That is SHOCKING, I checked boxrec and that is right but I just find it astounding as Ruddock was a solid fighter.

I am surprised that it took so many years after Tunney/Dempsey for a fighter to get million doller purse.

Tyson twice for a start!
He earned $13 for the two fights against Tyson;)
What a money making machine Tyson was. What would that figure be today?
Re: I was shocked to learn that Felix Trinidad...
Based on an inflation calculator, Ruddock would have earned over $22 million this year for his 2 fights against Mike Tyson!
That is incredible!

He earned it over the 18ish rounds he got his jaw busted and ribs bruised.

He still carried on for a few more years getting splattered by Lennox and having an epic battle with Morrison.
