high single-digit millions, maybe cracking low double-digits, seems like a reasonable ballpark based on the big paydays. But all those specific numbers plastered online? Gotta take them with a massive grain of salt. They’re estimates, educated guesses at best. My process just confirmed that finding the ‘real’ number is murky business. Ended the search knowing he’s done well, but without a precise figure I could confidently quote. Just how it goes sometimes with this stuff.
