    Yeah sure thing.


    Unfortunely I cant link you the full article because you have to pay for it and I was going through my uni account to read some of them.

    http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=leonard+hagler+%2480+&btnG=Search&hl=en&ned=au&um=1&scoring=a

    Referring to what Hagler-Leonard grossed.


    Referring to Hagler's purse.

    Second article down...The link cuts out that part.

    http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=leonard+hagler+purse+million&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=au&um=1&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=1987/10&as_hdate=1987/10&lnav=hist9

    From the Boston Globe Jul 1987

    "Hagler's purse, approximately $19 million" (Just in the abstracty thing, cant access the full article)

    Another one

    http://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/19/sports/boxing-notebook-hagler-reportedly-still-bitter-over-loss-to-leonard.html


    The Chicago Tribune and Dallas Star also reported that number.


    Leonard's purse.

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066896/index.htm

    HOWEVER

    Ive resigned to the fact that Ive got that wrong now...Ive read that wrong, Thats probably the total purse and I cant find the article now that said in a short bit that Leonard made that much.

    There is about a dozen around that quote numbers less then what Hagler made...namely an article on the richest sportsman of that year.

    Oh and to convert the figures I used one of the many inflation calculators available online :good
