Boxers earn their living in the ring. Some also earn income from endorsements and other sources. Many have earned incredible amount of money throughout their best years. But the true measure of their wealth and success is not how much they earned but how much they keep. It is also interesting to note how long (or short) it took them to accumulate their wealth; and how much of what they own TODAY is net of liabilities and contingency.
NET WORTH is measured as the difference between assets (properties, investments, financial instruments) and liabilities (what is owed in mortgages, loans, etc.)
Two of the most unfortunates are EVANDER HOLYFIELD and MIKE TYSON. Today, their net worth is estimated at about $1 million each. In contrast, GEORGE FOREMAN is worth $250 million and tops the list. OSCAR DELA HOYA is worth about $175 million. FLOYD MAYWEATHER is estimated to have a net worth of $90. (His lavish lifestyle and penchant for luxuries question what could represent contingencies [taxes/legal expenses, etc.] that may reduce this amount.
MUHAMMAD ALI is worth $80 million compared to WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO's $30 million.
BOB ARUM and MICHAEL BUFFER are worth $200 million; FREDDIE ROACH is worth $20 million - the same as JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ.
MANNY PACQUIAO is worth $70 million. This is astonishing as it represents the shortest wealth accumulation time by any of the other boxers.
HERE is a complete list (in millions of dollars):
ZAB JUDAH, FERNANDO VARGAS – 8 ROY JONES JR. – 45
MIGUEL COTTO JR – 15 EVANDER HOLYFIELD, MIKE TYSON – 1
MUHAMMAD ALI – 80 MANNY PACQUIAO – 70
