Appliance manufacturer "Salton Inc." paid Foreman approximately $137 million for the right to use his name on the grills.
Given that he had to split $10 million with Ali when they fought, and that he made about $15 million at most for his fight with Holyfield . . . .
Grills, by a long shot.

I believe Foreman sold his share of the company for something like $140 million some years ago. That alone is well above his boxing purses.
Plus, he's probably getting some sort of fee on an annual basis for the use of his name. Therefore, George is doing quite well.

I heard somewhere Big George sold his company for 400 million, so I'd say the grills treated George better than boxing.
