Floyd made 105 MILL! WTF

[king4oranges]

This is crazy amount of money, cristiano ronaldo lebron james and all these other athletes are on ESPN 24/7 and they come nowhere close to him. I like Pacquiao but there is no way he should be asking for a 50/50 split. He almost doubled Pacquio's earning of 41.5 million. Boxing is not dead after all.

Once Mayweather leaves the sport in a year, you're never going to see these kind of numbers in the sport for a long time unless the second coming of Tyson hits the scene.

and supposedly all that money is with zero sponsorship. if he had huge sponsorship he'd probably made 500 mil or somethign

I disagree, if Deontay Wilder or Bryant Jennings have a dominant run as the lineal Heavyweight Champion of the World, boxing will be booming. Especially if Willder vs. Jennings happens for say the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship in a trilogy, I could see ESPN, FOX Sports 1, the entire world build up that kind of trilogy to break record PPV numbers.

Exactly! Floyd's the BOSS.

No way. Wilder has a little spark but the guy is nowhere near as talented and marketable as Tyson. He's also nearly 29 years old and I bet it's only a matter of time before he gets exposed. The guy is not an elite heavyweight despite his highlight reel knockouts. Also, Jennings is not a marketable guy either. He has all the skills in the world but lacks that big power. No way is a trilogy between them happens. Neither are anywhere near Tyson's prime level when he was in his early 20s. Wilder and Jennings will never be PPV stars either.

Apart from Canelo, I can't see any fighter reaching these numbers.

I don't think Canelo will get anywhere near that number. He may perhaps do better than Pacquiao but no one is touching Mayweather's numbers anytime soon.

105 is more than double 41.5

"Only Canelo making those numbers happen. Canelo' s the draw."
