What boxer has earned the most money (purely from Boxing) without ever holding a world title?

not in an entire career.

I know Jameel McCline did well.
Murray has made solid money.
Kirkland was getting good TV money and big fights....

But McGregor......

That was a paid exhibition with boxing rules.
Should have never been sanctioned.

 

True but technically it counts and McGregor has never held a World title.

 

And I bet if we tallied the net earnings of the afformentions high earning contenders, and we could include Arreola in there too, they still probably haven't earned what that joke fight got McGregor.

 

I don’t think McGregor had a lot of hands in his purse either.

 

Hey it's a buyers market believe it or not this joke of a fight is the largest selling PPV ever in Australia.

 

At one point he kept loosing fights but his purses kept going up

 

I see him regular round where I live, nice bloke. A man with a different team/gym around him that could've done a lot more imo, he had subtle skills that could've took him further without a doubt. I was at his last fight and was really happy for him to bow out on a win

 

The BBC gave Fraudley £1 million pounds of UK taxpayer money to fight bum after bum. Thats probably not the most a non titlist has been paid, but it is probably the most egregious.

 

Glass Joe!

 

I wonder how much Mitchell earned. He had 1 stadium fight.

 

I think anyone who paid to watch him refuse to even try and have a fight against David Haye might consider themselves harder done by.

 

Well Fraudley and Princess are two of the biggest con artists around. However if you were indeed dumb enough to pay for that sh** to a certain extent its your own fault. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. However no-one had a choice about the BBC giving Fraudley a taxpayer funded paycheck.

 

I won a competition to go after putting a bet on with SkyBet and still felt a little bit ripped off.

 

i bet hes down to earth and not flashy
his cross arm defense was unique to him in british fighters that i have seen
never ran / as you say he was subtle/ long and wiry and although he had the sparring partner mentality when he went in the ring / when he wanted to he could give anyone a fight

how many fightrs who lost over 200 fights could you say that about

zero

i so so many tralhorses lay down at the first sight of danger yet buckley did it for
year after year
fight after fight
weight after weight

i have seen all the uk promoters say he was one of the first names on there mobiles because they new he would give there prospects a good workout and the fans would see them go rounds.
