Wladimir Klitschko is now the greatest heavyweight who ever lived, according to Boxrec.

How do his earning compare to the likes of manny and Floyd who where the western ppv fighters during his era?

He's a dull, rubbish robot that was kicked off ppv, because nobody wanted to watch him jab and cheat his way to dull wins. The only reason this era is held to a higher standard, is because the guys now have a personality and actually try and box

Wlad may have beaten a few guys, bit he's a boring stain on the sport. The only time I cheered for Aj was when he smashed the robot into retirement. Good riddance

 

Happy Easter, man!

Well, I don't like lies and false narratives. That's what decent posters do - correct them.

 

Nice way to say I'm not a decent poster

I'll state again, you have not actually confirmed anything

Anyway..

 

I thought we were talking heavyweights. Nobody claims Wlad earned more than Floyd. You're moving the goalpost again.

Funny, as his PPV numbers were similar to 90's fighters. I guess nobody wanted to watch them either...

Wlad was a robot when it comes to personality, but still sold more than most of today's boxers before the Saudi era. And he did box. He outboxed every contedner there was for almost 10 years.

Some people claim Floyd was boring and running instead of boxing, I'm sure you're taking these opinion into consideration when talking about him, right?

 

You can deny facts all you want, it won't change them.

 

I like Wlad, quite a polarizing dude. Top 10 for me

 

Earning ranging from 150 million to 250
Facts indeed

 

Floyd was way more exciting than wlad. He had a few stinkers, but he didn't grab like wlad did and you know that

No, others didn't male more because he hogged the belts, but funny enough Holyfield, Lewis and Mike especially earned way more in their time. Even with inflation wlad fell behind those 3.

Do you want to know why he never earned as much as the above 3 guys? Because people found him boring.

We in the States and the UK (states first obviously) are much superior to you as fans. Even now outside if Saudi, the States and the UK is where it happens. Nobody cares about fights in Germany or Poland. They don't compare to what happens in the West

 

Well, I'm just citing opinions, just like you have an opinion. A lot of people say Floyd was boring, just like you think Wlad was boring. And Wlad and Floyd also have the same criticism against them, that they hug too much. But it doesn't affect their greatness in my eyes.

Wlad vs Haye sold similar amount of PPVs as the fight for the undisputed championship between Holyfield and Lewis. And how did he HOGGED the belts? He fought every contender available. So now you're just trying to spin that into a bad thing.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

Well, at least it's a figure I went out of my way to check and provide. You're the one with "I think AJ earned more" with no basis for it at all. And if you knew how estimates work, you would know why the figures can differ.

Funny fact: Wlad earned 34 millions for the fight with Haye. The biggest earnings AJ had for one fight before Saudi era was 30 million against Ruiz I (superior British + US fans couldn't even get him to earn more than Wlad for 1 fight). The second best - 20 million. Against Wlad at that.

 

Did wlad vs haye generate as much as lewis v Holyfield? I highly doubt that lol

They may have sold more in the UK (because of haye who was a bigger star than wlad)

Wlad was boring and needed big dance partners to sell his fights.
Why did Holyfield and Tyson have much higher earnings? Why did lewis get paid more? They foughtbin previous eras yet earned more?

Joshua and fury also earn more as boxers. Wlad might match them through promoting etc

He's a robot and was chased off the superior networks for the superior fanbase's

 

Why are you assuming me not actually checking? And that you are the only one doing so?



Before the Saudi era? Oh it's OK for you to move goslposts?

We are talking overall earnings not before or after anyone joined in

My basis is reading he has earned in access of 215 million
Where as I can only find Wlad's ranging from 150 to 250 million

That's far to much of a gap to really be reporting as anything close to factual

 

So how much did the both fight generate then?

Nope, these are worldwide figures. And how does it matter that Haye was a star? Lewis and Holyfield were literally 2 best heavyweights on the planet and stars in their own right. Only Mike Tyson was a bigger draw despite being washed.

Nope, he earned 10-20 million for basically every fight he got.

Tyson earned 1 million more than Wlad against Haye in the Holyfield rematch. Evander earned 5 million less. How is it MUCH more? You're basically proving that they earned similar amount of money while claiming nobody watched Wlad.

No they don't. Especially Fury. What was the biggest purse Fury got before Saudi money? Exactly.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

Cause if you checked you wouldn't be talking bollocks.

I'm not moving anything. That was my point from the get go, as we know how much money is in Saudi and how they changed the game.

Nobody stops you from checking on your own and disproving my point.

 

dull and dull wins sounds like floyd

rather watch a wlad fight over a floyd boring UD.

Lennox Lewis should have had a loss to Mercer. Whereas Wlad Brutalized Mercer like he was nothing!
