The best boxers don't have to make the most money. After all, the audience has always paid the most attention to the heavyweights. And in this regard, the legendary Mike Tyson gives an example Terence Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs).
āThese little guys donāt make as much money as they used to. Sugar Ray Leonard paved the way for them. He and Roberto Duran earned 15-18 million per fight. Today, the best boxer in the world is Terence Crawford, who cannot sell five thousand tickets. Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia can fill any room,ā Iron Mike said.
Perhaps the situation will change in one fight, because Crawford - WBO welterweight champion - will meet in Las Vegas on July 29 in a full title unification with Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs).
