so Oscar has made more money than Tyson now...

[FLYBOY]

LAS VEGAS – Before he’d ever considered fighting Manny Pacquiao in what now is being billed as “The Dream Match,” Oscar De La Hoya had already accounted for more than a half-billion dollars of revenue from his previous 18 pay-per-view matches.

mike tyson made about $400 million... oscar has made more than $500 million and we can add another $100-150 million for his upcoming fights.

hmmm so that means oscar will be a billionaire in about 10 years. niccccccce

You forgot taxes, apart from that he makes money from advertisement, music, promotion etc

tyson made that mistake of going to prison which shortened his chips. also declining from his prime.

Oscar has made more money out of the ring than in the ring. Oscar is very close if not already a billionair right now.

Bob Arum has something to do with it too.

Yeah sure, $500 million is a lot of money.

But this kind of money means nothing when you see Wall Street hedge fund guys earn between $700 million to over a billion in A SINGLE YEAR (during bull markets of course).

Nevertheless, Oscar is a businessman I don't think he will run out of money like Iron Mike.
