    Over everything endorsements sponsorships and high profile fights??

    I would say possibly Gerorge Foreman 2 careers lots of huge fights and he made more money off the grill than he ever did from boxing, then he sold the rights for something insane like 500 mil?


    Who has made more than him, DLH ? Tyson not sure ???

    thoughts ?

    Not Tyson. Lewis retired with 400 mil.
    ODLH, I think he is a billionaire. Tomas Hearns, Hagler, Leonard.

    To think that the 'George Foreman' grill was offered to Hulk Hogan first and Hogan turned it down...DOH!

    A British magazine estimated Lewis' net worth at around 100 million British Pounds. Approx $150 million US.

    Hogan went through a divorce (probably cost him 50% + legal advisors) and his son went to jail for a drunk driving accident that left the victim in a lifelong, permanent state of semi-coma. Settlement and legal bills easily went into the millions.

    Hogan probably has some money left but it certainly is a lot less than a few years ago.

    Lewis made $150 million, Foreman's total is probably 5x that.
