Let's say boxers were paid by entertainment value who'd be the highest paid fighters?

Mike tyson

Pryor, Saad, Gatti, Tyson, Holyfield, Morales, Chacon, Brewster, Katsidis, Rios, Pacquiao, M. Ward, Vargas, Kelley, Fletcher....would all have among the highest paid fighters.

Tavoris Cloud, Gennady Golovkin, Marcos Maidana

money may of course

entertainment inside the ring alone? that would be the 458 Italia driving boxer...

I love how Pacquiao has barely been mentioned :rofl: Hands down one of the most entertaining fighters i've ever seen. Entertaining fights against top opposition. Morales x3, Marquez x2, Cotto, Hatton spring to mind

1. Erik Morales.../thread

All Time 1.Naseem Hamed 2.Micky Ward 3.Arturo Gatti 4.Tommy Morrison 5.Ricardo Mayorga

Well no one would be able to top Gatti, Ward would have been close. Angulo & kirkland bringing up the rear. Even the Punisher would be up there. Gamboa, Edison Miranda, damn that's a huge list, just threw the 1st names that came to my mind, based on exciting. Chiquita Gonzales.

If you're talking about entertainment value of their fights, I would have to say right now, JMM would be one of the highest paid fighters. The only fight of his recently that wasn't entertaining was Mayweather, or maybe the Diaz rematch.

If Mayorga spoke english he would be the highest paid athlete in history.
