As the desert sun dips low over the Coca-Cola Arena, casting long shadows across the squared circle, Chase DeMoor laces up for what could be the payday of a lifetime. The 29-year-old heavyweight kingpin of Misfits Boxing 6-foot-5, 215 pounds of raw, reality-TV-forged fury steps into the ring on December 20 against Andrew Tate, the self-proclaimed "Top G" with a kickboxing pedigree and a knack for controversy. It's billed as "The Fight Before Christmas," a five-round cruiserweight clash under the neon glow of influencer combat's wildest promotion. For DeMoor, the reigning Misfits heavyweight champ with an 8-4-2 record (6 KOs), this isn't just a title defense; it's a launchpad. Whispers peg his guaranteed purse at $500,000, with PPV points potentially doubling that if the event cracks 500,000 buys on DAZN. "This is my Super Bowl," DeMoor told TMZ in a pre-fight sit-down, his Eatonville drawl cutting through the hype. "Tate talks big money I live it. Win or learn, but I'm cashing checks either way."
DeMoor's ledger, as of December 2025, paints a portrait of the modern crossover warrior: a $2.5 million net worth, up from $1 million at the start of the year, pieced together from gridiron grit, Netflix flirtations, and bare-knuckle bankrolls. That's the consensus from outlets like Sidekick Boxing and Famous People Today, factoring in his blistering 2025 campaign five fights, four wins, three finishes that's ballooned his profile to 2.2 million Instagram followers (@chasedemoor) and 2.5 million on TikTok. Early estimates pegged him at $500,000 in 2023, a modest haul from Too Hot to Handle residuals and football fringes. But 2025? It's been a gold rush. "From the field to the ring, Chase turned heartbreak into hustle," says Misfits co-founder Mams Taylor. "His story's worth millions literally."
The foundation? Football, where DeMoor's dreams died hard but paid modestly. Born June 12, 1996, in Eatonville, Washington, to a single mom after his dad's passing at age 10, he channeled pain into pads. A standout defensive end at Eatonville High, he terrorized QBs at the College of the Siskiyous before transferring to Central Washington University, earning 2018 NCAA Division II Special Teams Player of the Year honors from Hero Sports 12 tackles for loss, 5 sacks in limited snaps. Post-grad, the grind: a Seattle Seahawks tryout, a COVID-cut rookie stint with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, then bounces through the Indoor Football League, The Spring League (where he championed with the Wildcats), and USFL's Michigan Panthers. Earnings? A reported $50,000-$75,000 annually across those leagues, per Sportskeeda breakdowns enough for survival, not stardom. "Football broke my heart," DeMoor admitted on a 2023 Perfect Match episode. "But it built my chin and my bank account just enough to bet on myself."
The pivot to reality TV was serendipity laced with spice. DeMoor's breakout came in June 2021 on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle Season 2, where his chiseled frame and "Mr. Belt to Ass" antics (earned for, well, extracurricular creativity) turned heads and wallets. The show netted him $30,000-$50,000 in appearance fees, plus a subscriber surge: TikTok from 100K to 1 million overnight, Instagram doubling to 500K. Follow-ups like Floor is Lava (2022, teamed with Misfits peer Tayler Holder), All Star Shore, Reality Games, and Perfect Match (2023) added $100,000 in residuals, per Moviedelic estimates. But the real revenue? Social alchemy. With 3 million average impressions per post, DeMoor pulls $70,000 yearly from TikTok's Creator Fund ($0.04 per 1,000 views) and $30,000 from YouTube (101K subs, 28 million views, 320 videos at $1.21 per 1,000 views). "Netflix opened doors; social media kicked 'em down," he posted on IG after a 2024 collab. OnlyFans subscriptions teasing fitness tips and behind-the-scenes chip in $20,000 annually, undisclosed but industry-standard for his tier.
Endorsements are the accelerator, turbocharging DeMoor from cult figure to cash cow. Partnerships with Gymshark (athleisure drops netting $50,000 per campaign), Bucked Up supplements ($40,000 in 2025 activations), and emerging fitness apps like HYROX (where he sprints in Spanish promo reels) have swelled his off-ring income to $300,000 this year alone. A March 2025 Battle Camp Netflix cameo ranking him among the cast's $500K earners added $75,000, while TikTok Shop hauls from apparel lines hit $100,000. "Brands love Chase's authenticity," Taylor notes. "He's not scripted he's savage." Total endorsements: $450,000 career, with 2025's Tate hype projected to lure blue-chippers like Under Armour.
Boxing? That's the bonanza. DeMoor's Misfits odyssey started rocky: a September 2022 no-contest debut vs. Cory Wharton at Social Gloves 2 ($10,000 purse), then a 0-3-1 skid including a TKO loss to Josh Brueckner (X Series 003) and a DQ vs. Stevie Knight. "Worst boxer I've seen," r/Boxing sneered (190 upvotes). Resurrection hit January 2024: a KO of Minikon ignited an eight-fight streak (seven finishes), culminating in November 2024's unanimous decision over Kelz for the vacant heavyweight strap his most polished, landing 58% power shots (CompuBox). Defenses? May 2025's third-round KO of Tank Tolman at Misfits 21 ($150,000, surviving his first knockdown); August's bizarre 52-second TKO of Natan Marcon at Misfits 22 ($200,000, post-egg-throwing melee); October's UD over 6-14 journeyman Devinson Guerra ($100,000); September's draw with Efrain Carranza Gonzalez ($75,000). Total boxing haul: $800,000 career, per Tapology and MMA Fighting filings 40% KO rate across 39 rounds.
The Tate tango? A seven-figure escalator. As +275 underdog to Tate's -400 (OddsChecker), DeMoor's base: $500,000, with 10% PPV upside ($200,000-$300,000 at 500K buys). Win bonuses and merch (his "King Chase" tees already at $50K sales) push it to $1 million. "Andrew needs this more than me," DeMoor clapped back on X after Tate's "mandatory" decree. "I'm the champ time to collect." Post-fight, whispers of Jake Paul undercards or KSI feuds could double his 2026 earnings.
Yet, for all the flash, DeMoor's grounded. No Lambos in his Long Beach garage just a modest $400,000 home bought post-title win, per property trackers. Philanthropy bites: 10% of fight purses to Eatonville youth sports, honoring his mom's sacrifices. At $2.5 million net worth midpoint of Sidekick's $1M-$3M range, edging Famous People Today's $2M he's no Conor, but he's proof: In crossover's chaos, a gridiron ghost can ghostwrite his fortune. "Heartbreak to heavyweight? That's my net worth," DeMoor reflected on Pound 4 Pound. Dubai looms title, triumph, or another chapter. Either way, Chase cashes in.
