Here at SportsCasting we have decided to take an in-depth look at Sean O’Malley’s net worth, career earnings and sponsorship deals. According to MMA Salaries, Sean O’Malley’s net worth is estimated to be in the region of $3 million+.
It is reported that ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley has earned most of his net worth through his career in the UFC and other MMA promotions. Various endorsements and revenue streams from outside the octagon also heavily contribute to O’Malley’s riches. More on his endorsements a bit later.
Sean O’Malley’s MMA record is 18-1 (1NC), meaning his biggest paydays are still yet to come. He is considered as next Conor McGregor for UFC, being an outspoken, rising bantamweight with an array of skills and frightening knock-out power. Despite still being a relatively new kid on the block, O’Malley has proved that he is an elite fighter at 135-pounds.
As well as earning millions inside the octagon, Sean O’Malley likes some of the finer things in life too. He is believed to live in a mansion with his beloved wife, as well as having a collection of super cars and expensive jewellery. All of these assets contribute to Sean O’Malley’s increasing net worth.
He also has his own YouTube channel that boasts over 912,000 subscribers, which is often sponsored by a variety of brands. It’s safe to say that ‘Suga’ does well for himself and has a whole heap of cash in the bank.
Sean O’Malley Career Earnings
‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley has been earning highly lucrative purses ever since he first signed for the UFC. Given the star power and draw he has had from the outset, he has been earning some enormous purses in all of his UFC fights to date.
According to MMA Salaries, Sean O’Malley’s career earnings inside the octagon equates to around $5 million. This is far less than the likes of Conor McGregor, Jon Jones or Israel Adesanya, but is still a pretty lucrative number for someone competing in the bantamweight division.
This figure of $5m is mainly down to his success over the past two years. ‘Suga’ earned his first seven figure purse when beating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 and becoming the UFC bantamweight king in the process.
The single biggest purse of O’Malley’s career came last time out at UFC 299 in Miami, Florida. ‘Suga’ reportedly pocketed somewhere in the region of $2,267,000 for his maiden 135-pound UFC Title defense in his rematch with Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera, per MMA Salaries.
Looking at Sean O’Malley’s previous fight purses, the biggest purse of his career prior to the Sterling and Vera rematch fights came against former UFC 135-pound champion Petr Yan. ‘Suga’ reportedly pocketed $356,000 for his decision victory over Yan.
O’Malley also reportedly made a purse of $506k for his fight with Pedro Munhoz at UFC 297, but wasn’t awarded his full purse due to the fight being awarded as a no contest. He has earned several other six-figure purses throughout his UFC career too.
Don’t be surprised if ‘Suga’ earns upward of seven figures in all of his UFC fights going forward. Not bad for someone competing in the 135-pound division.
