Chase DeMoor selling his Tate fight shorts — is he broke?
Chase DeMoor has once again set social media talking after confirming he is selling the fight shorts he wore against Andrew Tate. The auction is set to start at $5,000, a detail that has only intensified speculation around his financial situation. This comes shortly after DeMoor also sold his fight-worn gloves from the same bout, prompting many fans to ask the same blunt question: is Chase DeMoor broke?
The timing has raised eyebrows, but it also highlights how quickly influencer boxing moments move. DeMoor’s win over Andrew Tate under the Misfits Boxing banner was one of the most discussed crossover fights of the year, generating viral clips and weeks of online debate.
Cash grab or calculated move?
Context is key here. There is currently no public evidence suggesting DeMoor is struggling financially. No reports of unpaid purses, disputes with promoters, or off-ring money problems have surfaced. What has surfaced instead is a fighter openly leaning into the commercial side of a viral win.
DeMoor previously made it clear that the proceeds from selling his fight-worn gloves would go directly to him, a statement that fuelled both criticism and attention. Now, by listing the shorts at a $5,000 starting price, he is clearly testing how much value fans attach to memorabilia from a highly polarising fight.
SHOP: Kickboxing Equipment
In traditional boxing, selling multiple items from the same bout might feel excessive or even desperate. In the influencer boxing world, however, relevance is short-lived. The value of fight-worn gear peaks immediately after a big moment, not months later when the internet has moved on to the next storyline.
So, is Chase DeMoor broke? Based on what is publicly known, no. What this looks like instead is a calculated attempt to maximise earnings from the biggest win and most talked-about moment of his boxing career, while people are still paying attention.
