Daniel Rodriguez Earns Over 4 Million Baht in Three RWS Fights
Daniel Rodriguez successfully defended his RWS title for the fifth time, knocking out Angel Bauzsa in round three at Saturday's RWS 200 event and earning over 4 million baht in combined purses and bonuses from his last three fights.
Following the historic RWS 200 event on Saturday, June 27, Daniel Rodriguez impressively defended his championship title for the fifth time with a stunning third-round knockout of Ankhel Bauwsa, capping off the night's main card perfectly.
Beyond the successful championship defense, this fight marked one of Rodriguez's most lucrative paydays. He claimed 1.55 million baht in bonuses alone, comprising 500,000 baht for winning the superfight, 500,000 baht for the superfight knockout bonus, 500,000 baht for the special RWS 200 knockout bonus, and 50,000 baht for the striking technique bonus.
Combining his three most recent superfights with RWS, Rodriguez has accumulated over 4 million baht in total earnings and bonuses:
- Defeated Petchmroket Bangmadklongtan by points (R80 80th Anniversary event, December 27) - 500,000 baht in bonuses - Defeated Hercules Beschard by fourth-round knockout (RWS April Inferno, April 18) - 1,000,000 baht in bonuses - Defeated Ankhel Bauwsa by third-round knockout (RWS 200, June 27) - 1,550,000 baht in bonuses
With 3.05 million baht in bonuses alone across these three fights, plus substantial fight purses, Rodriguez has earned well over 4 million baht combined. It's clear why Buakaow Banchamek chose to pass on the traditional Muay Thai techniques to Rodriguez, allowing him to carry forward Thai boxing's legacy to the world. Rodriguez has proven himself worthy of this honor and now stands as the pound-for-pound number one fighter in authentic Muay Thai rules.
