    I looked up his purses a year or two ago. It was over 10 million. If you look up Roman Gonzalez' purses, he's barely made one million dollars his whole career. Heavyweights almost always make the most money, with a few minor exceptions like Mayweather, De La Hoya, Pacquiao, Leonard, Hearns. But Chisora has consistently gotten larger purses than most heavyweights.

    Haye fight purse 4 mil. Vitali fight purse 650k. Fury x2, Helenius, Whyte, Takam

    Oh wow.. didn't realise he had done so well. I read somewherr that he has good business outside boxing like dealing with Art and Antiquities etc.

    Welll.. good for Chisora I am happy for him.

    He's a contender by definition.

    He was a contender and now he is one of the best paid gatekeepers in the history of the sport, he's a level above a journeyman but not quite a genuine contender anymore.

    With Derek Chisora Fury beat him easy All other boxers he gave a good fight & some he was unlucky.
    Haye KO Chisora but it was a good fight.
