They don’t call him Money Mayweather for no reason.
Yesterday (June 15), after months of talks and anticipation, the fight between Floyd Mayweather and UFC’s Conor McGregor was officially finalized.
We know it will be in Las Vegas. We know the boxing bout will be held at the T-Mobile arena. We also know that it will be fought at 154 pounds. But the real question is how much money are they making?
According to TMZ, he’s looking at making some BIG bucks out of the rare UFC/Boxing matchup.
Floyd has said he expects to make between $200 and $300 million for the McGregor fight — though he hasn’t confirmed the terms of the deal yet.
We spoke with Dana White who says Conor should rake in around $100 mil.
That’s big dollars we are talking about. No matter what the outcome will be it will surely be entertaining to see the hype before the fight.
