PRIZE OF FIGHTING Boxing’s biggest contracts revealed

[NavI_027]

That's really a huge contract for a single fight if I ever knew that I should choose the profession of being a boxer. We're not quite sure where they invest it but for sure these boxers really have a good profit on it.

I agree the amounts are huge but you know this is one sport where one mistake can lead to brain injuries which last forever and you can even die if things go wrong because it is high paced sport and I have seen deaths caused by the injuries sustained. You might want to see what happened with Frankie Campbell which even now makes me feel so bad and the referee should have been banned.

Yeah! I agree on the point that it's reasonable for boxers to have high prizes because they do it in exchange of their health and wellness. However, I'm just sad that UFC fighters, which not only could get head injuries but also broken arms and legs, are less payed. Their contracts way lower than teh boxers. Thus any mixed martial arts competitors deserve a pay increase.

There are some lucrative prize money these fighters get but really they are risking their life for it and personally I would never risk my life for money because eventually you cannot buy life with money no matter how rich you are or how famous you are.

Well, you cam say it because you are not in love with the sport. But for the athletes out there, they are willing to takes risks because their passion is to fight. Sometimes it is not always about money .

I guess, the audience of boxing sports is bigger than the UFC, so they can rake more money than UFC.
And with the sponsorship deals that come with it, that's why boxing seems to be more lucrative.
However, if you are a boxer, you should know your strengths and weaknesses, and really be discipline with yourself.
Though it is the same with other sports regarding discipline. But one wrong move, and it will really cost your life.

That is the risk they take, at least many of those that take the path of boxing for the most part were really poor but they had the talent and the perseverance to make it to the top, but for everyone single star out there making millions on each fight there are probably hundreds of thousands with the same aspirations that never made it and yet they took the same risks.

After all only one hit is needed to change or even end a life as boxing is probably one of the few sports that is legally accepted in which at least a few die each year on the ring and we do not know how many end up with injuries that last for the rest of their lives.

Canelo Alvarez is the biggest and the number one on the list and he deserves it but the contract fizzle out making him a free agent and will earn him more than we he is tied up to promoter's contract, I see him as the boxer with a huge in three years time, if he can keep up his winning records, I think those fights with Golovkin makes him on top of the list he should do a trilogy.

You did your research and you know your stuff @OP and now I know too. I actually thought, the boxers through their managers actually bet against themselves for title and money but then, your write up gives a more detail as to how this huge funds lands in the hands of the boxers and it's something new to me. I really thought it was per fight based but, the contract nature of it could just be the perfect idea towards paying a boxer but, the way the fights are been fixed would be of great consideration as, you can't have an unstable or healthy boxer in the ring.

This should start with Floyd Mayweather.

It is obvious how much money he earned from his previous fights including Manny Pacquiao and Connor McGregor. It is true that Canelo Alvarez has that great contract he separated so that deals off. From these contracts, Floyd is the high earner of all. As far as I know, Manny also has a great contract with Showtime, why is he not on the list?

[samputin]

Well those are Deal per contract and not per fight so i think there is different prize each fight that has not been recorded.
And why is it Manny Pacquiao is not mentioned above?meaning he has lower offers than those 5 ?

I think the money they get is not 100% theirs but should be for management, but still they earn a large amount and should be able to live happily in their old age.
Where have their money invest? There are many who use it to property, cars and do not rule out to business. Sometimes lifestyle makes them bankrupt

Of course and look at Canelo when he Quit the contract meaning that must not be added as His.

Yes, Manny Pacman Pacquiao should be in the list because he has a good deal with Bob Arum before and make a lot of money as well during his prime. I think recently it was Canelo who is really the cash cow. GGG also signs a a deal with DAZN in a reported eight figures:

I thought so, too. Being a fellow Filipino of PacMan, I know he also earns a lot of money in every fight, win or lose. And during this time of crisis, he uses it to help those citizens who are in great need of help.

With regards to those boxers mentioned in OP, since they have a lot of it, they can invest it in anywhere they want. I'm sure they'll engage themselves in businesses so that their money will still work for them even if they stop with their boxing career. I can't really think of anymore specific things they can invest in because with that amount, sky's the limit. It's really up to them. They'll just have to be wise so they won't end up being bankrupt.

For a legendary title with millions dollars of contract of prize + advertisement and others Pacquaio deserve on the list but as the creator of the list is only OP and this is not official though maybe he should research more about this since I'm sure there are other star who deserve to be on that list.

I believe marquez deserve a slot to.

Some of the sport's top attractions have been given eye-watering guarantees when signing on the dotted line.

Canelo Alvarez - £278m
The Mexican star signed sport's most lucrative deal ever in 2018, when he penned an 11-fight DAZN agreement worth £278m ($365) spanning over five years.
But just three bouts and two years into the contract and Alvarez requested it be terminated as he split with DAZN and Golden Boy Promotions.
He still banked around £64.6m as a result of beating Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs and Sergey Kovalev.
Canelo, 30, is now set to control his own career and return as a box office fighter, opposed to DAZN's streaming platform.

I'm surprised to see Canelo Alvarez on top of the standing, the fight with Triple G and his winning with Kovalev is what puts him on top of the standing, he still has many fights left in his career and there's a big possibility that he will become the highest earning boxing superstar because he is now a freelancer, he can also set up his own promotion like Pacquiao, DeLa Hoya and Mayweather.

It seems the criteria of the OP is how big was your contract when you signed and not necessarily the money that you earned with the contract itself, after all it is described very clearly that Mayweather earned a lot more than what his contract stipulated and Canelo earned a lot less than what the contract said because he only fought 3 out of 11 fights and yet he appears on first place, which is not really that surprising taking into account that as inflation has gone up the contracts need to become bigger as well.

For a legendary title with millions dollars of contract of prize + advertisement and others Pacquaio deserve on the list but as the creator of the list is only OP and this is not official though maybe he should research more about this since I'm sure there are other star who deserve to be on that list.

I believe marquez deserve a slot to.

I do not know why Pacquiao is not on the list but maybe he never signed a big contract for many fights since he was not interested in being tied with a company for long or maybe this is just an oversight by the OP.
