Comments Thread For: Fury is Top Paid Combat Sports Star on Forbes 2020 'Highest Paid Athletes' List

[Cool Scant]

Swear by forbes? I've never cited that fraudulent American publication in a comment ever. It's not a credible source of information.

So you mean AJ went to Saudi Arabia to fight for less than $5million while Ruiz made $13million and Sky also pocketed the record breaking UK PPV and DAZN didn't pay him a penny.

Because going by the $47million - that's the first Ruiz fight and endorsements. They claimed he made $13million from Endorsement and the DAZN purse for that fight was $32million. And that means he made $2million in Saudi Arabia. LMAOOOOO

truth be told I’m not a Forbes guy. But when AJ fans said he was making £20M a fight I didn’t believe it and I Damn sure didn’t believe he made $85M in Saudi. I don’t believe anything regarding AJs purses until it’s verified by an Athletic Commission.

But I have a feeling that Hearn AJ and his fans lie about his earnings so they can lowball everyone else. And then claim AJs being ducked when a guy like wilder doesn’t take a bs flat fee. Meanwhile based on these numbers the split should’ve been 50/50

Fury is charismatic, funny and unpredictable as are his fights

Canelo is boring and has everything in his favor in every fight. And his big fights end with controversial decisions

Not surprising that people prefer the gypsy king

Bunch of broke dudes arguing about other dudes pockets and mad that Canelo isnt on the list as if you see a dime of his paycheck. Lmaooooo

The crowd at Wembley watching him were computer graphics and his UK PPV numbers were also made up.

The guy made $2million for the Ruiz rematch while Ruiz made $13million.

This is forbes its credible but not 100% accurate theyve had kylie jenner a billionaire turns out she made 340m after taxes from the make up aquisation and her company sales are really 25m a yr . forbes had donald trump in the 80s as billionaire whenit turned out most the wealth was using at the time was there dads or was fabricated. Im starting to feel like every now and then u can pay to be listed on forbes like u can buy yourself upon thr billboard 100 these ppl do realize mcgregor had 1 fight for that amount lol if that. Mmmm id like to see what forbes says on next yrs list . also i feel some of the money fighters make at the elite level e****ally mma is not reported or in cash and i feel aj and terrance crawford has one of those type of deals especially anyone ppl signed to al hayman i feel like when we see 500k its really 750k -1m and so on After under the table and so on stuff
