Can someone explain to me how Wladimir Klitschko is worth over $100 million?

I don't know anything about him having THAT much but the guy is smart and he has been a top 25 highest paid athlete in the world a few times on the forbes list, and on top of his promotional company now having Golovkin and Usyk, he's only going to get richer. Plus the heavyweight division is only dead for people whose countries can't house the best heavies. It's a very popular division in Germany that sells big time. His fight with Leapai got 9 million viewers on free TV. That's one of his worst actual opponents but his name carries those viewers. But in America showing on ESPN2 in the middle of the afternoon, they were doing articles about it bombing on American television with something like half a mill and acting like that was the end of the story. So a lot of people aren't getting the full picture on how successful this guy is. All they tend to do here is downplay everything. I don't remember even HBO when paying for the Povetkin fight showing a fraction of the crazy attention this got in Europe or how it was breaking records for journalists attracted to it and all the TV channels in all the countries it would be featured on. They just basically said "And here's another guy Klitschko gonna fight. He might be okay tonight." lol Truth is he's just a lot more popular than American media cares to focus on.

Go watch all his fight , the crowd is 100x what you going to see in MSG

He gets 3 million per fight from German Tv no matter who he fights. He sells out stadiums for huge gate. He and Vitali own K2 promotions, which is probably worth 8 figures at this point. He co owns Klitschko Management Group. He has several lucrative high end endorsement deals.

If his fights make money then he is worth what they pay him. Why does Mayeather make the big bucks when he almost never hurts anyone anymore?

His opponents get 0.1% of the purse. They get 15-50 percent typically. Pov got 25% and haye got 50%. His networth on forbes is only 28m but that's very wrong, considering he got 17m for the Pov fight. Not to mention what ever he sees from K2 promotions.

How much does this man get paid? I heard that he is worth over 100 million dollars how is that possible? I thought you have to fight on PPV to get that type of money. K2 promotions bud

he gets paid per clinch

His opponents get 0.1% of the purse.

German audiences and gate are high
