A list of boxing’s earnings per punch has been released, and it makes for fascinating viewing, Alex Gendler Smith reports for GIVEMESPORT.

 

Betsperts have published a list of boxers and the amount they earn per punch, calculating how much they made from fights and how many punches they threw. They have used boxing information since 2010 and the list covers fights that have over one million buys worldwide.

 

Manny Pacquiao is the man with the most punches landed since 2010. However, he only finds himself in seventh place on the list for money earned per punch, earning just over £96,000 for every punch he landed.

The highest placed Brit on the list is not Tyson Fury, who finds himself in 22nd, earning £36,909 per punch. It is in fact Anthony Joshua who leads the way for the British boxers, earning a staggering £208,743 for each one of his 443 punches landed since 2010.

 

What boxer has earned the most money per punch since 2010?

 

Unsurprisingly, Floyd Mayweather Jr has earned the most money across the 13 years, just under £450 million, nearly double that of anybody else. He has also earned the most per punch, cashing in nearly £240,000 every time he hits the opponent.

 

‘Money’ Mayweather has a 50-0-0 record and has fought Pacquiao and Conor McGregor. Interestingly, McGregor finds himself second in the list after his one and only fight against the American, taking away £225,160 per punch he landed on his opponent that day.

 

The other three fighters who have earned over £100,000 per punch are Mike Tyson (£124.3k), Wladimir Klitschko (£115.2k) and Alexander Povetkin (£106.3k).

Victor Ortiz has landed the least punches in the top 25, with only 26 landed, earning £64,084 for each one, putting him 12th on the list.

Deontay Wilder finds himself in 14th place, even after his three major clashes with Fury, earning £63,173 per punch.

Andy Ruiz Jr, who beat Joshua back in 2019 in one of the greatest shocks in boxing history, is 17th, earning £52,775 per punch landed.
