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

[TR vs. GB]

some net worth website has oscar at:

oscar 170 million
pacquiao 70 million
mayweather 90 million

those are way low. floyd made $50 million in 2007 and Oscar generated just through PPV alone about $620 million during his career not to mention all other types of revenue.


His ring earnings this year will approach $50 million if his HBO pay-per-view fight Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas against Britain's unbeaten Ricky Hatton generates the 1 million-plus $54.95 buys that promoters anticipate.

"If it goes through the roof as it could, the sky's the limit," says Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's best friend, manager and CEO of Mayweather Promotions, the company the fighter started after leaving his longtime promoter, Top Rank's Bob Arum, in 2006.

Since taking the reins of his career, the brash-talking five-division, six-time world champion from Grand Rapids, Mich., has raised his profile to become the face of boxing.

Mayweather's coronation victory was May 5 against Oscar De La Hoya in the richest fight in history, an event that produced $165 million in revenue, 2.4 million pay-per-view buys and a $19 million live gate (from a crowd of 16,700). All are records.

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.

Either you didn;t see the fight, or don't know anything about boxing. No other explanation .

Lol, I'm just telling it like it is.

Lennox Lewis was ****ing old faded and 257 pounds man.. HE WAS ****ING 257 POUNDS. He looked mostly fit because of the supreme athlete that he is but he was grossly out of shape and lazy. 257 pounds is unreal fat for 6'5.

Now to the actual fight where prime vitali fought 257 pound walrus Lewis. Go rewatch the fight and take a close ****ing look at that eye. Make sure you take a real good look, the gash was right above the eye and close to all the major arteries and veins. If they didn't stop the fight Lennox woulda jab eye to death, they were lucky the fight was stopped or vitali would have gone blind. Or knocked the **** out. Either way it does not bode well for vitali's future if he suffered any more punishment.

ALSO-- THAT ROUND ONE. COULD HAVE gone either way. So technically fat hippo lewis that night was only down 3-2 with 6 rounds left.
