    Very elucidating and interesting. This man made the most of his income. I wonder why only two years as a pro though...?

    Hand problems apparently. Surgeries couldn't fix the problem.

    Very interesting piece but one has to remember that Jeffries was a multiple amateur Champion and Olympic Medallist. The average kid with a decent amateur record turning pro wouldn't get a tenth of this in his first two years.

    Yeah its defo not representative of the average pug's earnings. On the other extreme end however, a decent living can be made being a record padder.

    This is actually pretty good considering he got signed during the recession and boxing pay has only increased this decade.
