    Default Does anybody know who the richest fighter in boxing is ?

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

    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.

    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.

    Pure earnings has to be Mike Tyson.

    ODLH leaves everyone else in the dust, with his ridiculous purse earnings revenues from The Ring and GBP noone else comes close.

    Naz deserves a mention.

    He was earning millions per-fight whilst the likes of Barrera and Morales were killing eachother for $100,000

    ODH is top

    But Big George Forman has made $240 million which has to put him top 10

    Naz is the richest British fight mainly down to the way he invested his
