The famous sports website TalkSPORT has made a comprehensive assessment of the PPV of professional boxers in the history of professional boxing, and it is interesting to see who can top the list? They surveyed boxers of different eras and finally determined the rankings.
It's clear that comparing your older generation to people today is tricky, especially since there's a lot of money and money now that supports the sport, but TalkSPORT took inflation into account in their research.
You might think that the first place on the list will be the boxers involved in the recent period, but that's not the case.
Muhammad Ali came out on top because Ali earned $100 million at the box office against George Foreman, with 1 billion people worldwide watching the game. Ali has a lot of other big games and due to his personal charisma, his payday would be incredible if he were playing in the current era.
Second place was Mike Tyson. He was called "the worst man on the planet" and was able to fascinate a large audience because he could knock down his opponents at any time.
Floyd Mayweather is next, although he's not as exciting as the other names on the list and his game revenues against Oscar de la Joa, Pacquiao and Connor McGregor are huge. This helped him earn about $1 billion in revenue over the course of his career.
The fourth was Jack Dempsey, who played in front of 91,000 people in the 1920s, the first boxing champion in boxing history to create $1 million.
Leonard came in fifth, followed by George Foreman. Foreman starred with Ali in "Jungle Wars," a box-office success with his ability.
Robinson was a trailblazer who made more than $4 million, which was an incredible sum of money in the 1950s and 1960s. That's enough to put him seventh on the list.
Eighth and ninth places are Della Joa and Pacquiao. Both of them have had fierce matches with Mayweather, but over the course of their careers, the two have earned incredible welcome.
The only boxer on the list currently active at number ten is Mexican superstar Avarez. So far, he has made $225 million in his career, especially in Mexico and the United States, where he is seen as a god-like presence.
