    Can't believe no one mentioned Gerry Cooney who got $ 10,000,000 to fight Larry Holmes because he was white ... if Cooney were a black man no way he gets that sort of money for that fight, if he even gets the fight ...

    Peter McNeeley was the first name to come to mind.

    Buster Mathis made $600k a few months later when he fought Tyson.

    Duane Bobick got $250,000 to fight Ken Norton in 5/77.
    On a per minute basis, the highest rate per hour.
