    What Are the biggest contracts in boxing history?

    You got

    1. Floyd Mayweather 6 fights for 240 million.
    2. Miguel Cotto 3 fights for 50 million.

    Have there ever been other contracts like that?

    All these were huge when signed..... Inflation and such distorts numbers but major deals done


    roy jones signed a lucrative contract out of the olympics for NBC.. Nbc eventually terminated it since roy wouldn't take any risky fights...

    Roy jones signed a huge HBO deal around the time of the toney fight, but HBO has been on record as saying that it was a horrible decision on their part as they thought roy would take big fights, but he was content to milk it for the huge guarantee on regular hbo instead of taking ppv caliber fights...
