    I am impressed that no one has spoken of jake paul??
    I guess he is not considered a boxer.

      Malignaggi made more than what his boxing skills were worth. He wasn't a bad fighter but he earned well above his skills and ability. I know Gatti will enter the conversation for the same reasons but he gave it his absolute all in the ring and got fans up out of their seats. P4P one of the most entertaining fighters.

      Buster Douglas earned well above his means as a fighter.

      I'll toss Conor McGregor in there. Although he built a name for himself as a UFC fighter, he was 0-0 as a boxer when he fought Floyd and earned over $100 million for that contest.
      - - With 111 punches landed = approx $9mil per landed punch. Purt fair job if you can get it...!!!

        For a sport where fighters usually get screwed over financially by managers and so called teams, and fans being vocal about it, why shame guys who made a good amount of money regardless of their skill level. The only good mention IMO would be Jake Paul because it's obvious what he's doing and shameful.

          - - Exposing the Fury family and shaming l’l floydy crack daddy family through Logan shows how true fans can be had, but boxing would have to undergo a major scrubbing of misanthropes first.

          Ain’t gonna happen, so enjoy a fringe sport fans have helped create!!!

            I hardly enjoy the sport anymore that's why I ventured off into other combat sports years ago where the sports corruption isn't nearly as bad or nonexistent in comparison.

              What I am looking for is the hugest disparity between how good they were and how much money they made. I can think of no better selection than Anthony Joshua.

                  - - Well now Mr Mutts, AJ set the world on fire and knocked out Al Haymon's stable while unifying the heavies. Defended well and often and beats most heavy champs in history who would more aptly belong in the super middle division.

                  The People paid him what something like $300Mil for good reason

                  Brits went so crazy filling up Wembley that his compatriot, his ignoble drug suspended Blubber fled to America for the weakest link in the division, Deyonce who made teensie millions fighting short notice journeymen types until Blubber exposed him.

                  Now poor Blubber's been exposed, yet gets another payday when he should've crawled away in shame for some cave in Siberia with Deyonce. They a couple ya know...

                    More rubbish from boxingscenes garbage man. Firstly, Joshua did not fight more heavyweight champions than any other fighter. Second, he ducked a $35 mil payday to fight Wilder when at the time his highest earning was $20 mil. I posted the link to this when you tried saying everyone avoided AJ. You then tried to push the goal post back claiming "AJ calls the shots" only to be laughed at yet again for making things up.

                      From Sports Illustrated

                      "In 2019, Joshua’s camp offered Wilder $100 million for a two-fight deal. A couple of years later, Wilder’s camp emailed Joshua a $50 million offer. The latest deal, backed by the Saudis, would have seen Wilder and Joshua fight twice in 2024."
