    DLH got payed some 55 mill for Floyd. The biggest payday for a fighter. Money May made 35 mill.

    The highest purse excluding PPV shares was Holyfield's $35M in the Tyson rematch.

    But including PPV shares, I believe DLH got the highest against Floyd, then followed by Lewis and Tyson (both got approx$60M each).

    Call me out if I'm wrong, but I thought that was the total they got between each other, Lewis got 55%, Tyson 45% of 60 mill?

    That sounds a lot more realistic than $60 mill each
