You couldn't be more wrong.

Euros actually get paid pretty decently over there.
Probably one of the reasons they don't travel much.

I'd be kind of curious to see what the breakdown between what he gets paid for a USA fight vs a fight of the same magnitude in Germany.

He made 8M � for the Thompson-fight. The Klitschkos are by far the most famous boxer in Germany. Boxing is pretty big here, and Wladimir is a crossover-star. He is by far better known in Germany than Floyd in the US.

Wlad also donates a lot of his money to charities

Do you live in Germany? How big is boxing compared to other sports?
