Chase DeMoor claims Andrew Tate bumped him for his $3 million fight purse
What was supposed to be a blockbuster influencer boxing payday has now turned into another headline-grabbing fallout. Chase DeMoor has claimed that he was promised a jaw-dropping $3 million to fight Andrew Tate, only for that money to never arrive once the cameras stopped rolling. The allegation has quickly picked up traction online, with fans questioning how such a high-profile bout could end in a financial dispute.
DeMoor’s comments suggest that talks before the fight painted a very different picture to what happened after. The matchup was heavily promoted, drew massive attention, and was framed as a lucrative return to the ring for Andrew Tate. According to DeMoor, the money discussed during negotiations reflected that scale. Instead, he now claims he was effectively cut loose once the fight was done.
The word “dumped” has stood out most in DeMoor’s account. It implies more than just a disagreement over numbers, hinting at a relationship that only existed for the duration of the event. Once Tate had his opponent and his spotlight moment, DeMoor says communication faded and the promised payout never came.
This situation has once again highlighted the shaky foundations of influencer boxing. Unlike traditional boxing, where purses are tightly regulated and contractually defined, crossover fights often rely on loose agreements, revenue projections, and verbal assurances. When expectations don’t line up with reality, disputes like this are almost inevitable.

For DeMoor, the claim is significant. Publicly stating that millions were promised but not delivered puts pressure on Tate’s camp to clarify what was actually agreed. Silence only fuels speculation, and fans are already debating whether the figure was realistic or exaggerated.
For Tate, the controversy threatens to overshadow the fight itself. His public image is built on power, control, and financial success, and allegations of unpaid promises strike directly at that narrative.
Whether this turns into a legal battle or simply fades into influencer boxing folklore remains to be seen. What’s certain is that the $3 million claim has reignited debate about trust, transparency, and money in the crossover fight world.
