His pay-per-view fights and lucrative contracts also contribute significantly to his earnings.

In March 2022, it was reported that a fight between Charlo and former light middleweight world champion Jaime Munguía (39-0, 31 KOs) was being explored to take place in June 2022 in Houston. Munguía had previously moved on from talks involving Janibek Alimkhanuly (11-0, 7 KOs), which the WBO ordered for their interim title.
Whilst negotiations continued, ESPN reported the fight would not come off. The main point was due to the two sides not agreeing which platform the fight would air.
TGB Promotions, who work on behalf of PBC, made the offer for the fight to air on Showtime, however Golden Boy Promotions, who promote Munguia along with Zanfer Promotions, work with DAZN, were hoping the fight could air on both platforms via pay-per-view.
One solution, which came from Stephen Espinoza, was the fight to take place on Showtime PPV, as PBC was the lead promotion and in the event that Munguia won, Charlo would be able to trigger a rematch clause, which would then take place on DAZN PPV as Golden Boy would be the lead promotion.
According to De La Hoya, unless DAZN were involved in the event, the fight would not happen.
