British Ring Earnings? Hatton made almost double Calzaghe!!

[Nightmare Roy]

Dont' agree with Mayweather being broke one day though he doesnt act all that smart and flashes the cash i think he is a pretty smart businessman underneath it all and Ellerbee is soemtimes portrayed as a bit of a buffoon but i think he is pretty savvy and looks after Floyds money well. He was smart enough to leave the promoters and get the big money n his own and he has diversified his appeal with his Wrestling gig and appearances on dancing with the stars. Though he has hangers on i dont think Floyd is the type to lavish these guys with money and he seems pretty good at keeping it all in the family

There were Rumors that he made his come back because he couldn't pay his tax bill, he's also a big gambler. Tyson earned more than anyone and he went broke, Holyfield too, the trouble with the American tax system is you can defer payment and a lot of sports stars have spent it all by the time it comes to paying the IRS. And Floyd is super flash with his cash.

Yes heard the rumours and seen the t shirts on 24/7 Floyd obviously had some gripe/problem with paying the tax bill $16 mil i think it said on the shirts god knows how much he is worth or what his overall ring earnings are. It will be intresting to see what Mayweather does after his retirement for money.

It would be sad to see a fighter of that caliber who has earned so much go broke, but my guess is it will happen, seen it far too often. I saw him on cribs or some other show like it once, his cars alone must have cost $5,000,000. As crazy as it sound you can soon burn through $100,000,000 if your a big spender.

Floyd may well have made a shitload of cash, but that's no guarantee that he'll be made for life. There's a long, long list of NBA and NFL players who've ended up bankrupt after earning 10's of millions.

what the F has lennox invested in to get 100 million green queens?

Rumour is Hatton is 700k down on his promotions, but then he can afford to invest, just hopefully he has invested it wisely, I think his team are on a steep learning curve at mo.
I wonder if they will be so keen to invest when Matthew has retired

People who are speaking with great authority on this subject are either:

a) incredibly well informed, one of a handful of people in the country who knows exactly what transpired or
b) full of poop

Re Hamed, I believe he did indeed make a packet from property, perhaps as much as he made from the sport; but again, this is just hearsay.

From the High Court judgment between Calzaghe and SN:

"Between 21 January 1997 and 19 April 2008 every boxing match undertaken by the Defendant (except one) was promoted by Mr Warren personally, the Claimant or a company under Mr Warren’s control. In this period the Defendant earned in excess of £16,000,000."
