Does anybody know who the richest fighter in boxing is ?

[Hughesd]

I have heard Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins are one of the richest. Is that true ?

[rjj tszyu]

Oscar De La Hoya is the richest. Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins have made OK money throughout their careers but nothing huge like Oscar. Hopkins' biggest payday was actually against De La Hoya.

Hopkins and Roy are paupers compared with Oscar

I believe both their highest single purse is $10million - Hopkins for the Oscar fight, Roy for Ruiz.

Oscar made $50million for Mayweater.

Hatton earned a reported £15m ($30million) for the Mayweather fight.

Oscar is one of the richest athletes in the world, let alone boxing. Hopkins made some good money and held onto every penny. Roy Jones However, supposedly lost a lot of money on his rap albums which he self financed. Many people feel that that is why he continues to fight.

[Plopeater]

De La Hoya by far

[Markusdarkus]

Oscar easily.

Hopkins and Jones have a lot because they have had long careers. Id say Hatton is very wealthy considering he is under 30 and has crazy drawing power. Should Hatton fight for a few more years and throw in the Pac vs Oscar winner he would become mega rich.

If he hadn't been daft with it and didn't lose it to Don King and stuff it would have to be Tyson he earned a reported £500m but ended up about £36m in debt oh well.Other than him it would have to be Oscar
