OH that I agree.. I hate Cristiano Ronaldo's fans acting like he's a god but he and Messi are truly a class above the rest currently.

I think the poster is misinformed. It’s not that he is broke it’s that he isn’t a big draw. Plus he has acts like a ******. AJ has a chill personality. I was surprised to see him on the list. I think it’s funny how they stated he unseated Mayweather. Technically yes but if Floyd fought once he would easily be on top

If he's not, then who the hell is? Are there 9 other guys in the sport drawing his crowds or earning his purses? The idea that a guy who made $30M on 2 fights isn't a draw is a bit nonsensical.

messi's greatest achievement lol

Winning 4 champions leagues isn't a great achievement? **** off.

He is being paid not by the seats his fights fill. Look st GGG. He is getting paid $20 mil to fight bums regardless of the turnout

[kushking]

... sure... while GGG was like: $25.5 M vs Canelo + $0 vs Rolls, right?...

I don't see what ggg has to do with it,but I was just going off whats been reported & by simple common sense considering forbes has him down as making 30 mil & thats the amount that the media reported he made for both fights.....

Fake Forbes nonsense. This is like the Kylie Jenner $1 billion fake news.

Exactly. Forbes isn't reliable. Snoop and several other people on the list have said so in the past.

[j.razor]

Nonsense. Rumor has it Floyd was seen last weekend in a 1993 Cadillac stalled at an intersection in Las Vegas farting in the gas tank with a million dollar watch on his wrist.

Keep imagining that.

So you think that he would get guarantees that high without being able to draw large enough crowds to cover his purse? That's a losing deal for everyone who manages him, so I personally can't see that happening, unless I have to also believe that Finkel/Haymon both don't know how money works. Wilder's PPV debut sold $24M in PPV alone, and his dance partner was a UK guy who had been retired for over 2 years. He's not drawing like Joshua, but he's a bona fide star in the sport. You have to REALLY dislike him if you're unable to admit that. Seriously, $30.5M in 2 fights = star lol
