Rich List
The Richest Boxers in the World (2026): Ranked by Net Worth
The richest boxer of all time is Floyd Mayweather, worth an estimated $400 million in 2026, and he got there by refusing to let anyone else own his fights. That is the theme of this entire list: the wealthiest boxers were not always the best fighters, they were the ones who controlled their pay-per-view, promoted their own cards, and built businesses that outlasted their careers, while some of the hardest hitters in history earned fortunes and lost them.
This is our running ranking of the richest boxers by estimated net worth. Each name links to a full profile breaking down their purses, pay-per-view revenue, businesses and what they own, plus a separate life-story biography. Figures are estimates from public sources and are updated as we research each profile.
