Orlando Salido, winner of this yearās World Boxing Council fight of the year award for his draw against super-featherweight champion Francisco Vargas back in June, enjoys killing his time by driving his truck for Uber.
Of course, as a winner of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of his 43-13-4 career record, Salido doesnāt need the money. According to the LA Times, he does it just to pass the time and earn some cash.
From the Times:
Catching a lift to the airport with a former featherweight world champion at the wheel seems like an enhanced Uber service, but Salido says thereās no extra charge, and that some passengers arenāt even aware who he is.
āNot too many know me, but some? Yes,ā Salido said. āEverybody who does know are surprised to see me, but at the same time, they donāt know how much money Iāve already made.āļ»æ

He also rents out an apartment complex worth $700,000 and owns a party supplies rental company, you know, when he isnāt punching people or driving them to the airport.
āThatās what I do,ā said Salido, 36, who lives in Phoenix.ļ»æ
