Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the self-proclaimed "greatest fighter of all-time" and recently won the highly anticipated fight against his opponent Cotto. Mayweather is also the highest paid boxer of all time...
Mayweather was paid a $32 million guarantee for his fight against Cotto, not including the millions he will earn from Pay-Per-View sales...
Mayweather’s $32 million guarantee was not only the largest in the history of Nevada boxing but also the highest in the sport’s history, topping the $30 million Mike Tyson was guaranteed for his ear-chomping rematch with Evander Holyfield in 1997.
Cotto was paid an $8 million guarantee...
Mayweather has been guaranteed a total of $79.5 million. That includes $25 million for a glorified sparring session with untested Victor Ortiz and $22.5 million in 2010 for beating up Mosley as well as last night’s remarkable payday.
Mayweather has earned well over $100 million for his last three fights (including Cotto)...
Although it is difficult to believe the fight ultimately will do more business than the more than 2.4 million pay-per-view buys Mayweather did with boxing’s golden boy, De La Hoya, five years ago, the fight sold at a higher pay-per-view cost, which means added revenue. Mayweather-Cotto was selling for a remarkable $59.95. De La Hoya-Mayweather sold for $54.95.
We see why Mayweather calls himself "money"!! LOL
