Terence Crawford Vs. Gervonta Davis: Who’s Made More Money In Boxing?
Terence Crawford and Gervonta Davis have both made great livings as fighters, but which one has made more money in the boxing careers?
What sparked this question? The two world champions have been engaged in a nasty war of words on X, and the source of their beef is multi-layered.
Terence Crawford and Gervonta Davis Have Been Publicly Beefing
Davis took to social media as he went on a profane rant insulting Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi powerbroker who bought The Ring Magazine and has been the driving force behind several huge boxing events over the past two years and the the fighters who attended the event.
Davis has since deleted most of the posts, but he was seemingly frustrated that he wasn’t invited to The Ring Magazine awards show in London.
Crawford, who was there and seemingly negotiating a mega-fight with Canelo Alvarez, poked Davis in a post on X.
Davis responded with a series of strong accusations and harsh words, including some out-of-bounds insults about Crawford’s wife in a now-deleted post.
The two went back and forth about who has made the most in their careers.
Who Has Made the Most Money in Their Career: Terence Crawford or Gervonta Davis?
The short answer to this question is: only a handful of people know and none of them would give you a straight answer. PPV network executives, promoters and managers know the real answer.
While the definitive answer isn’t publicly available, there are facts, opinions, and perspectives to consider.
ESPN’s Mike Coppinger insists Crawford has made more in his career, mostly on the strength of his pay-per-view battle with Errol Spence Jr. in 2023 and his fight against Israil Madrimov in August 2024.
Davis has had one massive PPV event, and that was his impressive TKO win over Ryan Garcia in April 2023.
That said, Davis is unquestionably one of the biggest draws in the sport and his pay-per-view totals are considerably higher than Crawford.
