Anthony Joshua overtakes Canelo Alvarez as the richest boxer

And I expect that difference will grow in the future.

 

That’s mental. Shows how important good looks and a solid physique are from a marketing standpoint. If Joshua was the same boxer but had Dillian Whyte’s looks he wouldn’t even be on that list.

 

I wonder if Uncle Bob is bending Lomachenko over and screwing him as bad as he was screwing Pacquiao as far as pay.

 

Doubt this is accurate though. Where are the WBSS finalists?

 

Yeah, I question the accuracy. I mean wouldn't Floyd still be on there?

 

How much money do you think those two no name fighters have actually made?

 

4 (2 for Cruiser and 2 for Super Middle)
And quite a lot actually...

 

This is interesting. And kind of strange to see Loma at the 4th place...
It's a pity they don't explain the numbers: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshka...-pound-for-pound-moneymakers-canelo-alvarez-f
By the way, it's rather a blog, not an official Forbes article — in this case the opinion of Josh Katzowitz (I have no idea who he is).

 

Loma aint pulling in no PPV money. There is nothing to screw over.

 

Yeah it’s probably bollocks, Bellew probably made more money from the Haye fight than Loma will all year.

 

True and thinking about it, what about Joshua's opponent Parker. That guy made a killing too.

 

Deontay 5th, really?

 

yeah Forbes lists are to be taken with a pinch of salt they are only guessing and those guesses are only as good as the data they have been able to research.

I would of expected some of the WBSS fighters to be in the mix. You get $2 mill for the first round and $4mill for the semi final which means Groves, Eubank Jr and Smith would of made $6 mill each in their last 2 fights. Compare that to Wilder, who made $2.1 mill vs Ortiz and $1.4 for Stiverne and $900K for Washington, that's only $4.4 mill.

Also where is Parker on the list. He would of got about $6 mill for the Joshua fight, he got $1.5 mill for Fury. He's definitely made enough to get on that list.

Loma made $1.2 mill for Rigo, $1.5 mill for Linares, $750K for Marriaga so can't see how he made more than Parker, Groves, Eubank Jr and Smith.
