    Whos first??
    Definately deserves it. If your breaking PPV records and your that much past your prime you are obviosly doing something right. I think he is doing alot for boxing too as a promoter so props to Oscar.

    I thought it was over $50 million.

    That's what an eariler list said Oscar made.

    Forbes magazine had the estimate at $52 million. They actually just finished counting the total for the ppv buys, and it was revised from 2.15 million buys to 2.4 million buys. So I wouldn't be suprised if DLH ends up pocketing over $50 million for this fight.

    I'd feel sorry for some guys, who make $50,000 a year or something, but if it happened to someone like Oscar or Michael Jordan, I have no sympathy for them.

    I'm pretty sure they factored that in. The list is for the highest paid athletes, and it includes all sources of income. Furthermore, I doubt a promoter could pull in close to $60 million.

    How does he get paid so much? Is that from being a promoter?

    If so, it kind of makes you think how much Don King has and how much he's made throughout the years.
