Comments Thread For: 6 Boxers Featured On Sportico's '100 Highest-Paid Athletes In The World' List

For all the nay saying there is more money in boxing than there has ever been. There are more eyes on the sport than there has been in decades.

If the shot callers of the sport & boxers aren't making the most of this time rn they are leaving money & opportunities on the table.

And if boxing don't fook it up, like it usually does, we may not even be close to the high water mark yet.

More like Haymon and Tank made him that money…

Tank was doing 200k pre-Ryan. Tank & Ryan both deserve the money they got for fighting each other.

Tank just been selling ppvs by himself up til Ryan. Ryan has had ppv level popularity but no opp to cash in on it for yrs. When you add a draw + a draw + a fight fans wanna see you get numbers like they got.

You mean Oscar and Ryan made Tank all that money.

tank did less than 100k buys vs Hector Garcia and never got even 300k ppv buys until Ryan Garcia and Oscar blessed him.

Jake Paul at No. 37 with $47 million, Gervonta Davis at No. 54 with $42.5 million, Ryan Garcia at No. 58 with $40.5 million and Tyson Fury at No. 64 with $40 million.

Damn not bad for a former disney boy turned youtuber turned halftime 'pro boxer', not bad at all I must say I'll give him that.

Hows Ryan making that much?!

Bullsh.it. Stank and Hymen did nothing. Where do you think his PPV cut came from? Not from the PBC ppv. DAZN sold the ppv too, Garcia’s base purse was something like $2.5 million plus the ppv cut. You know damn well PBC wasn’t going to give Garcia a cut of their half.

this puts to rest all doubt who sold the PPV in that fight, being that DAZN was selling the fight for $60 to paid subscribers and Garcia walked away with $30 million from that fight to Stank’s $40 million with PBC’s $80 price tag.

All that money they’re being paid and not 1 of them are making truly meaningful fights. Paul and Garcia are social media boxers, Fury is a circus show, Joshua is a head case who went back to C level opponents after being washed by a cruiser, and Canelo has been the biggest thief of them all with his ducking and opponent selection for his last several fights. That’s why all of these networks are bailing or failing. They’re overpaying these guys for trash and outside of the tank vs Ryan fight, the rest have had weak ppv numbers for yrs.
