Last December 1st, six months were completed since the undefeated and, until then, undisputed Anthony Joshua lost four of his world boxing titles put on the line against Andy Ruiz Jr. Next Saturday (7th), in Saudi Arabia , the Brit will have the chance to try to regain the number one heavyweight spot. But to step into the ring, he will have a great incentive: a salary of no less than US$85 million, something around R$357 million at the current rate. While Ruiz will 'only' receive US$15 million to defend his titles.

The boxers received an incredible US$100 million (R$420 million) at the end of the fight. Even in the millionaire world of sports, the value is still extravagant. As a reference, it would be possible to pay the salaries of Messi (R$186 million) and Cristiano Ronaldo (R$144 million) together for one season.
In addition to sports, Anthony Joshua could buy around 28 'Buggati Vayron', considered one of the most expensive cars in the world, valued at approximately US$3 million (about R$12,6 million) or three Neverland mansions, owned by Michael Jackson.
