    Compared to over rated footballers who can be injured all season and make 15 million dollars a year?

    Whilst as a boxer you have to fight to make the money- and its a hurt business.

    The boxers are well unpaid at every level compared to a soccer player or a Tampon wearing padded NFL player.

    This is the reason I laugh at the ufc when they give ppv numbers and how much money they make..boxing is just a monster and at the end of the day the heavyweight champion of the world will make more money then the ufc HW CHAMP and also beat him up in a street fight as well..

    That's what Fury is doing. Comes to pick up his paycheck.

    That's why it pays to be the heavyweight champion of the world. With three belts and not losing in a decade, I'd say he deserves it. Although, I can't think of what Tyson Fury has done to deserve 7 million dollars. Some times these pugs just get lucky. Like I could never figure out why Floyd Mayweather made any money when he was so boring and small. He should have been struggling in Japan for peanuts like Rigondeaux was until recently.

    That's why it pays to be the #1 lb for lb boxer on the planet and undefeated as a professional. If Wlad deserves it, so does Floyd. There's no reason smaller fighters should be paid less. What they lack in power they make up for in speed, stamina, agility etc
