    Yep, he sold over 100.000.000 units, earning a few hundred million Dollars off it.

    Maybe DLH should start selling fishing accessories.

    Bernard Hopkins has had more than 25 title fights and he is really tight with his money. So he might be the richest.

    If you ask which fighter earned the most, it's Tyson. But he just lost it all, who knows how.

    He then sold the rights to his name to the Grill company, who paid over $100,000,000 to stick 'George Foreman' on the front of grills, blenders, deep fat fryers and any other appliances they come up with. There's an interview with him on youtube where he talks about it.

    This was after he made **** knows how many millions from each individual GF grill in the first few years.

    Smart, smart cookie is big George. Good on him. :thumbsup

    Hopkins got **** money for most of his defences like Half a million. Exception being the de la hoya fight he got 10 million dollars. A Guy who will be near the Top is Ali he sold 50% ofhis name to adidas for 50 million.

    George Foreman gets something like $0.26 for the mini grill all the way up to $1.03 for the largest grill.

    Apparently he does really big numbers on the aprons as he gets like $4.30 per apron.

    Also didn't hulk hogan file for a patent on yellow t-shirts at the height of his fame in the eighties but it never was granted?

    Klitschko's recieve 1Euro each for every bottle of Boss aftershave sold in Germany!!

    Foreman makes more money from his grills than he did from boxing.

    Lennox Lewis made quite a bit in his career, not being connected with Don King helps, and he seems to be doing quite well now. He has a lot invested in properties and whatnot.

    It's always nice to hear about boxers that do well after their career is over cos usually all you hear about is fighters blowing all their money and falling on hard times.
