Introduction

Terence Crawford is an American former professional boxer with an estimated net worth of $8 Million.

Crawford is considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He holds multiple world titles in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions and began his professional career in 2008. He quickly made a name for himself as a top contender in the lightweight division and won his first world title in 2014, defeating Ricky Burns for the WBO lightweight title.

Net Worth History

When we first started tracking Terrence Crawford’s net worth in 2023, he was estimated to be worth $8 million. However, this estimate was made before his last three fights with Errol Spence, Israil Madrimov, and Canelo, which earned him at least $37.5 million in total. His actual earnings, in all likelihood, were much higher than this. As a result, recent estimates place Crawford’s net worth at approximately $8 Million at the time of writing.

Boxing Career

Terence Crawford began his professional career in 2008, at the age of 21, and quickly established himself as a top contender in the lightweight division. He won his first world title in 2014, defeating Ricky Burns on a judge’s decision for the WBO lightweight title. This victory established Crawford as a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world, and he went on to defend his title several times.

In 2015, Crawford moved up to the junior welterweight division and defeated Thomas Dulorme to win the WBO Junior Welterweight title. He then successfully defended his title several times, including a victory over Viktor Postol, in which he unified the WBO and WBC titles. This victory solidified Crawford’s status as one of the best fighters in the world, and he was recognized as such, with The Ring Magazine naming him the Fighter of the Year in 2017.

In 2017, Crawford moved up to the welterweight division and defeated Jeff Horn to win the WBO Welterweight title. This was a historic victory, as it made Crawford the only boxer in history to hold all four major world titles in the lightweight division.

In a previous interview, which we’ll discuss shortly, Terence Crawford recounted his fight purses from the earliest years of his career. Crawford earned just $600 for his first professional boxing bout, which was actually less than he earned as an amateur. He also mentioned that it took him roughly twelve fights before he began earning $2,500 per fight. In other words, Bud’s first twelve pro bouts potentially earned him less than $20,000.

Top Rank Contract & Earnings

In the early 2010s, Bud Crawford signed a contract with the boxing promotion, Top Rank. Thanks to a 2019 lawsuit, we can see how much he earned from several of his fights under the promotion. The first of which was a $500,000 base purse for defending the WBO World Lightweight title against Yuriorkis Gamboa in June 2014. He also received an additional $21,931.60 from a share of the ticket sales. Later that year, he earned $800,000 for defending the title against Ray Beltran.

In October 2015, Crawford earned a total purse of $1,226,824 from his fight against Dierry Jean. The following year, he fought three times, all under the Top Rank promotion, earning $1.2 million against Hank Lundy, $1.3 million against Viktor Postol, and finally, just over $1.5 million against John Molina Jr. The last two fight purses disclosed in the lawsuit were $1.65 million against Felix Diaz in May 2017 and $2 million against Julius Indongo in August 2017.

Peak Career Fight Purses

Following on from the above, Crawford began earning significantly more money per fight. This includes guaranteed purses of $3.625 million against Jose Benevidez Jr. and $4 million against Egidijus Kavaliauskas from the promoter. From then on, Crawford typically earned at least $3.5 million per fight, with notable paydays of $5.5 million (base purse) in his 2019 bout with Amir Khan, and $6 million against Shawn Porter (2021).

The highest-disclosed purse of Bud Crawford’s career was his 2023 fight against Errol Spence Jr., in which he earned a total of $25 million. Technically, other fights could have earned him more, but this was his highest known purse.

As for his shocking upset decision win over Canelo Alvarez in September 2025, reports suggest Terrence earned a base purse of $10 million. His total earnings from the fight were never publicly disclosed, though some suggest it could have been as much as $30 million. Still, nothing has been confirmed, so we’ve only listed his base purse in our calculations.

How Crawford Spent His First $1 Million

In July 2023, Terence Crawford was interviewed by GQ for its My First Million series, which has previously featured numerous professional athletes. Some of the other fighters to be interviewed for the series include Canelo, Israel Adesanya, and Kamaru Usman. In the series, athletes describe how they spent their first million dollars; however, note that the term is used loosely. Some discuss their first $1 million in expenditures, which could have been spread over a long period. Others outline how they spent their first $1 million in earnings.

In Terence Crawford’s case, he appears to be talking about how he spent his earnings from 2015 and 2016, when he began earning more than $1 million per fight. With that in mind, here’s a breakdown of how Bud Crawford spent his first million dollars:

• Sister’s house – $260,000
• Second sister’s house – $250,000
• Four-bedroom home – $150,000
• Gym building – $100,000
• GMC Denali – $85,000
• Pickup truck – $80,000
• Grandma’s house – $80,000

Expenses Summary

Analyzing the above expenses, Crawford spent 84% ($840,000) of his first million dollars on real estate, of which $590,000 went toward his family’s homes. He bought each of his sisters a house and spent roughly $80,000 to help his Grandma remodel her home. Crawford then spent $150,000 on his home in Nebraska and $100,000 to buy the building that housed his gym. Terence and his team had initially been renting half the building, but when the landlord died, his wife sold the building to Crawford. This is currently the home of his B&B non-profit organization.

Lastly, Crawford spent the remaining 16% of the $1 million ($165,000) on two vehicles. This is a rather admirable account of his expenditure, as he didn’t start dropping tens of thousands of dollars on jewelry like most athletes. There’s no mention of his investments outside of real estate, but hopefully, they were just too boring for the video.

Legal Issues & Controversy

Crawford has been involved in several controversies during his career, including in 2016, when he was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska, for disorderly conduct and trespassing. However, the charges were later dropped, and in 2020, a public altercation occurred between Crawford and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. Crawford felt disrespected by the lack of promotion for his fight, but the situation was later resolved.

Crawford is also known for his trash-talking and charismatic personality, which have helped build his reputation as one of boxing’s biggest stars today. He is recognized for his philanthropy and charitable work, including numerous initiatives that support underprivileged children and young athletes in his hometown of Omaha.

Summary

Throughout his career, Crawford has faced some of the biggest names in the sport and has come out victorious in most of the encounters. He’s known for his trash-talking and charismatic personality, which have helped build his reputation as one of boxing’s biggest stars today. Crawford remains one of the most exciting and accomplished boxers in the sport’s history, with a career defined by excellence and consistency.
