Hagler and Leonard got $10m once for their fight and were 1,000x the names that Oscar or Chavez were.
That’s £60m btw. Fighters in the US were making hundreds of thousands of pounds there.
Bwaaahahahahahhhahh more like $3m and $2m and that’s pushing it for that period, I’d still be amazed if he earned 2-3mill
Naz had PPV money from both US AND UK, close to a million sells a fight for both HBO and Sky simultaneous.
Hamed made over 60mill Oscar in the 90s not even remotely close
Hamed. By far. Thanks to Eubank’s lead. He was HBO’s biggest draw.
I had never heard of Hopkins until he fought Trinidad. I corrected you, Eubank was on a far bigger stage. Success is how much money you make and...
I had no idea Billy Joe Saunders was still boxing.

G-Man was built up massively by the British media as a total monster.
Jones and Hopkins were viewed by 100,000 in the US. That’s simply not a big stage when you consider Eubank was watched by 18,500,000 in England...

Still does
Jones always fought for money.
Eubank Jr is certainly real good against a guy who comes at him - the Abraham performance was actually amazing really. He cannot shuffle forward...
