(Photo: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)Modern research has identified the 10 highest earners in boxing, and ranked fighters based on how much money they make per punch in the ring. In the study Conor Benn he currently ranks 10th on the list, although his position is expected to improve after signing a $15 million contract with Zuffa Boxing that will move him to eighth overall.
The analysis also shows that Benn’s financial efficiency is increasing significantly. His per-fight earnings are projected to augment from $11,092 to $20,300 after fighting King Prograis.
A modern study has revealed that Conor Benn will pocket twice as much on every shot after leaving Matchroom for Zuffa this year.
Research from 247Bet determined which lively fighters were making the most money by comparing the total amount of prize money earned with the total number of punches landed by 25 professional boxers.
Conor Benn ranked tenth in the study as it was estimated that each of them 1503 career blows were worth on average $11,092. In total, Conor Benn raised funds $16.7 million By 25 professional attacks, with an average 60.1 blows dealt in each fight.
After announcing his dramatic move to Zuffa Boxing, it was recently revealed that Benn will face two-time super lightweight champion Regis Prograis on Saturday, April 11, with the fight providing an stimulating twist to Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov.
It is widely reported that Conor Benn will be making money $15 million since his first fight under the Zuffa Boxing banner. This hefty fee would mean his total career earnings would reach astonishing levels $31.7 million.
Based on Benn’s striking statistics, it is estimated that his fight with Prograis will augment his earnings per punch by as much as $20,300 per punch, almost twice what he earned before joining Zuffa Boxing.
In turn, thanks to this augment, Conor Benn moved up from tenth to eighth place in this survey, leapfrogging both Terence Crawford ($17,960) AND Joseph Parker ($19,925)but I still have a few dollars to make before I catch up to first place Anthony Joshua ($231,709).
However, Conor Benn can console himself with the fact that he has already earned more per punch than his biggest rival, Chris Eubank Jrwho, as stated, was simply making money $7,470 for a blow, which gives him 13th placevol in the study.
The 10 highest-paid boxing boxers, ranked by dollars per punches scored:
| Degree | Boxer | Number of pro. fights | Respect. All career blows have been thrown | ($) Est. Total career earnings | ($) Est. Earnings for hits landed |
| 1 | Anthony Joshua | 33 | 2289 | $530,000,000 | $231,709 |
| 2 | Jake Paul | 14 | 812 | $177,500,000 | $218,555 |

On Saturday, Rosas steps into the octagon for the eighth when he takes on Raoni Barcelos in the main event of UFC Vegas 121. It's Rosas' first UFC main event, and still only 21 years old, he believes a big win on Saturday keeps him on the right track toward making history by becoming the youngest UFC champion ever.
“Yeah, that's the goal,†Rosas told Full Send MMA. “I think right now I'm on a good path. Winning this main event, I think, puts my in a very good position to keep chasing that dream.â€
Even if Rosas does score a big win on Saturday, he's still in a race against time. “El Niño Problema†turns 22 in a couple of weeks, and Jon Jones currently holds the record for youngest UFC champion, winning the light heavyweight title at 23 years and 243 days. That gives Rosas under two years to work his way up the stacked bantamweight ladder, something he realizes is no easy feat.
“I've got to be ready for short notice fights, be willing to take risks, and this Saturday, make a big statement for sure,†Rosas said. “Not just a win, but I've got to make a statement.â€
But even if Rosas achieves his dreams and breaks Jones' record, don't expect a long title reign. Because Rosas doesn't just want to rush his way to a title, he also wants to get out of the sport quickly, too.
“Yeah, if by 25 I accomplish everything that I want to accomplish in my career, I'm just going to step back from the sport,†Rosas said. “The goal is to get the belt and then defend it a couple of times, try to challenge myself, go up a weight class, maybe two, and after I'm done, like, I run out of goals, that's when I'm just gonna quit. It could be 26, 27, 28, but I'm just saying whenever I'm done with my goals, that's when I'm gonna step out of the game.â€

Carlos Prates says UFC has confirmed he’s next for Islam Makhachev
So, I think most of us believe this is what’s going to happen, but speaking at Contender Series, Carlos Prates said the UFC confirmed he’s next, and he’s hoping for January.
Thoughts? Is Carlos gonna stop Islam’s run?

Jose Aldo was actually champion at nearly 6 months younger than Jon, but since the UFC didn't officially fold the WEC into its organization until long after Zuffa acquired it, he was only the de fact UFC featherweight champion, and Jon is technically the youngest UFC champion.
I always feel its important to note that because people desperately want to forget how incredible Jose Aldo was.
