Despite the many narratives that are thrown around about LeBron James, there is no doubt that he is one of the biggest names in the world of basketball. He has made a legacy for himself through his sheer skill and talent, which has also made him one of the highest-paid players in the league today. LeBron signed a two-year contract with the Lakers for $99,023,288, which will allow him an average salary of $49,511,644.

This in itself sounds like a huge amount, but hold your horses because if we zoom out and compare this with another huge name in the realm of professional sport, Lebron’s yearly earnings are overshadowed by a significant amount. The other huge name in question is the celebrated British boxer and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who is up to fight Francis Ngannou today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Fury’s one-match earning is more than LeBron’s yearly salary

Tyson will step into the ring with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, a much-anticipated match for the fans. If anything, there has been a lot of hype around this face-off merely because the two titans will meet in a cross-sport showdown. What is also interesting about the match is that, according to sources, Tyson is set to pocket a jaw-dropping $50 million for his showdown against Francis.

Now, if we put this in perspective, LeBron’s $49,511,644 annual salary falls short of $2,392,650 from Tyson’s $50 million earnings from just one match. How crazy is that?

The NBA is known for its lucrative contracts and hefty salaries, but now that this comparison is in the picture, it becomes hard to wrap it around the head. You might want to rethink your career choices from now on out. In all fairness, Tyson Fury has climbed the long and difficult ladder of carving his name in the world of professional sports.

But Tyson’s net worth does not even come close to Lebron’s

Today, Fury is one of the biggest names in the world of combat sports. With a net worth of about $65 million, the boxing titan is one of the highest-paid boxers in the world. Compared to him, UFC’s Francis Ngannou has a net worth of about $5-7 million. Despite this, LeBron still has a higher net worth than Tyson, with a whopping $1 billion. Tyson does not even come close to Bron in that respect.

Regardless, it is crazy that Fury will earn $50 million from a single match. There have been ideas thrown around that Tyson is in it only for the money, but Francis is not one easy match either. He is a beast in the ring with a real chance to give Tyson a run for his money. This will definitely be an exciting match to look out for.
