Jorge Masvidal Wins Legal Victory Worth Millions Against Fanmio

UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal has been favored by a Florida judge, who awarded him a default judgment for more than $5 million in his lawsuit against the online platform Fanmio. Judge Beatrice Butchko Sanchez approved Masvidal’s request, following the ruling of an arbitrator who awarded the former BMF champion the sum of $5,315,268.64, plus post-judgment interest related to his boxing match. Masvidal filed the lawsuit against Fanmio in January, alleging that his agreement for the fight against Nate Diaz included a $6 million purse, plus an additional million if he won the fight. Masvidal lost the fight by decision and claimed to have received only a $150,000 advance and a $1 million payment. The referee ruled in favor of Masvidal, and with the final approval, this matter has been resolved. However, Fanmio still faces litigation with other fighters. Nate Diaz also sued Fanmio, claiming more than $9 million. An arbitrator awarded Diaz $6 million, in addition to attorney’s fees. This case is still awaiting final approval. In March, Fanmio filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia for a canceled exhibition match with Rukiya Anpo, scheduled for December 31, 2024. Garcia chose to fight Rolando Romero in May.
