How does a guy with Brittle hands make 800 million in a Combat sport?

[The Big Dunn]

You people exaggerate things so much.
Where do you get this $800 million from?
No wonder IRS is after him.
Go ahead exaggerate more.
The IRS is watching.

We'll eventually see if those are real.
Three years is all it takes. He'll be fighting again, mark my word.

Dude, no offense, but why does this level of success bother you?

You should be bothered by the exaggeration.
They say he's expected to earn $300 mil from his last fight.
How tf do they know? Does that mean SHO won't be making
any profit or get their investment back?

Dude, they are not exaggerating. These sites have detailed Floyd's deal and how he gets a take from every revenue stream. I'm not saying it's exact to the penny.

Of course SHO is making their money but Floyd is also the promoter. He puts the money up front so he gets the promoter and fighters cut.

Seriously why aren't you happy that a boxer was able to do this after over one hundred years of promoters, networks and others getting the bulk of the money? It's about time a fighter got over instead of always being on the short end of the stick. right?

Hopefully going forward more fighters can do the same.
