No. That would be like saying 50 cent is a better rapper than Rakim because he sold more records.

Does making more money make you the better fighter in Boxing?

Right now, The consensus best fighter in the world is by far the sports highest paid and has been so since he defeated ODH. ALi and SRL were considered the best and they were the highest grossing as well. So to answer the TS question sometimes it does.
Now with Tyson and ODH you can argue otherwise. Niether was better than RJJ or Toney IMO but both outsold them considerably.
There are other fighters with large fanbases, Manny, Hamed, Canelo, Trinidad- who sell a ton but aren't the best in the sport. There are great fighters who -Ward, Hagler, Ricardo Lopez-that may be the best in the world but don't sell alot.

The answer is obviously no but at the end of the day its a job and if you're making the most money good for you. Even though Floyd picks fighters where he will take less risk but can you really blame him hes still making bank on it at the end of the day. Now i cant agree with many of his claims as far as him being better than certain past fighters and such but I'm still a fan of his talents
