It may be one of the quietest high-stakes fights boxing fans have seen. But make no mistake, it’s also among the most significant. Day after tomorrow, at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, a Matchroom-DAZN card will feature a welterweight title unification bout between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis.
This is the kind of matchup fans clamor for. One that usually takes two or three years to come together. A technically brilliant boxer like Ennis squaring off with one of the division’s most relentless swarmer-brawlers has been a long-awaited showdown. Given what’s on the line, there’s heightened curiosity about the earnings involved. The curiosity appears more pronounced for Ennis, who carries Philadelphia’s rich boxing tradition on his shoulders and hopes to establish himself among the sport’s elite. Many are wondering: What is Jaron Ennis’ net worth, and how much is he expected to make from this bout?
Jaron Ennis’ 2025 net worth and sponsorships
To begin with, there appears to be a near-complete lack of consensus regarding Jaron Ennis’ actual net worth. Citing ‘Popular Net Worth,’ some sources estimate his value between $250,000 and $300,000. However, a few others suggest a figure closer to $5 million. However, a closer look at Ennis’ recent fight purses suggests that the lower estimate significantly understates his financial standing. Ennis has been a professional for nearly a decade and boasts a record of 34 fights. The track record makes a net worth under half a million dollars seem implausible.

While boxing is undoubtedly his primary income source, it’s likely not his only stream. Despite not having the star power of names like Gervonta Davis, Terence Crawford, or Canelo Alvarez, Ennis commands a respectable fan base. Therefore, he may have likely attracted endorsement and sponsorship deals. According to ‘The SportsLite,’ Ennis is reportedly associated with Promountings, a sports equipment brand. There are whispers of a potential partnership with Nike as well.
So factoring in these endorsements and his boxing payouts, especially those from the past two years, a net worth in the ballpark of $3 to $5 million seems far more realistic.
How much does Boots earn? Boxing fight purses
When it comes to specific fight purses, the picture becomes much clearer. In November 2024, Ennis faced Karen Chukhadzhian in a rematch during his second title defense. Their first bout took place in January 2023, when Ennis defeated the Ukrainian to claim the interim IBF welterweight title. Following a purse bid, the rematch carried a total purse of $2,000,053.10.
As the titleholder, Ennis was entitled to 65% of the split, giving him a payout of $1,300,034.52. Chukhadzhian took home $700,018.58. Just four months earlier, Ennis had defended his full welterweight title for the first time against David Avanesyan. Originally scheduled against Codey Crowley, the fight met with cancellation after the Canadian fighter pulled out due to a retina issue. According to eminent boxing insider Mike Coppinger, Ennis was set to earn around $3,315,000. Avanesyan, on the other hand, would receive approximately $585,000.

That bout marked Ennis’ debut with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, and he secured the win via a fifth-round corner retirement. Reports also noted that Ennis claimed over 85% of the total purse. So basically, in addition to defending his title, the Philadelphia native walked away with over $3 million.
Now compare that to July 8, 2023, when Ennis defended his interim title against Roiman Villa. Ennis earned a guaranteed purse of $125,000 and claimed 60% of the PPV revenue, bringing his total earnings to around $200,000.
Before that, on May 14, he faced Custio Clayton in a twelve-round non-title bout. The fight, set after purse bids, ended in a second-round KO for Ennis. As the A-side, he earned $400,000 from the total $500,000 purse. This upward trajectory is consistent throughout his career. In his October 30, 2021, bout against Thomas Dulorme, Ennis once again took the lion’s share, i.e., 60% of the fight purse.
In short, Ennis has been steadily climbing both inside and outside the ring. A growing bank account matches his evolution as a fighter. While still building toward mainstream stardom, Ennis’ earnings are beginning to reflect his status as one of the sport’s brightest young stars.
According to multiple reports, Jaron Ennis could potentially earn up to $2.5 million from the unification bout against Eimantas Stanionis, who may take home around $1.5 million.
Should Ennis deliver the dominant win many expect, he could be on track for a career-high payday in future fights. A victory here would not only cement his place among boxing’s elite but also boost his earning potential significantly. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is entering a defining chapter in his career. With a steadily growing resume, increasing purses, and potential big-name sponsors backing him, he is poised to become one of the major figures in boxing’s next era.
