    Holyfield x2

    Tyson

    Lennox made an astronomical amount of money, but how much was he getting from those fights?

    I would say $15 for Holy 1, $20 mil for Holy 2, $25 mil for Tyson and maybe something like $9 mil for Vitali.

    Eye-watering amounts. And then you see Mayweather turn down more because he's scared of a little Filipino dude. Shocking.

    Considering that in boxing and in most individual sports. The athlete is the asset, and the business, and nobody pays a boxer a weekly wage. Lennox Lewis i think is britians second highest earning athlete behind David Beckham. Its easy to make millions in football, but in boxing or other individual sports..? No majority of boxers shop at farm foods.

    Thats why you have to admire the smartness of guys like Chris Eubank, David Haye, and even Audley Harrison who have all made multi millions from the game.

    Holyfield I was $10m.
    Holyfield II was $15m.
    Vitali was $10m.
    Tyson was $17.5m, with a percentage of PPV revenue too. Which must've been hefty.
