So for Oscar to have such a huge audience and purses is truly astonishing, he is by far the biggest grosser in terms or stardom and purses beneath the heavyweight division.













Actually between Purses and endorsements....Oscar De La Hoya has made more money off of the sport of boxing then any other fighter in the history of the business....And that is not including what he is making off GBP
