UK Sunday Times Sports Richlist 2016 - Amir Khan 10th

[Boxtime]

Then people go on about that Khan was looking for a payday with Mayweather. The guy has more money than any other boxer out there, more money than every British football player after Rooney & Gareth Bale.

Khan in 10th position with £18 Million = $26 Million dollars (after tax)

Good for khan.
how much has thst coward Kell made?

[FrankieBruno]

hardwork and dedication

Win or lose RISKS pay off

Brook should take a page out of Khans book, instead of wasting his prime fighting bums for crumbs

This is a dangerous sport make as much as you can, if not for yourself, do it for your family.

[Unseen]

Doesn't sound right to me.

Surely others have made more than that in total.

Good for khan.

His biggest purse was 350k for Porter

After Tax, management fee's and trainer fee's etc...probably not left with much

Should have signed with Haymon

[AliBombaye]

I think Khan has quite some more than that, articles like that most of the time miss out on some assets, investments and other revenue streams.

Khan making money doing other stuff? Endorsements? I don't remember him getting too many huge paydays. Think he got about a mill for Peterson. About a mill for Garcia. Those were two of his bigger fights. He getting huge money for UK rights to his fights, UK PPV money or did he make crazy bank in the UK previous to coming across the pond? I'd be surprised to learn Khan has had $26M in boxing purses (pre-Canelo anyway) let alone he gots $26M in the bank.

Khan made his first million when he turned pro, before he even fought his first fight

He has had major sponsors such as Reebok, Adidas, Maximusle etc... He opened up his gym here. He also opened gyms abroad, he is part owner of Fight Label, who design those boxing shorts, he is part owner of a MMA league, as well as a shopping center, wedding halls and real estate and god knows what else.

He also had the TV rights to a number of his fights including the Lemont Peterson fight and the Garcia fight

The guy is balling, he made good investments

This is not the first time he has been on the sports rich list here.

Oh yea I remember hearing about the MMA league he's part owner of.

Nice & respect to Khan for having his **** straight. Far too few boxers get a hang of that.

Sadly you are right, many boxers don't get the business side and end up signing ****tyy contracts.

There are a handful of boxers who get it, Floyd is the blueprint to maximizing one's profits, i think he inspired the likes of Khan, actually i am sure of it.

This is why i believe Kell Brook should go it alone, start his own promotional outlet, and do what Khan, Haye, Eubank Jr etc... are doing. The same thing Naz and Hatton did.

Sticking with a guy like Hearn - who is the British Bob Arum, will maybe land you one payday, but you'll have to wait 10 years for it.

Brook should get himself a real manger like Haymon, and do his own promotional thing.
