Floyd Mayweather
puts his legacy and undefeated record on the line Saturday night when he
steps into the ring against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
Mayweather will receive a record guarantee of $41.5 million (Canelo is due
$5 million) and is in line for a total payout millions more after all of the pay-
per-view receipts are counted and “Money” Mayweather takes his cut.
In a 17-year career full of monster paydays, it will be the biggest one yet,
topping the $45 million, including his share of PPV revenue, for fighting
Miguel Cotto in 2012. Mayweather’s cumulative earnings will likely hit $350
million with the Canelo fight.
Mayweather’s take from the Canelo fight will ultimately be based on the final
PPV count. Mayweather Promotions chief Leonard Ellerbe thinks
Mayweather could rake in as much as $100 million from the fight, which
would likely require at least three million buys. It’s an optimistic tally, but if
Mayweather nets $70 million from the fight, it will push his career earnings
to $350 million.
Mayweather is far from done making money with this fight. He has four
fights remaining after Canelo on the six-fight deal he signed with Showtime
in February. Mayweather is likely looking at more than $150 million from
those bouts which would make him the half-a-billion dollar man.
