    Default Who are the Richest Boxers (today) not just overall earnings.

    Top 10 Richest Boxers In 2014 | Rich Income Ways
    Tyson listed at the top (400) mil.
    Forman @ 250 (mil)
    DLH, then MoneyMay-

    Is there a list that states fighters who are (STILL) rich? RJJ is listed here. So I question: If Tyson-as broke as he is- makes the list, then it doesn't mean all of these fighters are (STILL) wealthy.

    This link:
    Roy Jones Jr net worth! – How rich is Roy Jones Jr?
    Estimates RJJ at 45 million. But does he really have millions in the bank? I am one of those who thought that RJJ was still fighting because of bad investments he made-like with a rap label that produced jack.
    Sep 2008- stock market- he took a hit there too (side note -Hopkins didn't)

    Top 10 Richest Boxers of the world 2015| Networth Portal

    I wonder where is Lennox Lewis or either Klitschko is ranked. Mundine in ranked.

    I thought Larry Holmes who is frugile and made wise investments would've topped these lists- but surprisingly as of today he is listed at 18 million. I guess considered that he was under Don King- that shit is amazing to come out in the green!!

    What about Ricky Hatton? Tito Trinidad?
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Foreman would be worth a mention, as would Hamed.

    Those stats are all wrong.

    Tyson is estimated to have earned $400 million over his career in the ring but was forced to declare bankruptcy with $23 million in debt in 2003. He couldn't possibly have made it all back since then.

    Forbes lists Mayweather as having made $300 million last year alone.

    According to the newspaper El Nuevo Dia (in an article published in 2014), Trinidad is broke having squandered his $63 million investing in Peurto Rican government bonds which were recently downgraded to junk bond status. Whoops!

    Rocco is right though, that list is overall earnings and not today, only way it makes sense.

    Floyd and Foreman are the top 1 and 2 almost for sure, from the last I read. Foreman of course has made most of his current money from his grills, so good for him. DLH would be a clear third, and next is probably Pacquiao, then anyone's guess. So few fighters hang on to their money, could well be Roy Jones in 4th.

    Larry Holmes is a rare case who has apparently done well and invested wisely since retiring. Never made nearly what those guys did as a pro but he's still wealthy at least.

    Pretty much this.
    I think Foremans grills have cemented his spot as #1 for the richest.

    That's correct and Foreman didn't even invent the thing. Leonard was the first 100 million dollar fighter and even with his coke binges he was one of the rare prize fighters that new it wouldn't last.

    I believe Floyd has probably made some wise investments outside of his Rolex and car collections.
    He's generated close to 1 billion in ppv with Oscar and Manny being not that far behind. He had personally made close to 1/2 a billion after the second Maidana fight. The incredible thing about him is that he did it with endorsing a thing.

    You have to wonder wtf happened to Tyson? He was generating 40 million a fight for an average 6 to 9 minutes of work. Parasites and clingons with no idea what he was paying out and then of course Don King who probably has more money buried then all of these guys lol.

    And Holyfield, my christ! The guy made 200 million in 3 years and is now broke. I'm sure the 6 kids with 6 different mothers didnt help and houses with 26 bathrooms and once again King but if I had a million dollars in the bank I'd never worry about anything. Ffs I'd live off the interest.

    Hattons worth about 50 mil
    Same with Hagler. He most likely made more money doing Spaghetti westerns in Italy then he ever did in boxing.
    Ali listed at 50 mil is a little crazy. Maybe his personal worth but all of those foundations etc etc etc. He's a great example of ones "net worth" not telling the whole story.
    Vitali was said to be worth 65 mil last year
    Leonard 120
    Lewis 140

    I think Tito had a guy with power of attorney over his fortune fuck him with a lot of bad investments.

    I guess his hands are still registered- so he'd get time for beating him up, badly.

    Gr8 insight on these posts- but no one has really mentioned Roy Jones. Not sure how much Roy is making in his fights nowadays.

    Could James Toney be in a similar predicament? Has a little money saved- but like Roy Jones & Apollo Creed, they don't know when to walk away ?
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
