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

Baaaahahaha what the actual deuce...Wilder hasn’t made 46.5m in his entire career, nevermind in one year And AJ received a 50m payoff from the Saudis...on top of his purse and PPV revenue. Forbes needs to hire some new internet geeks to do their estimates.

Thought AJ made $85M in Saudi. Now it’s $50M. I’m not a Forbes guy but AJ fans been lying about his purse since day one while devaluing wilder. It’s all UK Matchroom propaganda

the crowd at Wembley wast computer graphics, the tickets are extremely cheap. That’s why wilder v Fury II live gate revenue crushed any live gate revenue for all of AJs fight wilts less than a quarter of the people in attendance

Yes, the tickets are sold at 50p each and you can get a family deal for £1. PPV in the UK is like 20p.

AJ has been making $1million per fight not the over £20million that lying prick Hearn claims in the media. I guess that's why he decided to take the most anticipated rematch with Ruiz to Saudi Arabia for $2million.

Since that's the case, a guy making $1million didn't lowball Wilder by offering him $12.5million, then $15million and subsequently $100million for a fight. Did he? I think he was trying to overpay Wilder and buy the belt off him. Sad, man.

Not a bad little sum for the Gypsy King..... if it's accurate.

To think he still lives in a normal house in Morecambe.... apart from a few nice Land Rovers and a Ferrari.... not an extravagant lifestyle. He must have loads in the bank.

He’s getting a huge house built in the Lake District though

Endorsements. Fury $7 million. Wilder $500K - Fury 14 times more endorse-able than Wilder. Seems like yelling Bombsquad! is more off-putting than a history of racist/misogynist comments

A big black guy in America yelling anything nevertheless “BombZquad” can be viewed as a *********ic threat smh 🤦🏽*♂️

Don’t get angry because your boy AJ is a minnow in the game these days

Fury should offer him a £15m flat fee

lol even before this Forbes list anyone with a brain could see that the $12.5/15M offers on a fight worth $100M were lowballs.

DAZN offered wilder $100M but based on the Forbes list wilder deserved a percentage split at minimum 49.5% not another bs flat fee With Hearn and AJ hiding the split to try and rip BombZquad off.

Don’t get mad if fury wins the trilogy and wants to give AJ a flat fee. You reap what you sow

£15m is too steep for a guy making £1m a fight. Fury should just offer him £2.5million to make it more enticing since the Saudis only paid him $2m.

No need to overpay a big stiff robot. Andy "A Side" Ruiz didn't pay him that much. Why should Fury?

How can an offer of $12.5/15M from a guy making $1m a fight lowball offer?

I'm lost here, mate.
