A Florida judge awarded UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal<\/a> a default judgment of over $5 million in his lawsuit against online platform Fanmio, the company that promoted his 2024 boxing match<\/a> against Nate Diaz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Judge Beatrice Butchko Sanchez signed off on Masvidal’s request to grant the judgement after an arbitrator awarded the former BMF champion $5,315,268.64 and additional post-judgment interest from the fight.<\/p>\n

Masvidal sued Fanmio in January and stated that his deal for the Diaz fight was to include a purse of $6 million, plus an additional $1 million if he won the fight. Masvidal would lose the fight by decision and later claimed that his only payments were a $150,000 advance and a $1 million payment.<\/p>\n

An arbitrator sided with Masvidal and with the final sign-off, this matter has been put to rest. However, Fanmio is still engaged in lawsuits with fighters.<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz filed a lawsuit against Fanmio two weeks after the Masvidal, claiming he was owed over $9 million<\/a>. An arbitrator awarded Diaz $6 million, along with attorney fees. That case is still awaiting a final sign-off.<\/p>\n

In March, Fanmio filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia<\/a> over a canceled exhibition match with Rukiya Anpo that was slated to take place on Dec. 31, 2024. Garcia opted to instead fight Rolando Romero in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andreas HaleOct 17, 2025, 06:19 AM CloseAndreas Hale is a combat sports reporter at ESPN.
