That's a grand total of $107 million for being a loser. I can't think of too many current fighters who've amassed half that amount in their entire careers.
In all fairness to Oscar, i think a lot of other guys would get paid more if they took on the calibre of opponent that Oscar has. Nobody in boxing has a list of good opponents like DLH.
All those names u mention are hall of fame guarantees. Add names like Chavez, Whitaker, Vargas to name a few and u got a good resume.
Obviously the fact he is good looking and speaks well helps too. Also his fights are close and exciting.
IMO guys like Floyd, and Hatton could make similiar money if they took on all the best guys......
