List of the 20 top earners in boxing

It could be - those four are close.

 

Are you saying that Haye got $40 mill for a fight? :think

I'm not sure.... but - sure Haye should be on the list.

Looking at Haye's last fights and the newspaper reports I would esitmate his purse as $3-6 mill per fight. Thoughts?

 

True, I did not mean to say that Pacquiao and Floyd don't generate a lot of money, because they do. However, Germany has become a boxing power house in the last 10-15 years - and Wlad, Vitaly, Abraham, Sturm etc. are being paid far more than almost everyone in boxing. fighters are generally paid much less than people think and many especially Mexican and american fighters fight at the championship and challenger levels for $10.000 or $20.000.

Look at this video to hear Dwyer talk about purses in boxing:

What is the color of Mayweather's girlfriend's panties?
Are Froch's big toe longer than his nose?

Dude..... we all have plenty of questions.

Please add to the thread if you think you have answers (we have more than enough questions already).

 

I'm not saying that either because on the whole I don't think it has. But surely many of the best paid boxers these days fight out of Germany.

Many none-American fighters have greater earning potential than American fighters because they are often the only or one of few big stars in their country.

In the US there are many so if you are a champ, you are not that special and may still get a lowly pay. Whereas if you were, for example, Swedish, Swiss or Dutch and won a title... WOW - you would surely earn in the millions right away.

So American fighters has a disadvantage right off the bat. On the other hand, if you hope to be no. 1 P4P it is better to be American because you will more easily get the fights at home and the earnings roof is higher.
