Prince Naseem Hamed........

I realise that but what's he been doing with his time?

 

One of my favourite things in boxing is watching the pre Barrera fight documentary showing Naz being his usual cocky self and thinking Barrera would be a easy night..

Its great to watch knowing he got made to look a total gimp in that fight..

The fact he only fought once again does not surprise me at all ..... basically a bully who met his match and quietly ran away with his tail between his legs.

 

Of course Mitchell has been prepared in the past.....just not to the multi dimensional, mythical levels mentioned by some on here

 

You obviously haven't seen the fight

 

naseem owns a property empire and splits his time between here and dubai playing golf.

 

Sounds about right, cheers.

 

People need to watch the Barrera fight, yeah he lost but it wasn't a landslide. Naz would have beaten MB had he taken the fight seriously. Fell in love with his power

 

I'm not sure that this is precisely true but he would certainly have had a much better chance....the bolded part is certainly correct.

 

How much do we reckon he actually did make?

I know at one point he was making the kind of money mayweather would have been proud of

 

His career earnings were estimated at 30 Million quid. Good but nowhere near what Floyd makes

 

Pretty fair summary that :good

 

I think that he made way more than 30 million just for the short series of fights in the states

 

Definatly made more than £30M I remember an interview from around 1998 ish when he was making American name and Lennox Lewis said something on sky sports about the celebrity style big time money Hamed was making for such a young man. Your probabaly right I'd say he made easy £30M just from the HBO contract he had in the USA or about the. 5 fights he did there.

I'd say he made about £20M before that in Britain. Plus he was being paid mega bucks by Addidas and for video games he had and other ****.

He was ****ing seriously rich. The money mayweather of his day at a time when floyd was earning peanuts in comparison

 

He never was on HBO PPV, so I dont see why HBO would give him £6 million which is like $9-10 million a fight, usually the highest they bid for a non PPV fight is $3 million.
