Boxing aside... Naz was a showman.
Love him or hate him... He drew the crowds.
Assuming that he maintained his super human confidence and boxing prowess, there is no reason to doubt he wouldn't be on the same money as Mayweather... Probably more, as Naseem was an entertainer, Floyd isn't.
With his cocky attitude, he would have as many people paying to see him get beaten, as paying to see him win..
$50M per fight would be a very conservative number...
Since there is no Marco Antonio Berreras or Erik Morales around ,he would probably have to fight Nonito Donaire and would be a long way back to #3 in the featherweight division.
I personally feel Naseem Hamed could beat Nonito Donaire if you consider the way Guellermo Rigondeaux beat him with his speed ,the only difference is that Hamed had more power than Rigondeaux did.
I loved Prince Naseem, but a fighter of Yemeni origin praising Allah after ever fight? I don't think the people of America would tolerate his overt Islamic speech.
Naz was a showman, his ring walks were EVENTS in and of themselves, and in truth they were sometimes better than his fights. I saw the actual Temptations, less than a mile or two from the Motown Museum at Joe Louis area sing "Get Ready Cause Here I Come" for Naz's ring walk against Soto. It was spectacular, better than any ring walk I have ever seen. Stuff like that is priceless, you can't put a price on it, but one thing is for sure, Naz would be making huge stacks if he was fighting today.
With all his antics and his theatrics and, of course, his talent, he'd be making more than what Floyd's getting.
I don't like him, so don't count my PPV input.
How would he do on PPV numbers?
