I was reading this article about nas' accident and it quoted that Hamed is worth 70 million pounds :o. which is 130 million US. There is no way he made all of that from boxing. was he actually a prince and is this his inheritance money.

Almost any time you hear an estimation of someone's net worth, no matter what publication, it's always exaggerated. Prince is one of the wealthiest non heavyweights of all time, and had numerous endorsements but he is worth no where near 70 million pounds.
Title of thread: How is Prince Naseem worth 70 million pounds?
I think what you meant to type was
Title of thread: DAMN!!! Prince Naseem looks like he weighs 70 million pounds?
8)
Damn!! I miss doing those... :)
i think he made 30 million out of his career...
Chris Eubank made 15 million, and Nigel Benn made 10 million.....now this is pounds, so i dunno what's that's equvilent to dollars
I know usually celebrities net worth are exagerated if someone says a guy is worth 100 million he is usually worth 70 or 80 so even if the figure is distorted he must be at least remotely close to it. if it is announced that he is worth 70 mil in reality it won't be like 10 million. so either ways I fail to comprehend how he made so much in boxing. he only fought one mega fight, was he born into an affluent familyQuote:

okay I extensively searched to find out about hamed's fortune and apparently he and his brother have 'property and agriculture business'
There's an old saying that goes something like "Your always richer whenever someone else is counting your money."Quote:

Alot of good that did him.
Did him better then retiring after James beat him. And you and I both know he was robbed against Rocci.
Yeah, he was. Nunn should of won that fight. But you know as well as I that Nunn would of lost to Jones.Quote:

Sad part about it is, he should of been alot more. Unlike Hamed, he knew how to fight.
Just because you don't fight the way the general public believes a boxer should fight doens't mean you can't fight... prime examples are Roy Jones Jr., and Ali.
Hamed knew how to fight either.Quote:

With Naz it was hanging with the arse kissers and reading the newspaper.
Hamed could punch. He couldn't fight. Barerra showed everybody that. It was Hamed wicked power that carried him to the top.Quote:

It was when he depended on his power solely that he looked bad when he got away from his style and instead went to just searching for one punch that got him exposed.
I agree. Anyway I'm out. Good discussion. You made good points. That cc was from me. Late
back at you
fatboy naz may have plenty of cash but he had no heart, he only ever fought one world class guy, lost, then was never seen in the ring again
Correct he made 30 million from his career.Quote:

If you saw that that documentary about him i wouldnt be surprised if he hasnt much left
spends like no tomorrow
That paper is known for telling lies
Investment + boxing + plus all that sponsership money from adidas and other companies could have netted him ~50 or so maybe.
SOrry just realised the guy above me said this,, nvm
No wonder he doesn't fight anymore, he made enough!
and ALL the money in the world couldn't by him the title of "GREAT" next to his name cuz no matter how much money he made he can't buy that. 8)
Naz was huge in the Yemin and Saudia Arabia. He got given houses, expensive cars, treasures and doubtless a few camels from the Arab dudes. He was a God over there. The Sultan of Brunei I think it was who showered him with gifts.Quote:

And Tyson has lost probably close to £100 million.
They must have to be like that Eddie Murphy or Richard Prior film where he has a month to spend so many millions in order to inherit his rich uncles fortune!
On a side note, I lived in brunei for 5 yrs and met the Sultan of Brunei and shook his hand, very humble guy and very generous. I remember on his 50th birthday he called on to Michael JAckson to perform in front of all the citizens of Brunei and it was free.Quote:
