If George Foreman's boxing career had happened in the current day and age, he'd have been able to retire with the kind of money that Floyd Mayweather currently earns. Sadly for George, he was born in the wrong era, and although he was Heavyweight Champion of the World twice and fought in one of history's most famous matches against Muhammad Ali, Foreman arguably never got paid what he was truly worth.
He's got that money now though - and plenty more to go with it. Foreman signed an endorsement deal with a company that had designed a brand new 'fat reducing' grill for the kitchen and wanted a celebrity partner to help with the marketing. Foreman gets paid a percentage of every unit sold - and so far, that's more than one hundred million grills. He's earned more as a salesman than he ever did as a boxer. Just don't tell 80's wrestler Hulk Hogan - he turned the endorsement deal down!
