He's also the 2nd highest paid athlete in the world! source: http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ys-forbeslist102607&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
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.
43 large for one fight, damn, that could well be more than what everyone else in boxing made all year put TOGETHER! Well i guess if you exclude Mayweather.
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.
