How much money does Floyd Mayweather earn from his exhibitions?
Mayweather has lived up to his moniker of 'Money' in post-retired life by earning multiple millions through his exhibition stunts. Mayweather reportedly bagged a $9 million guaranteed purse alongside the PPV shares in his fight against Tensin Nasukawa in Japan. The undefeated boxer then fought Logan Paul in an eight-round exhibition next.
The fight reportedly fetched Floyd Mayweather $65 million. However, Paul later accused his opponent of underpaying him. Nevertheless, Mayweather went on to grab a $10 million purse with 80% of the PPV shares in his next matchup against Don Moore. The upcoming clash against Mikuru Asakura will likely bring a similar financial figure to Mayweather, who is still reflecting peak athletic features at this age.
Floyd Mayweather is also being pitched in potential rematches against Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao. So, we are yet to see the end of ‘Money’ Mayweather in the sport of boxing.
