Amid his victory over MMA fighter Conor McGregor, there has been speculation over how much money Floyd Mayweather Jr. and McGregor made.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced that Mayweather would get a minimum of $100 million for the fight—win or lose, MMA Fighting reported.
However, as Mayweather is co-promoting the event with the UFC, he may earn as much as $300 million for the event. After total Pay-Per-View and ticket sales are accounted for, the number will only increase. More conservative estimates online say he'll make anywhere from $200 million to $250 million.
