    He is big enough name to be HIS OWN MAN, but he let Arum take his money. Being well known and loved like Pac is he should have been on this list with one fight !!

    Amazing how a defensive fighter was able to become the highest paid athlete in the world. Not even the likes of James to ney; Hopkins or pernall whitiker could achieve such a thing. Floyd grossing prime Mike Tyson money. And Tyson was a heavyweight destroyer.

    When Floyd thanks al haymon u better believe he means it.

    162 games

    But they are hardly athletes straining themselves.

    It is just the nature of the business (no salary cap).

    If canelo becomes what they hope he becomes I think he will carry the torch, maybe hit the 100m mark. He brings in all the mexican and white boxing fans, he's a double hitter.

    100M in a calendar year?

    Really bro?

    The Angulo PPV did 350K buys after Alvarez just got the biggest public exposure ever being the B-side of the Mayweather PPV.

    Those numbers surely would have to skyrocket, in addition to Alvarez having to have an amazing HOF-bound resume in order to do such, for your extremely bold prediction to pan out.

    Canelo will never have an opponent big as floyd and pac to face once they gone. Where the hell are these ppv numbers coming from?
