    How RICH are the fighters?

    Does anyone know how much some of the fighters are worth?

    DLH? I'm guessing around 250 million.

    Mayweather? 200 Million

    Roy Jones??

    Pacman? Other fighters?

    BHOP? I'm guessing around 90 Million.

    Does anyone have anything interesting about there incomes.

    Like how much of the purse they keep? Endorsements?

    Please no false or silly drivel remarks just serious anwers.

      Last time I heard, Oscar had 100million, that was last year though. Mayweather? I say about 60million.

        I think Cotto is making a good amount off endorsements, hes gotta have made at least 50 million by now, i mean they had to open up all the extra seats in MSG because he packed it so much during his fight with Mosley.

          Oscar is by far the richest man in Boxing.

            I would say ODLH is about 500million with many fights in the 20 million range and he also makes money as a promoter.

            I would say PBF is below 100million. He only has 2 fights in the 20+ million range. Before that his biggest payday was 8 million and that was Baldomir. He only got about 4-6million for the Judah fight IIRC.

            Not to mention purses get cut up by trainers, taxes, promoters. I think someone posted before that a boxer gets only about 40% of the publicized purse.

            I know that Corrales wasn't doing well financially and there was an article in which it talked about Corrales's financial situation with interviews of Mosley and wife in it. Diego's family had to borrow money from the Mosley's.

            Its very sad, I hope Diego's family is taken care of.

              Floyd Mayweather is worth $100 million.


              I think it said on the 24/7 series

                Seems like the figures earlier in this thread are inflated.
                Forbes says DLH made $22 million last year. Mayweather didn't even make their list of highest paid athletes. He probably will this year.

                I don't know however how much GBP makes and how it gets split out as far as PPV revenues are concerned. It seems like the total pie goes to a lot of different people.


                Sports Illustrated has Tiger Woods at 97 million a year with endorsements. Holy ****.

                  Are we just talking about fight purses? Fight purses and PPV cuts? Oscar at least has a team of financial advisors handling and investing his money. GBP, etc; the guy's loaded.

                    No doubt DLH is loaded. Doubt $500 million though.
