    This list is ridiculous
    There’s no way that Canelo earns less than GGG

    He can thank the British fans for that.

    Iron Mike wasn't really a model type was he? Sonny Liston? Joe Frazier?

    I think it's about a total package: looks, charisma, exceptional boxing skill, likeability or simply being gangsta. If you lack one thing it's probably not hurting too much. When a fighter lacks in multiple departments it seriously impedes his marketability.

    Shouldn' that list be 1-10 UK fighters as that's where all the money is according to the matchroom bots.

    He had a different type of appeal though. For his fanbase, AJ has the ideal look.

    I personally can't wait to see his female admirers faces as does a Trevor Berbick impression after Wilder connects.

    Yep the more I think about it the more I think it's just a click bait article. No way Joshua earns more than Canelo. Canelo/Golovkin did a ton of buys. Only way is if Joshua is earning crazy money for endorsements.

    Its amazing how people would endorse a racist and a former drug dealer. British society has gone mad.

    Even if Wilder was undisputed and totally unified all the belts he would still be fighting in Alabama leisure centres.

    I'm guessing they would have got a reasonably modest up-front fee and the balance after the tournaments are concluded. That money probably hasn't been factored in as yet. That's my hunch...

    Joshua does have a crazy number of endorsements though, I could see that. Can't see Golovkin over Canelo though.

    However, on the other hand Forbes is usually pretty reliable - it's the #1 source for rich-lists.
