Boxing has always been about two things: glory and money. Sometimes fighters get both, sometimes they walk away with just a fat paycheck and a bruised ego. The heavyweight division especially knows how to generate serious cash, and when all the major belts are on the line at Wembley Stadium, fans are looking at numbers that would make lottery winners jealous.
