How did tyson earn so much money during his career?

Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny Pacquaio make up less than 1% of Boxers and what most people don't understand is that the vast majority of Boxers don't make enough money to fight without having a second job.

The secret is the fact that the three fighters you named are once in a lifetime athletes and all three of them transcended the sport in there own different way.

To make to that level you have to become a great fighter, theres no secret or special workout..you have to put the work in for years and years..then you can make the type of money those fighters made.

Mike Tyson at his peak was on par with Jordan and Ali as being one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet. Tyson had world-wide appeal at the height of his career. I remember seeing a documentary about him and he was so well known in places like China, Japan, Africa, and so on. Tyson had mass appeal, and people from 8 to 80 knew who he was, it didn't matter if you were a boxing fan or not, you knew Mike Tyson. That appeal translated into huge paydays no matter who he fought.I believe he made 25 mil for his 1st post-jail fight against Peter McNeeley. Tyson was a big draw in his prime and made tons of money.

he was a top TOP athlete at the time and as popular as Micheal Jackson... there is no secret floyd and manny are top athletes and they're big but not Micheal jackson big like he was back then

Norman Bates has it.....

Floyd jr is one of the richest athletes today (only behind tiger woods) and still has a net worth around 100mil dollars, but he's earned like 250mil but half of that goes on taxes

Manny pacqiao is right behind, but both of them combined isnt even close to what tyson had in his prime.

He said he had 380milions when he left jail! that was after 40pro fights! How on earth did he earn so much money when he's biggest payday was against holyfield and he recieved around 35mil??

His TOTAL estimates are around 500-600milion...then he must have recieved like 30mil per fight??

WHATS THE SECRET???
