Comments Thread For: Canelo, Ward Edge Golovkin in Forbes Moneymakers Top Ten

[Nomadic]

Pad didnt make 20 million dollars, 27% Arum, 20% Kuntz, 10% Roach...not including taxes deducted. LOL Floyd is still #1 with what he made in the previous year. lol

Damn, Pac made some beer money then...lol

[Pigeons]

You fools still think Pacquiao made $20M for Bradley? Do you know how much money Bob would lose if he paid him that much for a PPV that might not have broken 300K?

Pacquiao got his $7M and not a penny more.

Canella is definitely the A side boxings top earner. Ward only got 2 because of the one fight he wouldn't be a big draw. GGG this proves he is boxings second biggest draw especially against good opponents who won't fight him. So canella GGG will be boxings biggest ppv gross canella out of excuses. Joshua huge in U.K. If he crosses over and gets big here he will be up there with canella

EDIT: I think this started after the Bradley fight, unless what Arum said in the other interview posted above was a lie.

Good job "Doc!" I wonder what guarantee Manny will get for Horn?

Lil G would be no. 1 if he fought somebody!!!

GGG could be up there if he didn't duck both Ward and Canelo. Turned down the same offer that Kovalev got then refused to drop weight to make the Canelo fight in 2016, even though in 2015 his manager said they had no problem with a catchweight and he said many time he would go to 154 for a big fight. And is now turning down 15mil guarantee offer at 160. GGG has no one to blame but his amateur promoters and management team that got him turning down money and big fights.

Forbes Magazine released their latest list for the "Top Ten Pound-For-Pound Moneymakers in Boxing." There were several movements, removals and additions since the last list that was released by the magazine. Still standing in the top spot is Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Last year, Canelo was the only boxer who even crossed the half million mark on pay-per-view - with his May knockout of Amir Khan. But his September pay-per-view with Liam Smith barely reached 300,000 - which was remarkably considering Smith was unknown and never featured on American or Mexican television.

Golovkin probably does catch a little too much flak, and they are about to undertake a good fight with Jacobs..... but hard to argue with that

things could be so different for Golovkin, and if he is anything close to being as good as they say..... then why aren't things different?

they certainly cannot blame anyone else for their decisions

I don't really find that hard to believe when you have Roc Nation throwing away and losing money on Ward fights by paying him $5M.

But the shocker to me is Anthony Joshua. I thought he was making like $10M per fight.

Why is this peasant minded scab crying over other people's money?????

From who?

Certainly not the media.

Only a few posters don't like him.

Ward the A side
