    Could the Klitschko Bros. be the most financially successful boxer's ever?

    Just read the article "Team Klitschko's optimistic of better challenges out there".......... Emanual Stewart talks about how "corporate" Klitschko calls him 7 different times for 7 different cities. They always sell out 50k stadiums, their fight night production is always entertaining, and i'm assuming they do strong ppv numbers, and they are a mainstream in Europe........

    .....so could the Klitschko Bros. be the most financially successful boxer's ever?

    Maybe, but they don't do PPV. Which I assume cuts the amount they earn significantly, but it increases there exposure across Europe.

      Anyone know what's an average gate for the Klitschkos? Not tickets sold, but money generated.

        considering the euro is much stronger than the dollar i wouldn't be surprised if klitschkos are the richest boxers in history

                HAHA most "financially successful"? They can't even get on HBO, they have no PPVs. They wouldn't be allowed on a Floyd or Pacquiao undercard.

                Nobody even bothers to shut down streams of their fights cuz what's the point?

                  K Bros are great at money because they don't waste it on drugs and shiny metal like Mike Tyson that is true.

                  BUT all the money in the world wont have saved Vitali from becoming blind deaf and brain damaged if that fight with the Lion Lennox had gone 12 rounds. The K bros owe Lennox a **** load more then their fans care to admit.

                  I seen a recent video showing nigel benn crying his heart out hugging a paralyzed and blind Gerald Mc Cellean whispering how he's sorry and just having a emotional breakdown right there. I was thinking 'damn that coulda been Lennox Lewis with Vitali lol . If the ref didn't stop that fight, Vitali woulda been the next Gerald Mc Cellen and lennox probably woulda shaved his dreads and gone super Biblical.
