Who are the top ten earners in the history of boxing? I have a feeling that Mayweather is #1, but not sure.

As of mid 2017
Mayweather number 1 with over $700 million.

Vitali was a surprise to me. He made something like $70 million. Don't remember him ever being a revenue driver. Imagine what those guys from the 80's would be making today? (Hagler/Hearns/Leonard/Duran).

He made big bucks and was brutal to negotiate with.
