Who are/were the wealthiest boxers

Nah, its not about that post, I was too polite in that one. I think I had it right the first time, you're just a **** stirrer. At least Betty does it honestly.

You don't see a problem at all with the first post you made tonight?? If not try reading it again when you're sober...atsch

 

If you took it personally(with it being your YT upload),I'm sorry.I edited it for that reason.I saw you edited your post aswell

 

Yeah, I took being called a '****' personally. I'm funny like that.

You edited it because it was a dumb post, not because it was my YT clip. Feel free to reinstate it, its good to let people see the 'real you' once in a while.

 

OK then i'll apologise-I'm sorry.Not that I called you a ****.

 

Oscar plans on being the first boxing billionaire.

Tyson
Holyfield
Lewis took really good care of his money. Klitschkos are making lots of money now and they are investing it well.

 

What sort of money was Rocky Marciano making when was at the top?

 

Naz was britains top earning sportsman for a couple of years in the mid 90s. He must have a few bob still squirelled away.

 

You're all way out.

The richest boxer ever, if you convert money to present day values, was Max Schmeling.

However, it wasn't through his boxing.

After his career faded out he was offered a holding stake in the Coca-Cola corporation that wanted to open up a German based operation. He duly took the opportunity and became one of the richest men in what was a post-war recovering Germany.

When he died in 2005 (aged 99) he was still a shareholder in Coca-Cola Germany and had spent decades as a very well respected philanthropist, giving away tens of millions and supporting lots of projects to assist the less well-off in Germany.

His estate was estimated to be worth well in excess of $2 Billion.

 

Naz was earning more than Beckham at one point. I think Naz would Britain richest sportsmen in 2000/2001.

 

Naz also invested his money successfully in the property business

 

Domestically, Scott Welch was financially pretty sound I think prior to his boxing career due to several care homes he owned I believe, or at least something along those lines.

I think James Hare was pretty well off too, hence the "Lord Of The Manor" moniker he used to get tagged with.

 

How much did Eubank make from the sport? I know during his peak he bought that huge listed building and gave it to a homeless people's charity- surely in doing that it shows he had a lot in the bank? What a top fella as well:hail.

 

I checked it out, I couldn't find the figures for the years I was thinking of (96-98). The 1999 figures came up and he was second on about £9M, behind Lewis (about £17M), but I'am almost certain he was above Lewis for the couple of years prior to that. Beckham was 10th in 1999 on just shy of £3M.

 

:shock:

Holy Shmit !!!

THATS some topper bucks.

Top post too :thumbsup

 

I remember it was reported that he had a £10 million sponsorship deal with Adidas.
