I got them from here. purse listings - The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board

And here's something else I found about Tyson. Before Tyson was about to fight McNeely in his comeback fight, he got a signing bonus of $25 million just for signing deals with MGM and Showtime and as I've listed another $25 million to fight McNeely. So in actuality it can be said Tyson got $50 million just for fighting McNeely. That's pretty insane money.BOXING - BOXING - Tyson Appears to Take Control As He Takes Over Center Stage - NYTimes.com

And who can forget Oscar for making $53 million fighting Floyd. He got a 25 mil guarantee and then another 28 mil in PPVs. SI.com - The Fortunate 50

That list has been knocking around different forums for a few years, that's why there's no recent fights.

Hopkins got $3m against Winky ($2m) and Pavlik ($3m). Funny that Hopkins got more money fighting Eastman (obviously because he was taking a far bigger cut of the dough) and yet people wonder why certain fights don't get made

JCC got the same money fighting Tszyu, when he was old and past it. Amazing.
