It isn't a disprovable statement though, the 60's and 70's were a whole different time. The worth of the dollar has went up, the boxing business as a whole has grown bigger, etc. Ali today would make a ****load more money than he did then just because the money is much better today. Same as in pretty much any other business, genius. You also have to remember PPV didn't exist back then, which would have brought in an extraordinary amount of money.

lol Oh, and George Foreman didn't make it to the top? Mike Tyson didn't? Holyfield? Lewis? Sugar Ray Leonard? Etc., etc.

The worth of the dollar has gone down dumb ass. That's why things that cost a dollar cost 3-5 now.

Boxing isn't nearly as big as it was the time, now its a niche sport.

He would have more dollars, but you're talking about a whole different time as in he might not even be as big as he was then because he stood for something that was relevant to the time, his NOI stance wouldn't be as relevant.

Again its not provable that he would or would not have Floyd money, which is what we were arguing in case you forgot.
