Recalling the time of her father, she stated that boxers “didn't really make that much” at that time.

“They were fighting for their lives, and I think as my dad started to make boxing more entertaining, that's when people came on board and how boxers started to, after my dad, make a lot of money,” she said.

Over the course of his remarkable career, Ali, who briefly resided in Cherry Hill in the early 1970s, earned over $57 million.

In contrast, the gate sale from the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout brought in over $17 million. According to reports, Jake Paul took home over $40 million, while Mike Tyson took home nearly $20 million.
