gerry cooney made $20 million for fighting lary holmes
Jerry Cooney made less than $2 million for fighting Larry Holmes.
I don't know who Jerry Cooney is but watch legendary nights Holmes-Cooney. Merchant said Cooney made one of the biggest payday ever over $20 million dollars and it was the highest grossing fight ever at that time. of course now the highest grossing fight is lewis-tyson
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
