Thread: Which fighter has made the most money in History....?

I'm going with Foreman and his grill
Leonard maybe or Oscar (post PBF) and Ali must have made a fair bit.
Who do you think has made the most purely from fight purses?

I would guess Tyson. He had several fights where he made in the 25-30 million range per fight.
Tyson would also be in first place if you made a list of which fighters have blown the most money.

Don King

He was a champ of double manslaughter

Tyson must have been well up there as it goes

Evander must have made a pile.
Big george did make more off the grill than in boxing.
If i remember it was 100 million vs 300 million? can that be right?

Larry Holmes made a pile too. i think he owns like 1/2 of his hometown in Louisville,Kentucky (I think)

In terms of off boxng its Evander Holyfied and Tyson.

I think De La Hoyas still the highest paid outside of the heavyweights.

As far as the richest its got to be Scmelling

I would of said Leonard, DLH, Tyson (before he went off the rails), Holyfield, Mayweather will be making his way up soon enough though.
