Dela Hoya with Golden Boy productions or whatever his promotional outfit is called is gonna do well .
Recently deceased Bobby Dykes was a succesful buisnessman.
Max Schmeling did real well with Coca - Cola in Germany I believe.
Pete Rademacher did well in buisness I believe.
Tunney married into the Carnegie fortune.
Larry Holmes owns all sorts of buisnesses in Penn. Hes got about a gazzillion dollars from what I have heard.

Leach Cross did well as a dentist after his boxing career was over.
He held clinics in New York and Hollywood.
Primo Carnera earned more money during his wrestling career than during his boxing career. I suppose you could say he was successful, although his circumstances as a boxer were unusual - even in those days.
Rocky Marciano was well off after his career was over. He would never spend any of his own money but used his celebrity status to have favours done and obtain material goods. Even the car he got his wife was paid by others than than him.
James Braddock earned good money from his golden deal with Louis, getting 10% of Louis purses for all his title defenses.
Jim Corbett had a sucessful acting career going. He was also a very popular person, earning money by lending his name and presence to defferent events.
Jim Jeffries was well off until he lost a lot of his fortune in the Wall Street crash. Ever the fighter, he managed to get his business to prosper again and left a fat bank account when he died.
James Douglas is doing OK from what I hear. He invested in a lot of cheap real estate in Colombus, Ohio in the mid 1990s which has since got up a great deal due to building projects.
Rocky Gaziano did well from his books and celebrity status.
A lot of the old timers and pioneers, like "Gentleman" John Jackson, Jack Broughton and John Morrisey ended up real wealthy.
There are probably many more. The sad thing is we only get to hear about the broke, brain damaged og criminalized ex-fighter, never the ones who do well. Happy endings are just not good press.
