    Yeah I mean I need receipts here or sources....also, are these figures from boxing or outside boxing? Foreman made very little boxing so his situation is from the grill.

    Floyd made nowhere near $1B let alone $3B boxing so I'd be curious his (alleged) income streams...since Floyd loved posting that Bivol Canelo ticket it'd be dope if he posted his Spence Crawford ticket cus we know he lost at least $10K (prolly more)

    I'm sure Olu is a multi billionaire who gets paid more than these boxers combined and is just on here for the thrill of mixing with common folk.

    Careful now, Olu's a multi billionaire who just happens to be a barrister AND a boxing trainer. AND he's the nephew of Azumah Nelson. :risas3:

    Or he's just a try-hard wannabe punk. ;)

    Does it include Foreman's grilling machine revenue though? I would think so given the number. He is highly touted by the matchmakers and as a knockout artist brought a lot of casuals to the TV/Radios, but Tyson and Mayweather are something else as far as their mark on the casual psyche goes.

    Gotta give credit to Floyd for knowing how to con people. I never hear ANYONE talk about how great a Floyd fight was. Zero excitement whatsoever.

    It's because he was based in the US, had he been from another or even Euro mapped it wouldn't have had anywhere near the same results.

    Mike Tyson is the most remarkable. The purses Tyson was getting for that time were unbelievable.
