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

[rocktop]

How Fury and Wilder got mayweather money and havent even cracked 1 mil ppv buys is beyond me. Fox really got robbed in that ppv which more power to the fighters but damn.

[skinnystev]

not only is The Gypsy King the top earner in the sport but also P4P #1 nobody can beat him

This is somewhat flawed, Because of Covid Canelo's fight was cancelled, but if he fights twice later this year he will make upwards of 70+ million for the year, if he would of fought 3 times it would of been 100+ making him not only the highest paid in combat sports but the highest paid athlete as well.

AJ made more money than Fury, Wilder and Canelo combined in Saudi Arabia alone.

Fraudulent news. LMAOO

The list is fraudulent. Both Fury and Wilder didn't make that much. And both Canelo and AJ made far more than what's on that fugazi list.

If we had a Loma, he made it look easy catagory, Andy would be top of the list. He got short notice for #1, very little time to train for it, and he didn't train at all for #2. 20 mil like Loma and the B class. Easy.

Canelo makes 35 mil a fight but he hasnt fought in 2020 so the most he can make is 35 mil this year. AJ hasnt even fought this year so i dont even know how he is on the list. Fox had to have lost money if the pay is correct and idk why they would pay for Wilder v Fury 3

Fury should endorse The New Floppy Glove Pot Holder (pat pending)! It would generate millions more in endorsements! Pink, Blue, Green and even Turquoise colors would make Fury's fan-girl base BLUSH ! Talk about turning into a "HOT" holdin' household commodity ! Pulling out TASTY boar meat from the oven will NEVER be the same ! C'mon Fury lets FLOP OUT and bring in a PALM safe generation of FLOPPERS !!

So many people hating that Top Rank pays more than PBC

[Kannabis Kid]

They all pulled good numbers can't hate on any of them crazy Wilder made only half a mil less than AJ and with barely any endorsements the trilogy with Fury is going to make some good cash for the both of them. Joshua still making bank so even with the loss he is still a cash cow these guys are really pulling in numbers and seem to be good with their cash so should set their families for life that's what boxing is all for isn't it.

I'm pretty sure Forbes goes off of what fighters earned in the past 12 months when putting out these lists and they also include their side ventures Fury made an appearance on WWE where he earned some millions don't know the exact number but some extra cash for sure and he also had a best selling book I'm sure that is included as well just like Conor and his Proper 12 nasty ass whiskey on a side note who the fook paid him 30 million for fighting Donald Cerrone lmao.

Strange that Canelo was not on that list seems to be skewed because he for sure made some bank in the past 12 months.

you brits swear by Forbes but now that wilder makes just as much money as AJ Forbes is fraudulent lmao. AJ didn’t make $85M in Saudi. AJ fans been lying about his purses for years. That’s the worst kept secret in boxing.

Based on the earning it’s easy to see that Hearn and AJ were trying to rip wilder off with bs flat fees and never wanted the fight. According to this the split offered SHOULDVE been 51/49 minimum.
