1 Lennox Lewis
2 Ricky Hatton
3 David Haye
4 Joe Calzaghe
5 Amir Khan

Not contradicting what you have said, but what did Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Frank Bruno, Naseem Hamed make?

Lennox must be number 1 though

Naz and Lewis are a country mile ahead.

Oscar easily, I think his grossed around $700million. Check out his wikipidea page !

It said he generated around $696m in pay per view. But generated, his share of that and what he took home are three entirely different things. I don't know what he would get from PPV, assume 25%. So thats $174m then taxes etc off that probably down to $87m.

His purses will substantially add to his earnings. Not to mention marketing, sponsorship, image rights etc etc - All chickenfeed compared to PPV/purses but substantially more than your average person earns in a lifetime.

Joe Louis should be on the list for the most money ripped off of him by the IRS, great piece of research this article. shows how sometimes a guy can do himself out of his hard earned money without knowing.

I never saw a dime because of my skunk of a manager. You shoulda looked out for me palooka, just a little bit, so I didn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. It was you palooka.

De la Hoya by a mile, Wikipedia him your be shocked ! It's something like $862M

[Bricks]

you've left off Oscar De La Hoya sure he's up there

Lol my 1st thought too and imo whether promoting or fighting it must be ODLH?

The UK sportsman rich list was released by the Sunday Times at the weekend, was interesting to see that Khan has already made more money than Joe Calzaghe. I thought Calzaghe would have made alot more money.
