Jorge Masvidal Wins Legal Victory Worth Millions Against Fanmio
UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal has achieved a significant legal victory. A Florida judge awarded him a default judgment of over $5 million in his lawsuit against the online platform Fanmio. Judge Beatrice Butchko Sanchez approved Masvidal’s request after an arbitrator awarded the former BMF champion $5,315,268.64, plus post-judgment interest, related to his 2024 boxing match against Nate Diaz. Masvidal sued Fanmio in January, alleging that his agreement for the fight with Diaz included a $6 million purse, plus an additional million if he won. Masvidal lost the fight by decision and stated that he only received a $150,000 advance and a $1 million payment.However, Fanmio still faces litigation with other fighters. Nate Diaz filed a lawsuit against Fanmio two weeks later, claiming more than $9 million. An arbitrator awarded Diaz $6 million, in addition to attorney’s fees. That case is still awaiting final approval. In March, Fanmio filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia.A referee ruled in favor of Masvidal, and with the final approval, this matter has been resolved.
