Floyd Mayweather expects to make more than $300 million from his August 26 fight with Conor McGregor, according to his interview for Showtime’s “All Access: Mayweather v. McGregor” — explaining why no other professional athlete in the world is more bankable.
“I mean, am I the highest-paid athlete out there? And just coming back? We not talking about no contract. We not talking about no contract for no 4 years, or no contract for no 5 years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes.”
As for Conor, the UFC fighter is expecting to rake in around $100 mil for the August 26 superfight — but it’ll be largest payday an MMA fighter has ever made.
