    Boxing's Top Pay Per View Attractions
    1. Oscar De La Hoya - $610.6 million on 12.6 million buys (18 events)
    2. Mike Tyson - $545 million on 12.4 million buys (12 events)
    3. Evander Holyfield - $543 million on 12.6 million buys (14 events)

    Pretty sad two of the top 3 highest grossing PPV attractions couldn't manage to keep most of the money they made out of it. Unfreakinbelieveable. IRS leaches and divorce settlements aside, how do you blow 100's of millions of dollars?

        Guy talks about jesus 24/7 yet has like 14 kids by 9 different women, earned over 200 mill and is broke, **** holyfield, i only wish that Valuev didn't pity him and respect him and hadn't said he's going to try to take a easy on him

        what holy deserves is a prime golota throwing combo's at his balls while Tyson rips his face off with his teeth

          Poor bloke. Wish him luck though. He looks like he doesn't want to be there in the interviews.

              Considering its a fight that is drawing little interest and he is just another contender now its pretty good at this point. Yeah he made purses 40x's bigger than this in his days at the top, but those days are gone.

              I betcha 750k is well north of what any other Valuev opponent has made to fight him.

                woooooooowww, that ****s ridiculous

                then on the other hand you have someone that not only prolly has every penny but has grossed even more than that through promotional companies, radio stations, investments, etc. etc.

                    How can you ****in throw way $___ million dollars?

                    I hope Evander comes through this unscathed, and he's one of my all time greats, but its' ****ing annoying how one man can blow so much cash.

                      I dont feel sorry for a guy who fathers 11 children from 9 women. He made those choices.
